Whether it’s part of a new build or an upgrade, a properly installed opener makes all the difference.
Choosing the Right Garage Door Opener
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. You’ll need to consider:
Horsepower: Heavier doors need more powerful motors
Drive type: Chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, or direct drive
Noise level: Belt drives are quieter, chain drives are more affordable

Brand compatibility: LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, Craftsman, and more
We’ll help you find the perfect match for your garage and your lifestyle.
