Straight Shot Garage

New Garage Door Opener Installation

When an opener is past saving — or you're just done with the racket — we install quiet, reliable new openers and set everything up before we leave: remotes, keypad, safety sensors, and smartphone control if the unit supports it. We'll size the motor to your door, not upsell you the biggest box on the shelf.

Straightforward pricing

$900–$1,100 installed

Depends on the unit you choose. Price includes the opener, installation, programming, and haul-away of the old one.

Signs you need this

  • Your old opener needs repairs that cost half the price of a new one
  • No safety sensors (openers from before the mid-1990s)
  • You want quiet — belt drives are a different world from old chain units
  • You want smartphone control and alerts when the door opens

How we handle it

  • Help you choose the right drive type and horsepower for your door
  • Remove and haul away the old unit
  • Install, align safety sensors, and set travel and force limits
  • Program remotes, keypad, and app — and show you how it all works

Common questions

Belt drive or chain drive?

Belt drives are noticeably quieter — the right call if there's a bedroom over or beside the garage. Chains are rugged and cost a bit less. We install both and will give you a straight recommendation.

How long does installation take?

Usually 2–4 hours for a straightforward swap, done in one visit. We carry common units on the truck.

Can my new opener work with my phone?

Yes — most current openers have built-in Wi-Fi so you can open, close, and get alerts from an app. We set it up before we leave.

How much does a new garage door opener cost installed?

$900–$1,100 all-in with us: the opener itself, installation, safety sensor alignment, programming of remotes and keypad, and haul-away of your old unit. The exact number depends on which unit you choose.

What horsepower opener do I need?

It depends on the door, not the marketing. A standard steel double door doesn't need the biggest motor on the shelf; a heavy insulated or custom wood door does. We size the opener to your actual door — a properly balanced door barely works the motor anyway.
