Question 1

Can you repair my LiftMaster, Chamberlain, or Genie opener?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we repair all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, and Marantec. Belt drive, chain drive, and screw drive systems are all in scope.

Question 2

My opener motor runs but the door won't move. What's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Usually a stripped opener gear, a snapped trolley, or a disengaged emergency release. Less commonly, a broken spring is masking as an opener issue (the opener can't lift the door alone). We'll diagnose on site for free.

Question 3

How much does it cost to replace a garage door opener?

Accepted Answer

A new mid-range smart opener installed runs $500–$750 CAD. Heavier or commercial-rated models cost more. Repairs to an existing opener typically run $150–$300.

Question 4

Should I repair or replace my opener?

Accepted Answer

Rule of thumb: if it's under 8 years old, repair. If it's 12+ years old or you're calling for a second time, replace — newer smart openers are quieter, safer (rolling-code security), and pay back in convenience.
