Garage Door Openers

We received a call last week from a Cincinnati area resident and they asked if we would remove their old garage door opener and install one that they had purchased themselves.

It’s actually a very common call – almost weekly in fact.

The answer is, yes, we can take care of that for you.

There are a few units that we will not install because they are low quality and problematic. So please call (513) 821-5095 with the make and model of the unit. We can get you pricing at that time.

If you’re looking for a quiet, dependable garage door opener in Cincinnati that works with homelink systems in newer cars and with smartphones, like the iphone and android-type phones, we carry and install the Liftmaster 8355 and 8550.

Both are fine choices.

If you need a price on a new garage door, give us a call at (513) 821-5095, and we’ll get you a no-hassle price.

As long as your garage door is in good shape, you should not have to replace the entire door to replace an I-drive opener with a standard rail unit.

I’d recommend a service visit just so we can evaluate how the opener was installed because neither one of us want a surprise.

If you have an older Wayne Dalton iDrive Garage Door Opener and live in the Cincinnati area, give us a call at (513) 821-5095.

That’s a tough question. Garage door openers usually last about 10-20 years, depending on the frequency of use, and upkeep.

In the Cincinnati area, gear replacement service usually runs about 50% of the cost of a new unit, so you’ll have to make the decision.

If the family budget is tight, repairing the garage door opener is usually best, unless the unit is approaching the end of it’s life-cycle. Then it’s best to replace it.

If you have an issue with a Craftsman opener, give us a call at (513) 821-5095.

Like most products, there are many different models and quality levels to choose from. So if you choose the “Cadillac” model, the cost for that model is higher than if you choose the “Yugo” model.

Also, the right garage door opener for you depends greatly on the door that it is installed on, and the amount of use it will get.

For example, a lightweight single door on a detached garage that opens to get the lawnmower out once a week, will not get near the use of the attached double car garage that houses 2 cars, the kids bikes and toys… and the lawnmower.

So think of it this way – the larger and heavier the door, the more powerful garage door opener you’ll need.

In the Cincinnati area, to get a new or replacement garage door opener installed (a good “middle of the road” unit that most homeowners choose), usually goes for about $300.00-$350.00, which includes basic assembly and installation.

Keep in mind that if you have a home with a unique garage, for example, very high ceilings, the cost is slightly higher.

If you’re needing a replacement, give us a call at (513) 821-5095 to schedule a no-pressure, no hassle visit so we can give you an exact price, and not spend a penny more than you have too.

We receive calls all the time where folks tell us they are having issues with the safety beams. They indicate they have hit the remote 2 or 3 times, or hold the remote button down to override the safety beam and shut the door.

After repeatedly doing that, the garage door opener eventually stops working. The motor runs but the garage door will not open or close.

We usually find that there is relation between the safety beams not working properly and the opener eventually quitting. So it’s best to have someone look at the system.

If you’re garage door opener does not work, give us a call at (513) 821-5095.
