Need garage door opener repair, or is it time for a new opener? We come out, find what is wrong and tell you straight whether it is worth fixing. The inspection is free, and we cover homes across the Bay Area.
Most garage door opener repair calls start with one of these problems:
Before any garage door opener repair, we check the whole system, not just the motor: springs, cables, rollers, door balance, safety sensors and auto-reverse. Then we tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix it. A lot of opener problems turn out to be a broken spring or a door that is out of balance. See our spring repair page if that is what you are dealing with.
If your opener is more than 15 years old or the logic board has failed, a new opener usually makes more sense than a repair. Parts get hard to find, and new openers come with the battery backup California requires. We give you both options and you decide.

Since 2019, California law requires new residential garage door openers to have a battery backup. Every opener we install has one, so your door still works during a power outage.
About two to three hours for most garages.
A belt-drive or wall-mount opener with a DC motor. Both are good choices when there is a bedroom above the garage.
Yes. A wall-mount opener like the LiftMaster 98022 mounts beside the door and needs almost no ceiling space.
Yes. We check the opener and the door and tell you what we find before any work starts.
