Complete Garage Opener Repair Services Jericho

We Fix Every Type of Opener Problem

Our garage opener repair covers everything that can go wrong with your system. Broken motors, worn-out springs, faulty sensors, dead remotes, damaged cables—we handle it all.

In Jericho’s older homes, we often see opener motors that are simply worn out from decades of use. Many of these homes were built in the 1960s, and their garage systems need professional attention to keep working safely.

We also repair the small but crucial components like keypads, wall switches, and safety sensors that prevent accidents. Every repair comes with our commitment to get it right the first time, so you’re not calling us back next week with the same problem.

How do I know if my garage opener motor needs to be replaced?

If your opener makes grinding noises but the door doesn’t move, or if it runs but struggles to lift the door, your motor might be failing. However, many homeowners assume they need a new motor when the real problem is a broken drive gear or worn springs. We always test the motor first by checking if it runs smoothly without load. If the motor itself is fine, we can often fix the problem by replacing the drive gear, adjusting the springs, or repairing the chain or belt system. A truly dead motor won’t respond at all when you press the wall button or remote. Even then, we check the power supply and circuit breaker before recommending a replacement, because the motor might just need a simple electrical repair.

Why does my garage door opener work intermittently?

Intermittent operation usually points to one of three issues: dying remote batteries, misaligned safety sensors, or a motor that’s overheating. Start by replacing your remote batteries, even if they seem fine. Next, check the safety sensors at the bottom of your door tracks. If one light is blinking or off, something is blocking the beam or the sensors are misaligned. Clean the sensor lenses and make sure nothing is obstructing the beam between them. If the opener works fine for several cycles then stops responding, your motor might be overheating due to worn internal components. This is common in older openers that have been working hard for many years. We can diagnose this by checking the motor’s temperature and internal components during operation.

Can you repair garage openers in older Jericho homes?

Absolutely. Many Jericho homes were built in the 1960s and have garage openers that are 15-20 years old or more. We specialize in repairing these older systems and keeping them running safely. Older openers often need drive gear replacements, spring adjustments, or electrical updates to work with modern safety standards. We carry parts for most major brands, including discontinued models that other companies can’t service. Sometimes we recommend upgrading certain components for safety reasons, like adding modern safety sensors to older openers that didn’t come with them. But we’ll always explain your options and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.

How long does a typical garage opener repair take?

Most garage opener repairs take 1-2 hours to complete. Simple fixes like replacing a drive gear, adjusting springs, or installing a new remote can be done in under an hour. More complex repairs, like replacing a motor or fixing electrical issues, might take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts in our truck, so we can usually complete the repair in one visit rather than making you wait for parts to be ordered. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling. If your opener fails and you can’t get your car out of the garage, we’ll work to get you a same-day appointment. We understand that a broken garage opener disrupts your entire day, especially when you need to get to work or have other commitments.

What's included in your garage opener repair service?

Every repair includes a complete diagnosis of your opener system, not just the obvious problem. We test the motor, inspect the springs and cables, check all safety features, and make sure your door is properly balanced. We also program new remotes, adjust travel limits and force settings, and lubricate all moving parts as needed. If we find other issues that could cause problems soon, we’ll point them out but never pressure you to fix everything at once. Our repair comes with a service guarantee. If the same problem happens again within our warranty period, we’ll come back and make it right at no additional charge. We also offer a 10% discount for first-time customers who want to try our service.

Do you provide emergency garage opener repair in Jericho?

Yes, we provide same-day emergency service when your garage opener fails unexpectedly. We understand that a broken opener can trap your car in the garage or leave your home unsecured. Emergency situations include openers that won’t respond at all, doors that are stuck halfway open, or safety issues like broken springs that make the door dangerous to operate. We prioritize these calls and work to get a technician to your Jericho home as quickly as possible. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule appointments within 24-48 hours. But if you’re stuck without access to your garage, just let us know when you call and we’ll do everything possible to get you back up and running the same day.
