Repair vs. Replace

Many opener problems—stripped gears, misaligned sensors, worn trolley assemblies—are repairable at lower cost than replacement. If your opener lacks modern safety or convenience features, we’ll price both options so you can choose what makes sense.

Smart Opener Benefits

Smart Wi‑Fi openers add open/close alerts, in‑app access sharing, vacation mode, and integration with leading platforms. Battery backup keeps your door moving during power outages.

FAQs

Why is my opener so loud?

Older chain‑drive models and worn rollers can rattle and vibrate. A tuned chain‑drive or a quiet belt‑drive opener significantly reduces noise.

Do I need new tracks with a new opener?

No. Tracks are part of the door system, not the opener. We evaluate rollers and track alignment during every visit.

Typical Costs and Options

Minor repairs—sensor alignment, trolley parts, limit adjustments—often cost less than replacement. When upgrades are worthwhile, we recommend quiet belt‑drive models with Wi‑Fi and battery backup. We’ll price both paths with clear pros and cons.

When Replacement Makes Sense

If the motor is failing, parts are discontinued, or the unit lacks essential safety features, a modern opener provides reliability and smart control with a modest energy footprint.
