Types of Garage Door Openers We Install

Belt Drive Openers
Belt drive openers are the quietest option available, making them ideal for homes with living spaces above or adjacent to the garage. They use a rubber belt to lift the door smoothly and quietly. Perfect for those who value peace and quiet.

Chain Drive Openers
Chain drive openers are the most economical and durable option. They use a metal chain to operate the door and are known for their reliability and longevity. Best for detached garages or when noise is not a concern.

Screw Drive Openers
Screw drive openers have fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance. They use a threaded steel rod to move the door. These are reliable and work well in various climates.

Smart WiFi Openers
Smart garage door openers connect to your home WiFi network, allowing you to control and monitor your garage door from anywhere using your smartphone. Receive alerts when your door opens or closes, and integrate with smart home systems.
