Direct answer
Price, timing, and next steps
A new garage door opener runs $1,350 to $2,250 installed, depending on which model you choose. We install LiftMaster, belt drive or chain drive, with options like battery backup and myQ smartphone control, and we haul away the old unit. Call for a flat quote, or keep reading to pick the right one.
Tested before we leave. We check door balance, travel, and safety sensors, run the door through full cycles, and walk you through the completed work.

Warning signs
Signs this is your door
- The repairs are stacking up.A sensor here, a gear kit there. When a tired motor head starts collecting repair bills, replacement is usually the cheaper path.
- You can hear it from the other end of the house.Old chain drives rattle the whole ceiling; a modern belt drive runs quiet enough to mount under a bedroom.
- No safety sensors or no battery backup.If your opener predates modern safety standards or dies with the power, it is behind what current units do as standard.
- You want the door on your phone.Left-open alerts, remote closing, access codes for guests. If you have ever turned the car around to check the door, myQ pays for itself.
A clear process
What happens next
- Note what you want out of the opener: remotes, keypad, battery backup, lighting, app control. Then book online or call.
- Your tech checks the door, the springs, the balance, and your garage layout, then walks you through which LiftMaster fits your door and your budget.
- One flat number for the whole job: unit, installation, programming, and haul-away of the old opener. Work starts only after you say yes.
- We install the unit, program your remotes and keypad, connect myQ if you want it, run the door through full cycles, and check the safety reverse.
Real prices from completed jobs
What it costs
Most opener installations run $1,350 to $2,250 installed, depending on which model you choose.
What moves the number: belt or chain drive, motor power for heavier doors, and features like battery backup, myQ, and cameras. That price is the whole job, including installation, programming, and haul-away of the old unit.
We size the opener to your actual door instead of upselling the biggest box on the truck, and an opener install is also a checkup: we inspect springs, cables, and balance while we are up there, because a new motor on an unbalanced door will not last.

Nicholas was very friendly and professional. He replaced parts for my garage door and installed a new opener on the same day that I got the estimate! Highly recommend this business!
★★★★★
Broken spring was fixed same day - no BS, no upselling, and an honest assessment of current system (1993!) and possible replacement costs.

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you choose a next step
How much does garage door opener installation cost?
Most installs run $1,350 to $2,250 installed, depending on which model you choose. Drive type, motor power, and features like battery backup and myQ move the number within that range. You approve one flat quote covering the unit, install, and haul-away.
Belt or chain garage door opener?
Belt for most homes: it is the quiet one, and the difference matters if anyone sleeps near the garage. Chain is the rugged, budget-friendly workhorse. Both fall inside the $1,350 to $2,250 installed range, and your tech will point you to the drive that fits your garage.
What size opener do I need?
It depends on your door's size and weight; a heavy insulated double door needs more motor than a light single. Rather than guessing from a box label, your tech checks the actual door and quotes the right motor flat.
Do I need a smart opener?
Need, no. But myQ smartphone control is the feature people thank us for later: left-open alerts, closing the door from anywhere, and access codes for guests or deliveries. It is built into the LiftMaster units we install most, within the same $1,350 to $2,250 installed range.
Can you fix my old opener instead?
If it can be fixed for less, we say so. Small repairs like sensors, remotes, and keypads usually run $150 to $325, and we are happy to make them. Replacement earns its keep when the motor head itself is failing or parts stop being worth chasing. We quote both paths and you pick.
