A new opener with rail, motor, sensors, wall control and remotes, mounted solidly and set up for smooth, safe travel.
An opener is the part of a garage door you use most, so it is worth getting right. A good opener lifts the door smoothly, stops where it should, reverses when something is in the way and gives you remotes, a wall control and sometimes a phone app. Homeowners in Nashville add a new opener when a door never had one, when an old unit has failed or when they want quieter, smarter control.
We begin by checking that the door is balanced, because an opener should never be asked to lift the weight of an unbalanced door. We look at the ceiling structure, the headroom and the nearest power outlet, then recommend a drive type and motor size. Installation includes mounting the rail and motor head, wiring the wall control and photo-eye sensors, setting travel limits and force and programming your remotes and keypad. We finish by testing the auto-reverse and sensors.
An opener is not meant to carry the full weight of a door. We check balance and fix springs before we mount a new opener.
Belt, chain and wall-mount drives suit different homes, and motor size should match the door weight and how often it is used.
The motor head and rail must be fastened to solid framing, not just drywall, so the vibration does not loosen it.
We aim photo-eye sensors correctly, set force and travel limits and test auto-reverse before we leave.

You tell us what you want or what the door is doing, and we set an estimate visit that fits your day.
We measure the opening and the headroom, side room and back room, check the framing and note options for the door, tracks and opener.
You get a plain written scope with the door model, insulation, hardware, opener and schedule, and you approve it before anything is ordered.
The door and parts are ordered or built to your size, and we confirm the install day once they arrive.
We remove the old door, set the tracks, hang the door, balance the springs, mount the opener and test every safety feature.
We clean up, haul away the old door if you asked, walk you through the finished work and explain how to care for it.
It depends on noise, ceiling room and use. A belt drive is quiet, a chain drive is sturdy and a wall-mount unit saves ceiling space. We help you choose.
You need an outlet near the opener. We tell you what is needed, and a qualified electrician handles any new wiring.
Often not, since codes and frequencies change. We provide and program new ones.
It may try, but it will wear out quickly and can be unsafe. We balance the door first.
Many openers are installed in a few hours.
