What's Included in Your Installation

Every garage opener installation includes professional assessment of your door’s weight and balance, proper mounting of the motor unit, and installation of safety sensors that meet current safety codes. We program all remotes and keypads, test the force settings, and ensure everything operates smoothly.

For Mineola homeowners, we recommend belt-drive openers if you have living space above your garage—they’re significantly quieter than chain drives during operation. We also install battery backup systems so your garage opener works even during power outages, which is especially valuable during Long Island’s occasional severe weather events.

All installations come with manufacturer warranties on parts and our own labor warranty. We also provide maintenance tips to help your automatic door opener last its full 15-year lifespan without major repairs.

How long does garage opener installation take in Mineola?

Most garage opener installations take 2-4 hours depending on your specific setup. If we’re replacing an old opener, we include removal of the old unit in that timeframe.The process involves mounting the motor unit to your garage ceiling, installing the rail system, connecting the door arm, and setting up safety sensors. We also program your remotes and test all safety features before we’re done.If your garage needs electrical work or structural modifications, that can add time to the project.

What type of garage opener is best for Mineola homes?

For most Mineola homes, we recommend belt-drive automatic door openers because they’re much quieter than chain drives. This is especially important if you have bedrooms above or adjacent to your garage.The horsepower depends on your door’s weight and size. Most single garage doors need 1/2 horsepower, while double doors typically require 3/4 horsepower. Heavier doors made of wood or with decorative hardware need more power.We also recommend models with battery backup since Long Island occasionally experiences power outages. Smart garage openers that connect to your phone are becoming popular because you can check if you closed your garage door from anywhere.

Do you install safety sensors with every garage opener?

Yes, safety sensors are required by law on all garage door openers manufactured after 1993. These sensors create an invisible beam across your garage opening about 6 inches from the floor.If anything breaks that beam while your door is closing—a child, pet, or object—the door immediately stops and reverses to the fully open position. This prevents serious injuries and property damage.We position the sensors properly and test them multiple times during installation. We also show you how to keep them clean and aligned so they continue working properly for years to come.

Can you install an opener on my existing garage door?

A garage door opener won’t work correctly on a door that’s not balanced—it can damage the opener motor and create safety hazards.We’ll assess your door during our free estimate and let you know if any repairs are needed before we can install your new automatic door opener. Sometimes minor adjustments are all that’s required.
