GARAGE DOORS EXPERT

We take many things for granted in life, or something that we assume will always be there when needed. When talking about garage door components, this can seem an odd topic to broach, but the reality is, when your garage door opener fails, it could cause more than just a nuisance for a few minutes of access or exit. If not resolved, your broken garage door opener can result in ensuing damage to your car, your garage construction, and the garage door itself.

How costly could it be? 

Consider the overall cost of your automatic garage door to begin with. Conservatively, an average cost of a mid-rate door alone can be $1500.00 to $2000.00 and more if you have a double or triple door garage. Then compare that to a new garage door opener which, again, mid-range is priced out between $100.00 to just over $400.00 depending on belt, chain, screw, or direct drive assembly. Finally, if your garage door opener needs repair or repurchase, doesn’t it make sense to not delay either process to avoid having to replace the garage door as well?

Under the age-old category, “What is cheaper? A repair or replacement?” what can you, as a consumer, expect? Now, the best answer anyone always wants to hear is “A brand new system is cheaper.” or “The repair is minor and can be fixed in no time flat.” The real test is how true your professional service team is to their word and how truthful they are to you.

Can you count on budgeting with an initial assessment of damage?

Your car mechanic will often hear symptom descriptions of “it sounds like a knocking under the hood” only so often before he says, “I really can’t pinpoint the problem without running a diagnostic.” The same applies to a truly professional assessment and quote from the trusted, attentive, and knowledgeable service technicians at Mass Garage Doors Expert.

Of course, there can be no choice made until all the details are investigated first. For example, what caused the unit to need a repair? Is any component working, or is it a complete no-go? Was there external damage involved? Is the warranty still in operation? What about insurance coverage? These are just some of the considerations that should be discussed when deciding between repairing or replacing any garage door part. 

What about installation fees?

Right out of the gate, let’s start fresh and brand new with a general price guide to keep in mind. You’ve chosen the opener best suited to your garage as suggested by your pro service tech. Now, let’s consider the additional installation costs: 

● Depending on the horsepower, the brand and if you choose a professional to install it, a chain-driven opener can cost $150 to $350, while a belt-driven opener can cost $200 to $300. A screw-driven opener can cost $180 to $300.

● programming fees may ensue as well 

● New installations may require a new electrical outlet and wiring. 

Installing an electrical outlet cost can average $145 to $200. In addition, electricians charge $40 to $100 per hour when adding a new circuit, breaker panel, or cutting into walls.
