How do I know if I need garage door opener replacement or just repair?

If your opener was manufactured before 1993, replacement is usually the better option because older units don’t meet current safety standards and may not pass home inspections. For newer openers, we first diagnose the specific problem. Common repair situations include unresponsive remotes, doors that don’t open completely, or grinding noises during operation. However, if repair costs exceed 40-50% of replacement cost, or if your opener repeatedly fails due to an unbalanced door, replacement becomes the smarter investment. We’ll always give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation and budget.
Belt drive openers are popular in Westbury because they operate much quieter than chain drives – important when your garage is attached to your home or close to neighbors. They use steel-reinforced rubber belts instead of chains, providing smoother operation. Chain drive openers cost less upfront and are extremely reliable, but they’re noisier. They work well for detached garages where noise isn’t a concern. For most Westbury homeowners, we recommend at least 1/2 horsepower, though the exact requirement depends on your door’s size and weight. Smart openers with Wi-Fi connectivity are increasingly popular, allowing you to monitor and control your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone.
Most garage door opener replacements take 2-4 hours, depending on your specific situation. If we’re replacing an existing opener with a similar model, the job goes faster. If we’re upgrading from a very old system or adding new electrical work, it may take longer. We handle everything during the installation visit: removing your old opener, installing the new unit, connecting all electrical components, programming remotes, and testing all safety features. We also show you how to operate your new system and answer any questions. The goal is to complete everything in one visit so you’re not left without a working garage door. We come prepared with the tools and parts needed to finish the job properly.
Garage door opener replacement typically costs between $220 and $700, including the unit and professional installation. Chain drive openers start around $150 for the unit, while belt drive and smart openers can cost $500 or more. The final cost depends on the type of opener you choose, any additional features like battery backup or smart connectivity, and whether electrical work is needed. We provide free estimates and explain all costs upfront – no surprises or hidden fees. First-time customers receive a 10% discount on their service. We believe in transparent pricing and will always recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific needs.
Yes, we service and replace garage door openers from all major manufacturers including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Genie, and others. Our technicians have experience with chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, and direct drive systems. We keep a full inventory of common replacement parts on our service trucks, so we can often complete repairs in a single visit. For replacements, we’ll recommend the best opener for your specific door and usage patterns, regardless of what brand you currently have. Our nearly 80 years in business means we’ve worked with virtually every type of garage door opener system available. We stay current with new technology while maintaining expertise in older systems still common in Westbury homes.
Modern garage door openers must include safety eyes that detect objects in the door’s path and automatically reverse the door if something is detected. This became a federal requirement in 1993, so older openers without this feature should be replaced. Other important safety features include automatic reversal when the door encounters resistance, manual release handles for power outages, and rolling code technology that changes the remote’s signal each time you use it to prevent unauthorized access. Smart openers add features like smartphone alerts when your door opens or closes, the ability to check door status remotely, and automatic closing after a set time. We’ll explain which safety and convenience features make sense for your home and family’s needs.
