Opener Problems, Solved
When an opener acts up, the cause is often simple: misaligned photo-eye sensors, a worn gear, a stripped trolley, a failed logic board or travel limits that drifted out of adjustment. Sometimes the opener is fine and the door itself is the problem, because an opener cannot lift a door whose spring has failed. We check both so you are not paying to fix the wrong thing.
When replacement is the better value, we install quiet belt-drive openers, dependable chain-drive units and space-saving wall-mounted jackshaft openers. Today’s openers include battery backup so the door works in a power outage, built-in Wi-Fi so you can open, close and monitor the door from your phone, and LED lighting that lasts for years.

Request serviceWhich Opener Is Right for You?Three drive types, each with a place.
Chain drive
The dependable workhorse. Slightly louder than belt drive, very durable and a good value for detached garages.
Wall-mount (jackshaft)
Mounts beside the door on the torsion shaft, freeing the ceiling for storage or lifts and ideal for tall or high-lift doors.
Safety Features Worth Having
Photo-eye sensors
Required on all openers since 1993. If a beam is broken while the door closes, the door reverses. We test them on every visit.
Auto-reverse force
The door should reverse when it meets resistance. We set the force limits so the door stops for a child, a pet or a bumper.
Battery backup
A backup battery keeps the door working through the power outages that come with Northwest wind storms.
Rolling-code remotes
Modern remotes change their code with every use, so a captured signal cannot be replayed to open your door.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?+
Repair often makes sense for a newer opener with a single failed part. Replacement is usually the better value when an older unit is unreliable, lacks safety sensors or battery backup, or needs an expensive board.
Why does my door reverse when it is almost closed?+
Something is interrupting the safety sensors, or the close-force limit is tripping because the door is binding. Check for anything blocking the sensors at the bottom of the track, then call if it continues.
Can you install a smart opener I can control from my phone?+
Yes. Most new openers we install include built-in Wi-Fi and a free app for opening, closing, scheduling and alerts.
How long do garage door openers last?+
Many openers last 10 to 15 years with a well-balanced door. A door with a broken spring or dragging rollers wears an opener out much faster.
