Garage door opener repair covers the motor unit, drive system, safety sensors, and remotes that move your door. Most failures come down to a stripped gear, a disconnected trolley, or misaligned sensors. We repair and install LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie units and carry common parts on every truck.
We expertly diagnose and repair all opener issues, from faulty circuit boards and worn out gears to misaligned safety sensors and remote programming failures. We specialize in all major brands, including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Craftsman, ensuring we use the right parts for a lasting repair.
Upgrade to a safer, quieter, and more reliable system. We install the latest openers featuring ultra quiet belt drives, battery backup, and smart home connectivity (MyQ). Our experts will help you select the perfect model for your door’s weight and your family’s needs. Opener safety is also federal law: since 1991 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has required every residential opener to reverse automatically, with photo-eye sensors added in 1993, and 16 CFR Part 1211 requires a closing door to reverse within two seconds of contact. We test that reversal on every opener we touch, and if yours predates those rules, we will recommend replacing it rather than repairing it.

Quick Troubleshooting You Can Do First In some cases, a simple fix might solve the problem. Before calling, we recommend you:
Check Remote Batteries: This is the most common cause of an unresponsive remote.
Check the Power: Ensure the opener is plugged into a working outlet.
Check the Safety Sensors: Look for solid lights on both sensors and ensure nothing is blocking their path.
If your opener is over 10-15 years old, lacks modern safety features (like photo-eye sensors), or requires frequent repairs, replacement is often the safer and more cost effective long term solution. Our technicians can provide an honest assessment.
