Licensed & insured

An opener that hums, clicks, runs without moving the door, or works only when it feels like it is one of the most common calls we take. Sometimes it is a $30 gear. Sometimes it is a logic board. And fairly often it is not the opener at all but a door that has become too heavy because a spring failed, which is why we always test the door balance before we blame the motor.

We repair and replace LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Linear and Overhead Door openers. When a replacement makes more sense, we install belt-drive, chain-drive, direct-drive and wall-mount units, most with built-in Wi-Fi, battery backup and a camera option.

Sound familiar?

Opener hums but nothing moves

Stripped main drive gear (very common on older Chamberlain and LiftMaster units) or a seized motor.

Remote works sometimes

Weak remote battery, worn logic board, or radio interference from a new LED bulb.

Door reverses right away

Force setting too low, travel limits drifted, or a binding door.

Grinding, chain slapping

Loose chain, worn sprocket or a trolley that is coming apart.

Light blinks, door won't close

Safety sensor misaligned, dirty, or the wire was nicked.

Opener is more than 15 years old

No rolling-code security, no battery backup, parts getting scarce. Replacement is usually the wise move.

Questions we get asked

Should I repair or replace my garage door opener?

If the unit is under 10 years old and needs a gear, sensor or remote, repair it. If it is over 15 years old, lacks rolling-code security, or needs a logic board, a new opener with Wi-Fi and battery backup usually costs only a little more than the repair and comes with a fresh warranty.

Which garage door opener brand is best?

We install LiftMaster most often because the parts supply and reliability are excellent in this area. Chamberlain is the same company's retail line. Genie makes a good value unit. What matters more is matching the drive type to your garage: belt drive if there is a bedroom above, chain drive for a detached garage, wall-mount if you want the ceiling clear.

Can you install an opener I bought online?

Yes. We charge a flat installation fee. We will tell you up front if the unit is undersized for your door.

Do you program remotes and keypads?

Yes, including the HomeLink buttons in your car. We can also add remotes on the spot.

Spring snapped on a Sunday morning and a tech was at the house before noon. He showed me the worn part, replaced both springs, and the door is quieter than it has been in years.
Rachel M. · Newton CentreGoogle
We had three quotes for a new double door. M&A was not the cheapest, but they were the only ones who measured the opening and explained the insulation rating. Installed in one afternoon.
David K. · WellesleyGoogle
Opener died the week we listed the house. They matched the remote to the new unit, programmed the keypad, and cleaned up the old hardware without being asked.
Priya S. · BrooklineGoogle
Door came off track after my son backed into it. They straightened the track, replaced two rollers and the bottom panel. Honest about what could be saved.
Tom & Laura B. · NeedhamGoogle
Called at 10:30 at night because the door was stuck open and it was snowing. Someone actually picked up. Fixed the cable by midnight.
Marcus J. · WalthamGoogle
Annual tune-up. Lubricated everything, adjusted the opener force, and told me the springs had maybe a year left. No pressure to replace them that day.
Ellen R. · NatickGoogle
Opener motor was grinding for weeks before it finally quit. New belt-drive unit installed same day, and it's whisper quiet now compared to the old chain drive.
James O. · WatertownGoogle
Torsion spring let go with a bang while I was in the driveway. Called around 8am, tech was there by 11 with the right size spring already on the truck.
Linda P. · CambridgeGoogle
Replaced our old wood door with an insulated steel one. They measured twice, explained the R-value difference, and the install crew cleaned up better than I expected.
Carlos M. · FraminghamGoogle
Door came off the track after a branch fell on it during a storm. Tech realigned the track and swapped two bent rollers in under an hour.
Susan W. · LexingtonGoogle
Door was so loud it woke the baby every time. Turned out to be worn rollers and a dry chain. Lubed everything and replaced the rollers, and now it's almost silent.
Brian K. · DedhamGoogle
Keypad stopped accepting the code after a power outage. Tech reprogrammed it on the spot and showed me how to reset it myself next time.
Nancy F. · BelmontGoogle
We run a small auto shop and the roll-up door jammed halfway through the morning. They got someone out within two hours so we weren't losing a full day.
Anthony R. · ArlingtonGoogle
Cable snapped and the door was hanging crooked. They replaced both cables and the drums, not just the one that broke, so it wouldn't happen again on the other side.
Karen L. · WestonGoogle
Backed the car into the bottom panel. They matched the paint almost exactly and had a replacement panel in stock, no waiting on a special order.
Mike D. · QuincyGoogle
Door froze stuck halfway open during that cold snap in January. Someone came out that same night and got us closed up and secure.
Diane C. · SudburyGoogle
Scheduled a routine tune-up and the tech caught a spring that was close to failing before it became an emergency. Glad he checked instead of just oiling the tracks.
Robert V. · MiltonGoogle
New smart opener with the phone app. Tech walked me through setup and made sure it connected to WiFi before he left, not just a quick install and gone.
Patricia N. · NorwoodGoogle
My own fault, clipped the door with the mirror backing out. They gave me an honest price up front and didn't try to upsell a whole new door when a panel swap would do.
Frank E. · WoburnGoogle
We've been on their annual maintenance plan for three years. Never had a breakdown since we started, and they always call ahead before the appointment.
