Garage Door Opener Repair for Saint Clair Shores homes and businesses
Opener faults split into three groups: the safety sensors, the drive mechanism, and the logic board. Sensors and gear kits are inexpensive and worth repairing. A burnt board on a twenty-year-old chain drive usually is not, and we will say so rather than sell you a repair that costs more than a new unit.
We work on everything from twenty-year-old single-skin builder doors to new insulated steel and carriage-house units across Saint Clair Shores. That range matters, because it means we can tell you honestly when a repair is the sensible option and when you are better off putting the money toward a door that won't need us again next winter.
Call (888) 904-6236 any hour, or see everything we cover on our Saint Clair Shores garage door page.

We run a small body shop and the bay door failing costs us a whole day. They came out after closing so we opened on time the next morning.

Alicia M.Opener repair questions, answered
My opener hums but the door doesn't move. What's wrong?
If the door lifts easily by hand after pulling the release cord, the problem is inside the opener, usually a stripped plastic drive gear. That is an inexpensive, very common repair. If the door is heavy to lift by hand, the opener is fine and you have a broken spring, in which case running the opener again risks damaging it.
Is it worth repairing an old garage door opener?
It depends on the part and the age. Sensors, gear kits, remotes and limit switches are cheap and worth fixing at almost any age. A failed logic board on a unit over fifteen years old usually is not, because the replacement board costs a large fraction of a new, quieter, safer opener. We give you both numbers.
Why do my garage door remotes keep losing their programming?
Intermittent loss is usually a weak logic board or a failing antenna wire rather than the remotes. If only one remote misbehaves, start with the battery. If all of them drop out together, and especially if the range has been shrinking, the receiver in the opener head is the likely culprit.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year for a door that gets normal daily use, and twice if it is the main entrance to the house or a commercial door cycling dozens of times a day. Michigan winters are particularly hard on cables and rollers, so a service in autumn catches problems before the cold makes them worse.
My garage door won't open. What should I check before calling?
Pull the red release cord and try lifting the door by hand. If it is extremely heavy or won't budge, you have a broken spring and should stop there. If it lifts easily, the fault is in the opener: check the photo-eye sensors near the floor for a blinking light, obstruction or misalignment, and confirm the opener still has power. Tell us what you found and we can often diagnose it on the phone.
