Back to Normal in One Visit

Your garage door opener breaks at the worst possible moment. You’re running late, it’s pouring rain, or you’re coming home after a long day and the door just won’t budge.

When that happens, you need someone who actually knows what they’re doing. Not someone who’s going to show up, scratch their head, and tell you it needs to be replaced when it probably just needs a $50 part.

We’ve been fixing garage openers since 1945. Motors, springs, cables, keypads, remotes, sensors—we’ve seen every problem twice and know exactly what needs to happen to get your door working right again.

Trusted Garage Door Experts

Nearly 80 Years in Port Washington

Eidelberg Garage Doors started in 1945 and we’ve been serving Port Washington families ever since. That’s not marketing speak—that’s four generations of homeowners who’ve trusted us with their garage door problems.

We built our reputation the old-fashioned way: by doing good work and treating people right. Most of our business comes from referrals, which tells you everything you need to know about how we operate.

Port Washington homeowners deal with everything from salt air affecting their garage door components to the freeze-thaw cycles that can throw springs and tracks out of alignment. We know these local challenges and stock the parts you’re most likely to need.

Garage Opener Repair Process

Straight Talk About What's Wrong

First, we show up when we say we will. Then we actually diagnose the problem instead of just telling you everything needs to be replaced.

We’ll check your motor, test your springs, look at your cables, and examine your safety sensors. Most garage opener problems come down to one or two specific components that have worn out or gotten knocked out of alignment.

Once we know what’s wrong, we explain it in plain English and tell you exactly what it’ll cost to fix. No surprises, no upselling, no pressure. If it’s a simple fix, we’ll tell you. If your opener has reached the end of its useful life, we’ll tell you that too.

Most repairs get done the same day. We carry the common parts in our trucks because we know what breaks most often in Port Washington.

Complete Garage Opener Solutions

Every Component, Every Brand

We work on all the parts that make your garage door opener actually open your garage door. Motors that have burned out, springs that have snapped, cables that have frayed, keypads that don’t respond, remotes that quit working, and sensors that have gotten bumped out of place.

Port Washington’s coastal location means salt air gets into everything, and the temperature swings we get here can be hard on garage door components. We see a lot of corroded springs and cables that need replacement, plus motors that work harder than they should because other parts aren’t moving smoothly.

We stock parts for all the major brands—LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Genie—and we know the common failure points for each one. That means we can usually fix your problem without having to order parts and come back later.

First-time customers get 10% off their repair. Not because we’re desperate for business, but because we’re confident you’ll be happy enough with our work to call us again when you need us.

How much does garage door opener repair cost in Port Washington?

Most garage opener repairs in Port Washington run between $150 and $400, depending on what’s actually wrong. A simple remote replacement might cost $50, while a motor replacement could be $300-400. We give you an exact price before we start any work. No hourly rates, no surprise charges, no “we’ll see what we find” pricing. You know what you’re paying before we touch anything. The key is getting the problem diagnosed correctly the first time. A lot of expensive “repairs” are actually just one small part that’s failed, but you need someone who knows how to find it.

Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?

If your opener is less than 10 years old and this is the first major problem, repair almost always makes sense. If you’re dealing with the second or third expensive repair on an older unit, replacement starts to make more financial sense. We’ll be straight with you about this. If your opener has good years left, we’ll fix it. If it’s time to move on, we’ll tell you that too. We’re not in the business of selling you things you don’t need. Most of the garage openers we work on in Port Washington just need one component replaced or adjusted. Motors can last 15-20 years if the other parts are working properly and not making the motor work harder than it should.

Why does my garage door opener work sometimes but not others?

Intermittent problems usually point to electrical issues, worn limit switches, or safety sensors that are dirty or misaligned. Sometimes it’s as simple as a loose wire connection that works when it’s warm but fails when it’s cold. Port Washington’s humidity and salt air can cause corrosion in electrical connections. We see this a lot—everything looks fine from the outside, but there’s a corroded connection somewhere that’s causing intermittent failures. The good news is these problems are usually straightforward to fix once you know where to look. The bad news is they tend to get worse over time, so it’s better to address them sooner rather than later.

How long do garage door opener repairs take?

Most repairs take 1-2 hours once we arrive and diagnose the problem. Simple fixes like replacing a remote or adjusting sensors might take 30 minutes. More involved repairs like motor or spring replacement usually take 2-3 hours. We carry common parts in our service trucks, so we can usually complete repairs the same day without having to come back. If we need to order a part, we’ll tell you upfront and give you a realistic timeline. The diagnosis itself usually takes 15-20 minutes. We test all the components systematically so we know exactly what’s causing the problem before we start any repair work.

Do you service all garage door opener brands?

Yes, we work on all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Genie, Linear, and others. We’ve been doing this long enough to know the common problems with each brand and what parts they typically need. Some older or discontinued models can be trickier to find parts for, but we have good relationships with suppliers and can usually track down what you need. In rare cases where parts aren’t available, we’ll discuss your replacement options. The mechanical principles are the same regardless of brand. Motors, springs, cables, and sensors all work basically the same way, even if the specific parts are different.

What should I do if my garage door opener stops working completely?

First, check if the power is on and the remote has fresh batteries. If those aren’t the problem, look for a red emergency release cord hanging from the opener—pull it to disconnect the door from the motor so you can open it manually. Don’t try to force the door open if it won’t move easily. If the springs are broken, the door will be extremely heavy and could cause injury. Same goes for trying to adjust anything yourself—garage door springs are under tremendous tension. Call us and we’ll walk you through some basic troubleshooting over the phone. If it’s something simple, we might be able to save you a service call. If not, we’ll schedule a time to come take a look and get it fixed right.
