Opener install & repair
Belt-drive openers installed, dead boards diagnosed, remotes and keypads that actually pair.
Typical price, installed
$480–$850
A new belt-drive opener, installed, including the unit. Repairs on your existing opener typically run $130–$260.
Sound familiar?
- The opener hums but the door doesn’t move
- It reverses for no reason, or only closes if you hold the button
- Remotes and keypads have stopped pairing
- It’s loud enough to wake whoever sleeps over the garage
What I do about it
- Repair first: boards, sensors, gears, and travel limits on your existing unit if it’s worth saving
- New installs are quiet belt-drive units with battery backup — the door still opens when the power is out
- Safety sensors aligned and tested, force limits set to spec, every remote and the keypad paired before I leave
- Your old unit hauled away, not left in the corner
Asked on most driveways
Chain or belt drive?
Belt, in almost every house — it’s quieter for a bedroom-over-garage layout and the price gap has closed to almost nothing. If your garage is detached and you don’t care about noise, a chain unit saves a little.
Can you fix my opener instead of replacing it?
If parts are still made for it, usually yes, and I’ll quote the repair against the replacement so you can see when fixing stops making sense.
Do smart-home features work with my phone?
The units I install open and close from an app, and can alert you if the door is left open. I set it up on your phone before I leave — no “download the app after I’m gone.”
