Garage Door Opener Repair in Houston — Every Brand, Every Type
The remote clicks but nothing happens. The motor hums but the door won't move. We've seen every opener problem there is — and we fix them fast.
What We Repair
Motor & Drive Issues
Stripped gears, burned-out motors, worn belt/chain — the mechanical problems that stop your opener cold.
Circuit Board & Logic Failures
Power surges, lightning strikes, and age kill circuit boards. We replace main boards and reprogram settings.
Remote & Keypad Problems
Remotes that won't sync, keypads that stopped responding, range issues. Quick reprogram or receiver replacement.
Safety Sensor Issues
Door reverses for no reason? Won't close? Photo-eye sensors are probably misaligned, dirty, or damaged.
Smart Home Integration
Want to open your garage from your phone? We install and configure Wi-Fi-enabled openers and myQ systems.
Gear Replacement
Stripped gears that cause grinding noises replaced with OEM parts for reliable operation.

Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide
Repair makes sense when:
- • The opener is less than 10 years old
- • The problem is a specific part (gear, board, sensor)
- • The door itself is in good shape
Replace makes sense when:
- • The opener is 12+ years old
- • You want a quiet belt drive or smart features
- • Repair costs exceed 50% of a new unit
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my garage door opener running but the door isn't moving?
Most likely a stripped gear inside the opener. The motor spins but can't transfer power to the drive mechanism. This is a common repair — we replace the gear assembly on-site.
My opener works with the wall button but not the remote. What's wrong?
The remote may need reprogramming, new batteries, or the antenna on the opener unit could be damaged. If multiple remotes stopped working, it's usually the receiver board.
How long do garage door openers last?
10-15 years with normal use. Houston heat can shorten that — openers in non-insulated garages that hit 130°F+ in summer work harder and die sooner.
Should I repair or replace a noisy opener?
If it's a chain drive and the noise bothers you, no amount of repair will make it quiet. Upgrading to a belt drive is the real fix — and the price difference vs. a major chain drive repair is often small.
