Do We Install Garage Door Openers?
Yes, we do! We typically stock LiftMaster Garage Door Openers, Genie Garage Door Openers, and SOMMER Garage Door Openers. However, we don’t carry all models for these manufacturers. We’ve tested different garage door opener models and can recommend the right garage door opener to you based on your needs. Learn more about the particular models we install on our Garage Door Openers product page.
We also install Clopay garage door openers, Lowes garage door openers, and Home Depot garage door openers. We work with all the major brands and manufacturers to ensure we get you the best new garage door opener for a great price.
How Much Do Garage Door Openers Cost?
Garage door opener installation cost by a professional is around $250-500. Of course, this price will depend on the type and brand of garage door opener you choose. For example, chain drive garage door openers tend to be the most affordable, while belt and jackshaft garage door opener options are more expensive. Also, although they are on the higher end, we recommend belt drive garage door openers to maximize the life expectancy of your garage door opener.
How Long Do Garage Door Openers Last?
Homeowners often ask us how long garage door openers last. The life span varies, but I want to give some context before we jump into the specifics. Almost everything on a garage door including the motor is measured by cycle life. A cycle is one full open and close of the garage door. The more you open and close your garage door, the shorter the life of your garage door opener will be. However, in recent years homeowners have been entering through their garage door more often than using their front door, quickening that life cycle.
During my time owning Aaron Overhead Doors, I’ve found that there are a few current garage door opener manufacturers that tend to last longer than others. For example, the LiftMaster Garage Door Opener has an excellent reputation due to its low maintenance needs and long-lasting qualities. Another variable to consider when determining the life span of your garage door opener is the garage door opener installation. Even a great motor can live a short life if it isn’t installed properly or if the garage door springs aren’t performing properly. This is because the garage door springs are the counterbalance system for the garage door, doing the heavy lifting, while the motor guides the garage door through the tracks.
So, the question was this: How long do garage door openers last? We see LiftMaster Garage Door Openers last between 15-20 years. However, that’s openers that are in excellent condition. Anything less than excellent conditions can reduce the lifespan to 8-12 years. We recommend belt drive garage door openers for these types of expectations on life expectancy. Wall mount garage door openers and side mount garage door openers are also known for their longevity and reliability.

What are the different types of garage door openers?
Chain Drive Garage Door Opener
A chain drive garage door opener is the most common and affordable type of garage door opener. It operates on a chain that connects the trolley to a motor. However, since most of the parts are metal, it has a very noisy operation due to all the vibration. This means it isn’t a great option if you have a room above or beside the garage. But if you are looking for a simple system that gets the job done, this could be the best garage door opener installation choice for you.
Belt Drive Garage Door Opener
Instead of a chain, this garage door opener operates on a rubber belt. This makes them a great smooth-motion alternative to the noisier chain drive. In fact, belt drive is known for being one of the quietest garage door opener options. They are also longer-lasting because the lack of frequent vibrations reduces the need for repairs. Our LiftMaster Garage Door Opener line features several options for belt drive garage door openers which you can view here.
Screw Drive Garage Door Opener
For this opener, a trolley moves along a threaded steel rod while the motor rotates the rod in order to open and close the door. This type of opener tends to land as the midrange option between chain and belt drive openers in terms of quiet operation and longevity. However, we tend to recommend replacing this type of opener with an updated model.
Jackshaft Garage Door Opener
This is one of the more modern options for garage door openers. They are also known as wall mount garage door openers or side mount garage door openers. Instead of being installed on the ceiling like most openers, a jackshaft garage door opener is placed on the wall beside the garage door. It is a great option if you have a high ceiling and want a high lift track or if you want to install storage on the ceiling of your garage. However, a jackshaft garage door opener is more expensive than most other openers and doesn’t fit every garage door system.
Direct Drive Garage Door Opener
This features a stationary chain inside a steel rail with only one moving part located in the traveling motor carriage. This mechanism makes it the quietest opener available. Additionally, the motor for direct drive openers comes with a lifetime warranty which means you can trust its long-term functionality. Our SOMMER operator features this type of drive.
High Lift
A high lift track is a great option if you have taller ceilings and need extra room. For these tracks, our technicians will install extra attachments in order to bring your radius up. This allows the garage door to sit closer to the ceiling and gives you a larger clearance space. With this specialized track, you can move larger vehicles and store cars or equipment on a lift. This is a great option for a new garage door opener installation option if you want to upgrade the functionality of your garage. We can also upgrade these specialty tracks with a wall mount garage door opener or side mount garage door opener for maximum lifting power.
Vertical Lift
Vertical lift tracks operate similarly to high lift tracks but allow your garage door to sit even higher. Like the name sounds, these tracks lift your garage door straight up so that it rests completely out of the way when not in use. In fact, it will sit straight and slightly back against the wall when in the upward position. This type of garage door track works best for a business with very high ceilings. Although this can be a tricky process for garage door opener installation, our expert garage door service professionals can get the job done right for you. Also with vertical lift tracks, we can recommend the best wall mount garage door openers and side mount garage door openers to ensure the reliability of your entire garage door system.
