First call after a home purchase
Re-keying the opener (clearing prior remotes), inspecting the door, and addressing any deferred maintenance is a good first move in a new house.
Door makes you nervous
If you don't trust the door — odd noises, slow movement, prior repair patches — a diagnostic visit identifies whether to repair or replace.
Want to upgrade smart features
Adding MyQ, HomeKit, or geofencing to an existing opener is usually a 60-minute install if the opener is compatible.
Pre-listing prep
Tune-up, signed inspection report, and any cosmetic fixes ahead of listing photos.
Common causes & what we fix
Aging components
Residential doors see roughly 3 cycles per day on average. Most components hit end-of-life on a predictable schedule, from springs (7–10 years) to openers (12–18 years).
Coastal corrosion
Coastal homes see accelerated corrosion. Galvanized hardware and stainless fasteners extend life.
Vehicle impact
Backing into the door is the single most common cause of structural damage we see at residential properties.
Missed maintenance
Residential doors often go years without service. Lubrication, balance, and sensor alignment are the most common neglected items.
Builder-grade quality
Tract-home builds often use the cheapest opener and lightest-gauge door panels. Upgrades pay back in noise, energy, and longevity.
