How We Get You Moving Again

First, we diagnose the real problem. Many opener issues aren’t actually opener problems—they’re door balance, spring, or track issues that make your opener work harder than it should.

We explain exactly what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix before we start any work. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Our trucks carry the parts needed for most common repairs, so we can usually complete your repair in one visit. Springs, motors, cables, remotes, keypads—we stock what breaks most often.

After the repair, we test everything to make sure it works smoothly and safely. You’ll see the difference immediately.

What Your Repair Includes

Every garage opener repair starts with a thorough inspection of your entire garage door system. We check the opener motor, drive mechanism, safety sensors, remote controls, and wall switches.

We also examine your door’s balance, springs, cables, and tracks because problems here often cause opener failures. South Farmingdale’s weather extremes can affect these components, and we know what to look for.

Your repair includes adjustment of safety features, lubrication of moving parts, and testing of all functions. We make sure your opener responds properly to remotes, wall switches, and safety sensors.

First-time customers receive a 10% discount on their repair service. We want to earn your trust and show you the quality that’s kept us in business for nearly 80 years.

Garage Opener Repairing Hands Nassau County New York

Why does my garage door opener work sometimes but not others?

Intermittent operation usually points to one of three issues: remote control problems, electrical connections, or safety sensor misalignment. Remote controls can lose signal strength due to weak batteries, interference from other devices, or internal component failure. Sometimes the remote needs reprogramming to sync with your opener. Loose electrical connections in the opener motor or wall switch can cause sporadic operation. Temperature changes common in South Farmingdale can expand and contract these connections over time. Safety sensors at the bottom of your door tracks must align perfectly. If they’re knocked out of position by lawn equipment, weather, or normal use, your opener may work from the wall switch but not the remote, or start to close then reverse immediately.
Most garage opener repairs in our area range from $85 to $300, depending on what needs fixing. Simple issues like remote battery replacement or sensor realignment cost less, while motor or drive system repairs cost more. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Many problems that seem major are actually simple fixes—like a door that’s out of balance making the opener work too hard. Sometimes what appears to be an opener problem is actually a broken spring or cable. These repairs often cost less than full opener replacement and can extend your opener’s life significantly. First-time customers receive 10% off their repair service. We’d rather earn your long-term business with fair pricing than maximize profit on a single job.
Most opener problems can be repaired for much less than replacement cost. We recommend repair when the motor is functioning and the drive system is intact. Replace your opener if the motor has failed completely, if repair costs exceed 60% of replacement cost, or if your opener is over 15 years old and having multiple issues. Modern openers offer better safety features, quieter operation, and smartphone connectivity. If your current opener lacks these features and needs major repairs, replacement might make more sense. We’ll give you honest advice about repair versus replacement based on your opener’s condition and your needs. Our goal is to provide the most cost-effective solution that keeps your garage door working reliably.
Yes, we service all major garage door opener brands including LiftMaster, Genie, Craftsman, Chamberlain, and older models that are no longer manufactured. Our trucks carry parts for the most common repairs across all brands. For less common parts, we can usually source them within 24 hours from our supplier network. We’ve been repairing garage door openers since 1945, so we’ve seen virtually every type and brand that’s been installed in South Farmingdale homes over the decades. Even if your opener is an older model, we can often repair it or retrofit it with modern safety features. Sometimes the most reliable openers are the older, simpler models that just need basic maintenance.
Most repairs take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the problem and whether we have the needed parts on our truck. Simple fixes like remote programming, sensor alignment, or switch replacement typically take under an hour. Motor repairs, drive system replacement, or multiple component issues may take longer. We carry common repair parts in our trucks, so we can complete most jobs in a single visit. If we need to order a special part, we’ll make temporary repairs when possible to keep your door functional. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. We understand that a non-working garage door disrupts your entire routine, especially during South Farmingdale’s harsh winter weather when you need reliable shelter for your vehicle.
Yes, we provide emergency repair service for situations where you can’t access your garage or your door won’t close properly, leaving your home unsecured. Common emergencies include openers that won’t respond at all, doors that close partway then reverse, or safety systems that prevent normal operation. We prioritize emergency calls and aim to respond the same day when possible. Our trucks are stocked with parts for the most urgent repairs. If we can’t complete the full repair immediately, we’ll make temporary fixes to restore basic function and security, then return to complete the permanent repair. Your safety and security are our primary concerns, especially during off-hours when other services aren’t available.
