Garage Door Opener Repair
Motor hums but nothing moves, remote is dead, or the door reverses on its own. Open 24 hours, with a flat price quoted before anyone picks up a tool.
What garage door opener repair involves
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 every common brand and door type: sectional, rolling steel, carriage-house, single-skin and insulated doors, with openers from LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Wayne Dalton, Marantec and Overhead Door. Residential and commercial work both welcome.
Call (888) 904-6236 and describe what is happening. We can usually identify the failed part on the phone and give you a price range before dispatch.
How we work
- Call and describe itTell us what the door is doing. Nine times out of ten we can name the failed part on the phone and give you a price range before anyone drives out.
- Pick your windowSame day where we have capacity, next day otherwise, and a genuine two-hour window rather than 'sometime Tuesday'.
- Diagnosis and flat quoteThe technician confirms the fault, shows you the part, and gives a written flat price. If you don't want the work, there's nothing further to pay on a standard callout.
- Fixed, tested, tidiedWe complete the repair, rebalance the door, test the safety reversal, lubricate the moving parts and take the old components away.

Straight repair-or-replace advice

Nights, weekends, holidays. A trapped car or a door stuck open is an emergency, and we treat it like one.
Recent customers
New insulated door fitted in about four hours. The garage is noticeably warmer and the thing is so quiet I can't hear it from the kitchen anymore.
Greg P.Door came off the track on a Sunday afternoon. Someone actually answered the phone, which already put them ahead of the first two I tried.
Alicia M.Backed into the door. Genuinely thought I'd need a whole new one. They matched the bottom panel and you cannot tell where the damage was.
Tony S.Common questions
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.
Can you replace a broken garage door spring the same day in your city?
Usually yes. Standard torsion springs for residential doors ride on the van, so most your city spring calls are completed on the first visit. Oversized, high-cycle or unusual commercial springs may need ordering, in which case we secure the door safely and return as soon as the part lands.
Do you charge extra for nights and weekends in your city?
We publish the after-hours rate when you book so there is no ambush on the invoice. Many straightforward evening calls in your city are charged at the standard rate. If a job can safely wait until morning at a lower price, we will tell you that instead of taking the premium.
How much does garage door repair cost in your city?
Small repairs such as sensor realignment, a roller swap or a limit adjustment are usually the minimum service charge. A torsion spring replacement on a standard double door is the most common job and sits in the low hundreds for a matched pair fitted. Opener repairs depend on whether it is a gear kit or a logic board. You get a flat number before we start, not an hourly rate.
