Recognize the Problem
If pressing the button does nothing — no light, no motor sound — the opener may have lost power or the logic board may be failing.
If the door starts to close then immediately opens again, the safety sensor alignment is usually the culprit — a quick, inexpensive fix.
Unusual sounds from the motor unit often mean worn gears, a stripped drive, or the opener straining against a mechanical issue like a broken spring.
A door that moves without being triggered usually points to frequency interference, a stuck remote button, or a failing circuit board.
You hear the motor running, but nothing happens. This often means the disconnect cord was pulled, or the drive gear or trolley is stripped.
Older openers lack modern safety features like auto-reverse and rolling code security. Upgrading is often more economical than repeated repairs.
What's Included
Diagnosis of the full opener system
We test the motor, logic board, sensors, drive, remotes, and wall button — not just the symptom you called about.
Sensor alignment and testing
Safety sensors are realigned, cleaned, and verified so the auto-reverse function works exactly as it should.
Remote and keypad programming
All remotes, key fobs, and keypads are programmed before we leave. We'll also set up smart phone access if you're getting a new opener.
New opener installation (when needed)
We carry and install belt drive, chain drive, and wall-mount openers from top brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, and Genie.
Force and travel limit adjustment
After any repair or install, we calibrate the open and close limits and force settings so the door operates smoothly and safely.

Common Questions
It depends on the age and the problem. If the opener is under 10 years old and the repair is relatively minor (sensors, circuit board, drive gear), repair usually makes sense. If it's older than 12–15 years or it's had multiple issues, a new unit is often more cost-effective and gives you modern features like rolling code security and smartphone access. We'll give you an honest recommendation when we diagnose it.
This is almost always a safety sensor issue. The photo-eye sensors near the floor of each side of the door need to be aligned and pointing directly at each other. Dirt, a bump from a car, or a hanging cobweb can throw them off. It can also be caused by the close-force limit set too low, telling the motor the door hit an obstruction when it didn't.
Chain drive is the most common and durable, but tends to be louder — fine if the garage isn't attached or under a bedroom. Belt drive uses a rubber belt and runs much quieter, making it ideal for attached garages. Screw drive has fewer moving parts and needs less maintenance but can be sensitive to temperature extremes. We can help you choose the right type for your setup.
Usually not. Start by replacing the batteries — dead batteries are the most common cause. If that doesn't fix it, try reprogramming the remote. If the wall button still works but the remote doesn't after fresh batteries and reprogramming, the remote itself may need replacing. We can reprogram or replace remotes for all major brands.
Yes. We install and set up smart openers including LiftMaster with built-in myQ and Genie's Aladdin Connect. These let you open, close, and monitor your garage from anywhere via your phone. Some models also integrate with Amazon Key for in-garage package delivery. Ask us about smart opener options when you call.
