Garage Door Opener Repair
Openers are the second-most-common call we get. Sometimes it's the motor, sometimes it's the trolley or gear kit, and sometimes it's a $0 fix like a flipped lock switch or a misaligned sensor. We service most major brands — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman and more — and we'll tell you straight when a repair makes sense and when a new opener is the better money.
Straightforward pricing
$100–$400

Common questions
Repair or replace my opener?
Rough rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new opener, or the unit is 15+ years old without safety sensors, replacement is usually the better money. We'll lay out both numbers for you.
Which opener brands do you work on?
Most major brands — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and others. If it's mounted in a residential garage, odds are we've fixed one like it.
Why does my door reverse before closing?
Usually the safety sensors — misaligned, dirty, or sun glare — or the closing force needs adjustment. It's often one of the cheapest fixes on the menu.
How much does garage door opener repair cost?
$100–$400 depending on the fault. Remote and sensor fixes sit at the low end; motor, gear kit, and logic board work at the high end. You get the exact number before we start — and if replacement is the smarter money, we'll say so.
Why did my remotes suddenly stop working?
Batteries first — always. After that: the opener's lock/vacation switch, a remote that lost its programming, or a failing receiver board. If the wall button works but remotes don't, it's almost never the expensive part.
