Your garage door opener breaks at the worst possible time. Monday morning when you’re already running late. Sunday night when you’re coming home with groceries. The weekend when your car is trapped inside and you have places to be.

We get it. That’s why we stock our trucks with the most common opener parts and keep same-day appointments available. Most opener replacements take 2-3 hours, and you’re back to pushing a button instead of wrestling with a 200-pound door.

No more embarrassing manual cranking in front of the neighbors. No more wondering if your 15-year-old opener will work tomorrow. Just reliable access to your garage, every single time.

West Hempstead Garage Door Company

Nearly 80 Years of Getting Doors Right

Eidelberg Garage Doors started in 1945 when Maurice Heidelberg opened shop. Shai and his partner took over in 2011, but our commitment stayed the same: fix it right the first time.

We’ve been serving West Hempstead families for decades. We know the Cape Cod and Colonial homes in this area, built mostly in the 1950s, and we understand how garage door systems age in Long Island’s climate. Your neighbors recommend us because we show up when we say we will and we don’t try to sell you things you don’t need.

Most of our business comes from referrals. That tells you something about how we treat people.

Garage Door Opener Replacement Process

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we diagnose what’s actually wrong. Sometimes your opener just needs a $20 part instead of full replacement. If you do need a new opener, we’ll explain why and show you options that make sense for your budget and needs.

We disconnect your old opener safely, then install the new unit with proper wiring and safety features. Every installation includes programming your remotes, testing all safety sensors, and making sure the door balance is correct. We clean up completely and walk you through how everything works.

Before we leave, we test the opener multiple times and program any additional remotes you need. You get a warranty on parts and labor, plus our phone number for any questions later.

Modern Garage Openers West Hempstead

Today's Openers Actually Work Better

New garage door openers are quieter, safer, and more reliable than what you had 15 years ago. Belt-drive models run almost silently – important in West Hempstead’s close-knit neighborhoods where your garage shares a wall with your neighbor’s bedroom.

Smart openers let you check if you closed the garage from anywhere, get alerts if someone opens it, and even turn on lights automatically. Battery backup systems keep working during power outages, which happen more often on Long Island than people like to admit.

We install LiftMaster, Genie, and Chamberlain openers – the brands that actually last. Each comes with rolling code technology that makes it nearly impossible for someone to copy your signal and break in. Installation includes proper safety sensor alignment and force adjustment, so your opener stops if something gets in the way.

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

If your opener is making new grinding or screeching noises, working intermittently, or vibrating excessively, it might need replacement. Openers over 15 years old that require frequent repairs are usually better replaced than fixed again.However, many problems that seem like opener failures are actually simple fixes. Dead remote batteries, misaligned safety sensors, or disconnected power can all make your opener appear broken. We always diagnose the actual problem first and give you honest options – repair when possible, replacement when it makes sense.
Chain drive openers use a metal chain to lift your door and typically cost less upfront. They’re reliable and strong, but they make more noise during operation. Belt drive openers use a reinforced rubber belt instead of a chain, running much quieter.For West Hempstead homes where garages often share walls with living spaces, belt drive openers are usually worth the extra cost. The noise difference is significant – chain drives sound like a truck starting up, while belt drives are barely audible from inside the house.
Most opener replacements take 2-3 hours from start to finish. This includes safely removing your old opener, installing the new unit with proper wiring, programming all remotes, and testing the complete system multiple times.If we need to run new wiring or make electrical updates, it might take longer. We’ll let you know upfront if your installation will require extra time. We always clean up completely and make sure you understand how to operate your new opener before we leave.
Most modern garage door openers can be equipped with battery backup systems that keep working when the power goes out. The backup battery typically provides enough power for several complete door cycles, so you’re not trapped in or out of your garage.Battery backup is especially important on Long Island, where storm-related power outages are common. We recommend backup systems for all our West Hempstead customers, particularly if your garage is your primary home entrance or if you have medical equipment that requires reliable access.
Yes, most new garage door openers offer smartphone connectivity through Wi-Fi. You can open and close your door from anywhere, receive alerts when the door is used, and check if you remembered to close it after leaving home.Smart openers also let you give temporary access to delivery drivers or service people without handing out physical remotes. Some models integrate with home automation systems and can turn lights on automatically when you arrive home. The convenience factor is significant, especially for busy West Hempstead families.
New garage door openers typically come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 1-5 years on the motor and parts, depending on the brand and model. Our installation work is separately warranted for one year, covering any issues related to wiring, mounting, or adjustment.We use quality brands like LiftMaster and Genie that stand behind their products. If something goes wrong during the warranty period, we handle the manufacturer communication and repair work for you. Keep your receipt and warranty information in a safe place – you’ll need it if service is required later.
