If the door moves fine by hand but the opener won't move it, the problem is almost always the opener, the remotes or the safety sensors. Our garage door opener repair service fixes LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear and Marantec units. When an opener is past saving, we install a new belt-drive, chain-drive or wall-mount jackshaft opener the same day.
Modern openers do much more than lift a door. Battery backup keeps it working during power outages. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you check and close the door from your phone. Rolling-code remotes stop code grabbing. Since 2017, California law requires battery backup on newly installed residential openers, and every opener we install complies.
Repair first, replace only when it pays
Many openers that look dead just need a new gear, a logic board, a travel module or a sensor. We test the motor and board before suggesting a new unit, and we'll tell you if a 15-year-old opener isn't worth fixing.
Wi-Fi and app setup
We connect myQ and other smart openers to your phone and show you how alerts work.
Belt-drive upgrades
A belt-drive opener on a balanced door is quiet enough for homes with bedrooms over the garage.

Opener types we install
The right opener depends on your door's weight, your ceiling space and how much noise matters to you. We bring the options and help you choose.
Belt-drive openers
Chain-drive openers
Wall-mount jackshaft
Wall-mount openers sit beside the door on the torsion bar and leave the ceiling clear. They work well with high-lift doors, storage racks and garages with a car lift. They also suit modern full-view glass doors, where an overhead rail would show through the glass.

Keypads, remotes and gate access
Lost remotes, a new car, or a keypad that stopped working after a battery change are some of our quickest calls. We program remotes and keypads, set up car-integrated openers, and replace worn wall consoles. For homes and HOA communities with driveway or courtyard gates, we also diagnose gate opener controls, keypads and safety sensors, and we tell you plainly when the gate operator itself needs a gate specialist.
Moving into a new home? We recommend erasing all old remote codes from the opener memory and reprogramming only your own remotes. It takes about ten minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Usually a stripped drive gear, a broken belt or chain, or a disconnected trolley. It can also mean a broken spring is leaving the door too heavy. We check the door first so we don't put a new gear on a door that will strip it again.
Yes. Since July 2019, California law (SB 969) requires battery backup on newly installed residential openers. Every opener we install includes it.
Belt-drive openers are much quieter, so they're best for attached garages with living space above. Chain drives are a little louder and cost slightly less.
Yes, as long as the door is balanced and the springs are healthy. We check the door first, because a smart opener on a bad door just fails sooner.
