My opener is making a grinding noise. Do I need a new one?

Not necessarily. Grinding often indicates worn internal gears or a loose chain. We can often replace the gear assembly for a fraction of the cost of a new unit.

Can I use my smartphone to open my old garage door?

In many cases, yes. We can retrofit your existing opener with a smart hub or gateway that connects it to your Wi-Fi network.

How long do garage door openers last?

The average lifespan is 10 to 15 years. If your unit was manufactured before 1993 (and lacks safety eyes), we strongly recommend upgrading to a compliant, safer model.

Essential Technology for Garage Door Security

Upgrade to a Modern Operating System

We supply and install top-tier models from LiftMaster, Genie, and Chamberlain. We will help you choose the right horsepower and drive type for your specific door weight and lifestyle.

Belt Drive Openers (The Quiet Choice)
Perfect for homes with a bedroom above the garage. Belt drives use a steel-reinforced rubber belt rather than a steel chain, offering ultra-quiet operation and smooth performance.
Chain Drive Openers (The Workhorse)
Known for their durability and strength, chain drives are the standard for heavy doors. They are reliable, budget-friendly, and built to handle the heaviest insulated steel doors or wood carriage doors.
Wall-Mount (Jackshaft) Openers
Tight on ceiling space? These units mount on the wall beside the garage door, freeing up overhead space for storage. They connect directly to the torsion bar, providing a clean look and exceptionally quiet performance.
Smart & Wi-Fi Enabled Features
Control your door from anywhere in the world. We install units compatible with myQ, Aladdin Connect, and other smart home platforms.
- Smartphone Alerts: Get notified if you left the door open.
- Keyless Entry: Grant access to guests or delivery drivers remotely.
- Battery Backup: Ensure you can still get in and out during a power outage.

Expert Opener Repair Services

Not ready to replace? We can often fix the issue. Our technicians carry parts for most major makes and models. Common repairs we handle include:

Stripped Gears & Sprockets: If the motor hums but the chain doesn't move, the internal gears may be worn.
Logic Board Failure: We diagnose electrical issues caused by power surges or age.
Sensor Alignment: Fixing blinking lights on the photo-eye safety sensors to ensure the door closes properly.
Remote & Keypad Programming: We can sync new transmitters or install a wireless outdoor keypad for keyless entry.
