Local matters for garage door opener repair. In Murray and neighboring Benton, Mayfield, Calvert City, and Reidland, the failures we address most are mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Because Murray has hot, humid summers and short, mild winters, with frequent storms and moisture that lingers in the air most of the year, the doors here age differently than inland or coastal homes elsewhere. The usual culprits are morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers — exactly what our techs come prepared for.
We've fixed thousands of doors around Calloway County, and the pattern holds in Murray: mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and rusted bottom brackets on damp slabs. None of it should leave you without a working garage for more than a day.
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.
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 Murray call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across Calloway 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 Murray visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every Five Points 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 Murray home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in Murray. 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 Calloway 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 Murray 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 Five Points 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 Murray maintenance fix.
