Garage Door Garage Door Opener Repair College Park, MD
We handle garage door opener repair across College Park year-round. The local reality — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware — guides which springs, rollers, and seals we install.
College Park sits in Maryland's humid subtropical region — a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That puts real stress on garage door hardware: we routinely see summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, damp garages that pit galvanized parts over time, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, and we fit parts rated to handle it.
From Acredale, Berwyn, Lakeland and Branchville, the issues College Park customers describe are typically swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. We quote flat-rate, fix it in one trip, and back the work for 10 years.
Garage door opener repair covers a wide range of failure modes — from a $25 capacitor swap that takes 20 minutes to a full logic board replacement that takes an hour. Our techs diagnose to the component level rather than recommending opener replacement as the default. A 6-year-old LiftMaster with a worn gear assembly is almost always worth repairing; the same model at 14 years old with three different failure points is usually worth replacing.
Trucks stock the most common parts for the major brands: LiftMaster logic boards (Security+ 2.0), Genie circuit boards, capacitors in standard microfarad ratings, nylon and bronze gear assemblies, travel limit switches, and replacement wall consoles. The 96% first-call fix rate applies to opener repair too — most issues are diagnosed and resolved in the same visit.
Every opener repair includes a full operational check after the fix: force settings re-calibrated to the door weight, travel limits set so the door fully opens and fully closes without straining, photo-eyes re-aligned and tested for auto-reverse, and remote/keypad pairing verified. If you've been living with a finicky opener for months, the post-repair calibration is often a noticeable improvement on its own.

This guide anchors our garage door opener services in College Park, MD — the specialized fixes below go deeper on each job, and the full garage door opener catalog lists everything we handle.
Classic capacitor failure — the motor wants to start but can't develop the torque. Fix is usually $89–$129 in parts and 30 minutes of labor on a College Park call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across Prince George's County; gear replacement is $149–$249.
Remote works sometimes, not others
Logic board going intermittent, or a coding battery low in the remote. We diagnose both during the College Park visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every Acredale, Berwyn, Lakeland diagnostic; force re-calibration is included in any repair.
Wall console unresponsive
Could be the console, the wiring, or the logic board. We bring all three replacements on the truck and isolate the actual cause at your College Park home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in College Park. A $25 surge protector at the receptacle would have prevented most of these calls.
Capacitor age
Electrolytic capacitors dry out over 7–10 years. The motor still works fine; the start capacitor just can't kick it over — a routine Prince George's County fix.
Gear wear
Nylon worm gears in chain-drive and screw-drive openers wear out predictably around 12–15 years. A $149 gear swap extends opener life another 5+ years, and it's one of the most common College Park repairs.
Logic board failure
Boards fail from surges, heat, and age. LiftMaster boards run $189–$249; Genie similar. Often worth replacing on a 6–10 year old opener; rarely worth it past 14 years. We stock boards on every Acredale, Berwyn, Lakeland truck.
Travel limit drift
Cables stretch slightly over time, changing the door's travel distance. Re-programming the opener's travel limits is a frequent College Park maintenance fix.
