RJ Garage Door Services provides professional garage door opener installation for residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated unit, replacing a broken motor, or installing an opener for the first time, our experienced team ensures a smooth, safe, and efficient process. We install openers that improve convenience, security, and day-to-day performance.

If your current opener is aging or underperforming, it may be time to replace it. Common signs include:

  • Excessive noise or vibration
  • Delayed or inconsistent operation
  • Frequent remote or keypad malfunctions
  • Lack of safety features or smart functionality
  • Opener is over 10-15 years old

Modern openers offer smoother performance, better security, and more convenience—especially when paired with mobile apps and integrated access control.

Types of Garage Door Openers We Install

Different doors and environments call for different opener types. We help you choose the right opener based on door size, usage frequency, noise level preference, and technology needs. Our options include:

  • Belt Drive Openers – Quiet and ideal for attached garages
  • Chain Drive Openers – Durable and cost-effective for high-use systems
  • Jackshaft Openers – Mounted to the wall for high ceilings or specialty spaces
  • Screw Drive Openers – Low-maintenance and suited for wide, heavy doors
  • Smart Openers – Wi-Fi-enabled models with mobile app controls and remote access

We install trusted brands including LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, and more, offering models with battery backup, LED lighting, keypads, and safety sensors.

Our Opener Installation Process

We make the installation process simple and seamless. Whether it’s part of a new door setup or a standalone opener replacement, our technicians follow a structured process:

  1. Consultation: We assess your current door, ceiling clearance, power source, and preferred features.
  2. Opener Selection: We help you choose the best opener based on your needs and budget.
  3. Installation: We securely mount the opener, connect all components, and wire the safety sensors and controls.
  4. Testing: We run multiple open-close cycles, calibrate the force settings, and ensure safety mechanisms are working properly.
  5. Demonstration: We show you how to use remotes, wall panels, and smart features if applicable.

All installations are done by trained technicians and include proper alignment, safety verification, and post-installation cleanup.
