You know that sinking feeling when you’re running late and your garage door decides to quit. The motor makes a grinding noise, or worse—complete silence. Now you’re stuck in your driveway, already behind schedule, trying to manually lift a 200-pound door.

A properly installed garage opener changes everything. You pull into your driveway, hit the button, and the door opens smoothly every single time. No grinding, no sticking, no wondering if today’s the day it finally gives up. Just reliable access to your home, exactly when you need it.

That’s what three generations of Great Neck homeowners have gotten from us. Not just a working garage door—peace of mind that it’ll work tomorrow morning too.

Great Neck Garage Door Experts

Nearly 80 Years in Business

Eidelberg Garage Doors has been installing and repairing garage openers since 1945. What started with Maurice Heidelberg has grown into a trusted name across Great Neck, the Five Towns, and Long Island.

We took over in 2011 and built on that foundation of quality work and honest service. We know Great Neck homes—from the historic village properties to the newer developments. We understand how coastal humidity affects garage door hardware and which opener types work best in attached garages near bedrooms.

Most of our work comes from referrals. When your neighbor recommends someone for garage door work, that says something about the quality you can expect.

Garage Opener Installation Process

Here's How We Handle Installation

First, we assess your current setup and garage door type. Heavy wooden doors need different openers than standard aluminum ones. We measure your garage height and check the existing wiring and track condition.

Next comes selecting the right opener. Chain drive for maximum strength and budget-friendly operation. Belt drive for whisper-quiet performance in attached garages. Smart openers with WiFi connectivity so you can check your door status from anywhere. We explain the differences without pushing the most expensive option.

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours. We remove your old opener safely (those springs are under serious tension), install the new motor unit, connect the drive system, program your remotes, and test all safety features. Before we leave, we show you how everything works and answer any questions you have.

Great Neck Garage Door Installation

What's Included With Installation

Every garage opener installation includes the motor unit, drive mechanism (chain, belt, or screw), mounting hardware, safety sensors, wall control panel, and two remote controls. We also include professional programming of all components and a full demonstration of operation.

Great Neck’s coastal location means garage door hardware takes a beating from humidity and salt air. That’s why we use corrosion-resistant components and apply protective treatments where needed. Your opener needs to handle the temperature swings from winter cold to summer heat without losing performance.

Smart opener installations include WiFi setup and smartphone app configuration. You’ll be able to open, close, and monitor your garage door remotely. Get alerts if you forgot to close it, or let service providers in when you’re not home. Battery backup options keep you mobile even during power outages—important for a community that values reliability and security.

How long does garage opener installation take in Great Neck?

Most garage opener installations take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on your garage setup and the type of opener you choose. If you’re replacing an existing opener, the process is usually faster since the basic infrastructure is already in place. For new installations or situations where electrical work is needed, it might take a bit longer. Great Neck homes built in the 1950s sometimes need updated wiring to handle modern smart openers safely. We’ll assess your specific situation during the initial consultation and give you a realistic timeframe. Same-day installation is available for most standard setups. We bring everything needed to complete the job in one visit, so you’re not waiting around for parts or return trips.
It depends on your garage location and priorities. For attached garages near bedrooms or living areas, belt drive openers are the best choice because they operate almost silently. You won’t wake anyone up coming home late or leaving early. Chain drive openers offer maximum strength and durability at a lower cost. They’re perfect for detached garages or when you need to lift heavy wooden doors. The noise isn’t an issue if your garage isn’t connected to living spaces. Smart openers with WiFi connectivity are increasingly popular in Great Neck. You can monitor and control your garage door from anywhere, get alerts if it’s left open, and even let service providers in remotely. Given the community’s tech-savvy residents and security concerns, smart features provide valuable peace of mind.
Most garage opener installations don’t require permits in Great Neck, since you’re typically replacing existing equipment with similar functionality. The electrical connection usually uses the existing outlet that powered your old opener. However, if new electrical circuits need to be run or significant modifications are made to the garage structure, a permit might be required. This is more common in older homes where the electrical system needs updating to handle modern opener requirements safely. We know local code requirements and will advise you if permit applications are needed. We can also handle the paperwork if required, so you don’t have to navigate the process yourself. It’s one less thing to worry about during your installation.
Garage opener installation in Great Neck typically ranges from $400 to $800, depending on the opener type and complexity of your installation. Basic chain drive models start at the lower end, while premium belt drive and smart openers with advanced features cost more. The price includes the opener unit, all mounting hardware, safety sensors, remotes, professional installation, and setup. Additional costs might apply if electrical work is needed or if your garage requires structural modifications to accommodate the new opener. We offer free estimates, so you’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. We can also explain financing options if you prefer to spread the cost over time. Given Great Neck’s median home values, most residents find garage opener installation a worthwhile investment in convenience and home security.
We provide warranties on both the equipment and our installation work. Most garage openers come with manufacturer warranties covering parts and motor for several years. Our installation labor is typically warranted for at least one year. If problems develop, the first step is determining whether it’s a product defect or installation issue. Common post-installation problems include remote programming issues, sensor alignment, or settings that need adjustment. These are usually quick fixes that don’t indicate major problems. For more serious issues, working with a local company makes a big difference. We can respond quickly for warranty service and know your specific installation. This is why many Great Neck residents prefer local installers over big box store services—you get better follow-up support when you need it.
Yes, modern smart garage openers integrate seamlessly with popular home automation systems like Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. You can control your garage door with voice commands, include it in automated routines, and monitor status through your central home app. Smart openers connect to your home WiFi network and provide real-time status updates to your smartphone. You’ll get notifications when the door opens or closes, can check if you forgot to close it from anywhere, and even grant temporary access to visitors or service providers remotely. Installation includes setting up the WiFi connection and configuring the smartphone app. We’ll make sure everything connects properly to your network and walk you through all the smart features. Given Great Neck’s tech-forward community, smart garage openers have become increasingly popular for the convenience and security they provide.
