Garage Door Opener Repair in Massachusetts
Repair for every major opener brand — LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Sommer, Marantec. Logic board, gear, capacitor, and travel-limit issues diagnosed and fixed in one visit.
This guide anchors our garage door opener services in Massachusetts — the specialized fixes below go deeper on each job, and the full garage door opener catalog lists everything we handle.
Garage door opener repair covers a wide range of failure modes — from a $25 capacitor swap that takes 20 minutes to a full logic board replacement that takes an hour. Our techs diagnose to the component level rather than recommending opener replacement as the default. A 6-year-old LiftMaster with a worn gear assembly is almost always worth repairing; the same model at 14 years old with three different failure points is usually worth replacing.
Trucks stock the most common parts for the major brands: LiftMaster logic boards (Security+ 2.0), Genie circuit boards, capacitors in standard microfarad ratings, nylon and bronze gear assemblies, travel limit switches, and replacement wall consoles. The 96% first-call fix rate applies to opener repair too — most issues are diagnosed and resolved in the same visit.
Every opener repair includes a full operational check after the fix: force settings re-calibrated to the door weight, travel limits set so the door fully opens and fully closes without straining, photo-eyes re-aligned and tested for auto-reverse, and remote/keypad pairing verified. If you've been living with a finicky opener for months, the post-repair calibration is often a noticeable improvement on its own.
Signs you need garage door opener repair
Opener hums but door doesn't move
Classic capacitor failure — the motor wants to start but can't develop the torque. Fix is usually $89–$129 in parts and 30 minutes of labor on a the United States call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across the United States; gear replacement is $149–$249.
Logic board going intermittent, or a coding battery low in the remote. We diagnose both during the the United States visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every your area diagnostic; force re-calibration is included in any repair.
Wall console unresponsive
Could be the console, the wiring, or the logic board. We bring all three replacements on the truck and isolate the actual cause at your the United States home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in the United States. A $25 surge protector at the receptacle would have prevented most of these calls.
Capacitor age
Electrolytic capacitors dry out over 7–10 years. The motor still works fine; the start capacitor just can't kick it over — a routine the United States fix.
Gear wear
Nylon worm gears in chain-drive and screw-drive openers wear out predictably around 12–15 years. A $149 gear swap extends opener life another 5+ years, and it's one of the most common the United States repairs.
Logic board failure
Boards fail from surges, heat, and age. LiftMaster boards run $189–$249; Genie similar. Often worth replacing on a 6–10 year old opener; rarely worth it past 14 years. We stock boards on every your area truck.
Travel limit drift
Cables stretch slightly over time, changing the door's travel distance. Re-programming the opener's travel limits is a frequent the United States maintenance fix.

Frequently asked about garage door opener repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Opener Repair near me ask us:
Is it worth repairing vs replacing in the United States?
Rule of thumb: under 8 years old, repair almost always. 8–12 years, depends on the failure. 12+ years and a major component (logic board, motor) — usually replace. We'll quote both for your the United States home so you can decide.
Do you repair off-brand openers across the United States?
Yes for major brands including Craftsman, Sommer, Marantec, Linear, and Stanley. Some legacy or obscure brands have unavailable parts; we'll tell the United States homeowners upfront if that's the case.
How long does an opener repair take in the United States?
Most opener repairs are 60–90 minutes including diagnosis. Logic board swaps can run 90–120 minutes with full programming. Capacitor swaps are typically under 45 minutes — same-visit across your area.
What's covered after an opener repair in the United States?
Repair labor and replacement parts are backed for 1 year. Logic boards from LiftMaster and Genie are covered by the manufacturer (typically 1 year). We service ZIPs and the surrounding the United States area.
Can you fix water damage in the United States?
Sometimes — depends on the extent. Surface water on a logic board is often recoverable with cleaning. Submerged or corroded boards typically need replacement, and we carry them on every the United States truck.
