Auto-reversal not working. The safety feature that reverses the door if it hits an obstacle. This is critical for safety. We test and repair the sensor or force-detect system.

Door opens but won’t close. Typically a safety sensor issue. Dirt on the lens, broken wire, or failed sensor. We clean and repair.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Opener

If your opener is less than 10 years old and the repair is $200 or less, repair makes sense. If the motor is dead, the chain is broken, or repairs exceed $400–500, replacement is smarter.

Newer openers are more efficient, quieter, and have better safety features. If you’re replacing, you get a warranty on the new unit plus our labor warranty.

We’ll give you honest advice. If repair makes financial sense, we repair. If replacement is better, we’ll tell you why and give you pricing.
