What Is Not Included in Our Opener Pricing
These Items Might Increase the Cost of Having a New Opener Installed
- Door Repairs
- Door must run somewhat smoothly and be in generally good repair, no matter which opener you choose
- Door must be properly counterbalanced by springs
- If your door needs work, we will explain your options, quote you a reasonable price, and handle the repair on the spot for you
- We pride ourselves on honest, highest-quality door repairs at very reasonable rates (usually 1/2 the price or less of the big franchise company)
- Top Door Section Reinforcement
- $25 to reinforce the top section of 8′ single-wide doors – if you need it
- Electrical Outlets
- We will plug your new opener into a professionally installed, approved electrical outlet in the ceiling
- If you don’t already have an outlet within reach of the opener’s power cord:
- We can still install your opener
- You can have an electrician install an approved outlet after we install the opener
- Please note: Some homeowners plug their openers in using an extension cord or into a light socket in the ceiling. We have seen this done in many, many garages over the last 30 years or so, and we never seen issues or damage as a result of this type of setup. However, this is not officially recommended and might violate building codes and/or product warranties.
- Longer Rails for Doors Taller Than Specified in Product Description
- $25 upcharge for nominal 8′ rails
- Additional Equipment for Extra Low or Extra High Ceilings
- If there is less than 2″ between the highest point of the door travel arc and the ceiling, we will need to find a solution to fit your opener in the space. Often, this involves no additional cost, but in some cases, additional labor or equipment charges will apply
- Ceilings over 11′ high require additional angle iron to secure the opener to the ceiling. There might be additional costs for this extra material.
