Reliable Garage Door Services repairs and installs garage door openers across Hampton Roads, servicing LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie units 24/7, and if a $30 part fixes your opener we fit the part instead of selling you a new machine.
Half the "broken opener" calls we take are nothing of the sort. A door with a snapped spring or dragging rollers makes the opener strain, stall and trip its safety reverse. Replacing the opener on top of a bad door fixes nothing.
So we start every opener call by pulling the release cord and moving the door by hand. If the door itself is heavy or rough, the door gets fixed first and the opener usually turns out to be fine.
Broken door right now? Call 757-208-1600 any hour and get your price before we roll.
Stripped drive gears, worn trolleys, failed logic boards, misaligned safety sensors and dead remotes are all specific repairs with price tags far below a new unit. If your opener is under roughly ten years old and the motor is sound, repair deserves a look.
You see the failed part in your hand before we replace it, and the price is agreed before the work happens.
Want a number, not a sales pitch? Call 757-208-1600 and we quote it on the phone where we can.
Openers older than 15 years predate modern safety standards and rolling-code remotes. If the motor is failing, the rail is obsolete or parts are discontinued, we say so and quote a new unit plainly.
The 2026 market range for a new opener installed, unit and labor, is $220 - $700. Chain drives sit at the value end, belt drives run quieter for rooms above the garage, and smart units add phone control and camera options. We quote our exact number before anything comes off the truck.

A new opener is only as good as its setup: rail height, force limits, travel limits, sensor alignment at the legal height, and a balance check on the door it has to move. Our installs finish with a documented safety reverse test.

There is a surprising amount to know about garage doors. Call any time, or start here. More answers live on the full FAQ page.
A humming opener usually means the motor runs but a stripped gear or broken trolley is not passing the motion on. Both are repairable parts on most units, priced well below replacement.
Blocked or misaligned safety sensors are the most common cause, followed by force limits set wrong or a binding door. Each has a specific fix and none of them requires guessing.
LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie. We match drive type to your garage: chain for value, belt for quiet, jackshaft for tight ceilings or storage-heavy garages.
Often yes. Many openers from the last 15 years accept add-on smart controllers, and we tell you on the phone whether yours is one of them before any visit.
