Automatic garage door services cover the full range of motorized door work — installing an opener on a previously manual door, upgrading an aging automatic system to current tech, and providing service and maintenance to keep automatic doors running reliably. Older homes often still have manual doors (lift by hand, secure with a slide bolt); conversion to automatic is one of the highest-impact daily-life upgrades possible — no more getting out of the car in the rain, no more lifting an 80-pound door from the floor.
A typical manual-to-automatic conversion includes: opener motor, opener rail, two remotes, exterior keypad, wall console with light, photo-eye safety sensors, battery backup (required by code in several states, e.g. California’s SB-969), and smart-hub integration. We size the opener to the door weight (1/2, 3/4, or 1.25 HPS) and verify the door is in good enough shape to motorize — heavily neglected doors may need spring or cable service before motorizing safely.
Existing automatic doors get the full service treatment: lubrication, opener tune-up, sensor realignment, remote programming, smart-feature setup, and any worn-component replacement. We handle every major brand from LiftMaster and Genie down to Sommer, Marantec, and Linear.
