Garage Door Opener Repair
Motors, gears, logic boards, safety sensors, remotes, keypads and Wi-Fi modules — diagnosed properly instead of replaced by default.
Half of the "dead opener" calls we attend are not the opener
An opener that hums, stops halfway, reverses at the floor or ignores the remote is often reporting a problem elsewhere — a spring that has lost tension, a roller binding in the track, sensors nudged out of alignment by a bicycle, or a Florida power surge that took the logic board. Replacing the unit without checking those means paying for a new opener that fails the same way.
We start with the door: balance test, hardware check, track and roller condition. Then the opener: force and travel limits, safety reverse, sensor alignment and voltage, board diagnostics, gear and belt condition, and receiver function. You get told which of those failed, with a repair price and — if the unit is genuinely obsolete — a replacement price beside it.

Common opener symptoms and what they usually mean
Motor runs, door stays put
Stripped drive gear or a disconnected trolley — a very common LiftMaster and Chamberlain wear item.
Door reverses just before closing
Safety sensors misaligned or dirty, or the close force set too low for a binding door.
Clicks once and nothing happens
Capacitor or logic board failure, frequently after a lightning-season surge.
Remote works, wall button does not
Wall console or its low-voltage wiring — cheap to fix, easy to misdiagnose as the board.
Range has dropped to a few feet
Receiver antenna damage or RF interference from an LED bulb or a new device in the garage.
Grinding or slapping noise
Chain or belt tension, a worn sprocket, or the door itself dragging on the tracks.

Balance and hardware checked before we blame the electronics.

Repair or replace, your choice

Calibrate and safety test

Repair or replace?
A rough rule: if the unit is under ten years old and parts are current, repair almost always wins. Beyond that it depends on these.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which part failed | A sensor pair or a gear kit is a modest repair. A logic board on an older unit often is not. |
| Parts availability | Discontinued boards for obsolete models can cost more than a current-generation opener. |
| Age and duty | A fifteen-year-old chain drive on a heavy double door is near end of life regardless of the fault. |
| Surge damage extent | Lightning-season surges sometimes take board, receiver and sensors together. |
| Features you want | Battery backup, quiet belt drive and Wi-Fi control are reasons customers replace a repairable unit. |
Every job is quoted in writing on site before work starts. Ranges given by phone are estimates until a technician sees the door.
Surge protection is not optional here
Florida leads the country in lightning strikes, and opener logic boards are among the most commonly surge-damaged items in a Florida home. If you have replaced a board once, fit a surge protector on the outlet — and if your opener has no battery backup, consider adding one: state law now requires battery backup on newly installed residential openers, and a power cut during a storm is exactly when you need the door to move.
