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.
Signs you need automatic garage door services
Door is currently manual
Lifting a 60–100 pound garage door multiple times a day is a quality-of-life drain. Automation pays back fast in convenience.
Existing automatic opener is unreliable
Intermittent remote response, slow operation, or strain noises indicate the opener is due for service or replacement.
Opener pre-2008
Pre-2008 openers lack rolling-code security and battery backup. Modern replacement is a major upgrade.
Need smart-home integration
Modern automatic openers ship with Wi-Fi and smart-home support out of the box. Older openers need retrofit hubs.
Code compliance gap
Pre-2019 openers lack mandatory battery backup. Replacement brings the system to current code.
Common causes & what we fix
Original manual door never automated
Mid-century and older homes often have original manual doors. Conversion is a popular upgrade.
Opener at end-of-life
Openers from the late 1990s through mid-2000s are now well past design life. Replacement is the right call.
Builder-grade opener too weak
Tract builds use the cheapest opener that meets minimum requirements. Upgrades pay back in noise, reliability, and longevity.
Lost features (no smart-home)
Older openers lack the smart-home integration that's now standard. Upgrade adds the features.
Safety/security concerns
Pre-rolling-code openers are vulnerable to code-grabber attacks. Modern openers fix this.
