Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best garage door opener brand?

LiftMaster and Chamberlain are industry leaders with the best parts availability and warranty support. We recommend them for most Austin homeowners. Genie is a solid alternative. We'll match the right model to your door size and budget.

What horsepower opener do I need?

1/2 HP handles most standard residential doors. 3/4 HP is better for heavy wood or double doors. 1+ HP for oversized or commercial doors. We'll assess your door weight and recommend the right size.

Can you install a smart opener that works with my phone?

Yes — we install LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers with MyQ technology, which connects to your smartphone for remote monitoring and control. Compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit with the appropriate accessories.

How long does opener installation take?

Most opener installations take 2–3 hours including programming all remotes and the smartphone app.

My door is new — do I need a new opener too?

Not necessarily. If your existing opener is in good working condition, we can connect it to the new door during installation. We'll test it and let you know if it's compatible and functioning properly.
