Repair vs. Replace - How We Help You Decide

Repair Makes Sense When:

  • • Opener is less than 10 years old
  • • Simple fix (gear replacement, belt, adjustment): $150-$400
  • • Opener has features you like (WiFi already, quiet operation)
  • • Budget-conscious - get 3-5 more years from current opener

↻ Replace Makes Sense When:

  • • Opener is 10+ years old (repair costs approach replacement cost)
  • • Major failure (burned motor, multiple components): $300-$500 repair
  • • Want modern features (WiFi, battery backup, ultra-quiet)
  • • New opener $300-$600 with 10-year warranty vs $300 repair with no warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my garage door opener not working?

Common causes: broken gears (motor runs, door doesn't move), burned motor (clicking/humming only), broken chain/belt (snapped), power failure (check breaker), disconnected from door (emergency release pulled), remote battery dead, limit switch needs adjustment. We diagnose and fix same day - most repairs under $400.

Can you repair my opener or do I need replacement?

Depends on age and damage. Openers 10+ years old: usually better to replace ($300-$600 for new WiFi opener). Openers under 10 years: often repairable ($150-$400). We assess and provide both repair and replacement quotes - you decide. New openers include WiFi, battery backup, and better safety features.

How long does emergency opener repair take?

60-90 minute emergency response. Repair takes 45-90 minutes (gear replacement, motor repair, belt/chain replacement). New opener installation: 2-3 hours. Most customers have working door same day. We carry common parts and new openers on trucks.

What if my opener is sparking or smoking?

UNPLUG IMMEDIATELY - fire risk. Sparking indicates short circuit (damaged wiring, motor burnout). Do not use opener until inspected. Call for emergency service - we'll assess if repairable or needs replacement. Safety is priority.

Will a new opener work with my old door?

Yes - new openers work with all standard garage doors (installed since 1980s). We'll verify compatibility during service call. If your door has unusual hardware (very old, custom), we carry universal mounting brackets to adapt new opener.

Do new openers have better features than my old one?

Yes - modern openers include: WiFi smartphone control, battery backup (power outages), ultra-quiet belt drive, security rolling codes, automatic lights, MyQ integration with Alexa/Google. Upgrading from old opener = significant convenience and security improvement.
