Garage door opener repair and replacement

If the opener hums but nothing moves, the remote stopped working, or the door reverses for no reason, we can find out why and fix it, or recommend a replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.

We service all major opener brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and Linear: chain drive, belt drive, screw drive and wall-mount (jackshaft) units.

Many opener problems are small: misaligned safety sensors, a stripped drive gear, a worn trolley, a failed logic board or remotes that lost their programming. We test everything and tell you whether repair or replacement is the better value.

When it’s time for a new opener, modern units add real benefits: Wi-Fi control from your phone, battery backup so you’re not stuck during a power outage, rolling-code security, and belt drives quiet enough for a bedroom above the garage.

Common opener problems we fix

  • Opener doesn’t respond to the remote or wall button
  • Door opens but won’t close all the way
  • Motor runs but the door doesn’t move
  • Grinding, clicking or loud chain noise
  • Safety sensors misaligned or failing
  • Remote and keypad programming
  • Drive gear and sprocket replacement
  • Logic board and circuit board repairs

How we do it

  1. Diagnose

    We test the opener, remotes, wall button, sensors and the door itself.

  2. Repair or replace?

    You get both options with prices, and our honest recommendation.

  3. Do the work

    Repair or installation with quality parts and correct force and travel settings.

  4. Program and test

    Remotes, keypad and app set up, safety reverse tested.

Common questions

  • If the opener is fairly new and the problem is a gear, sensor or board, repair is usually worth it. Older units that need major parts are often better replaced, especially if you want Wi-Fi or battery backup.

  • Opener repair and replacement typically runs $200 to $600 depending on the part or model.

  • LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear and most other brands.
