Dead since the trees came down — across Scarsdale, Bronxville, Hartsdale, White Plains, Eastchester, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle.
An opener rarely dies quietly. The remote starts working only from the bottom of the drive, the motor hums but will not pull, the door reverses at the same spot every time, or the unit is dark after a storm took the lines down. We test the entire chain — wall button, remotes, logic board, capacitor, drive gear, travel limits and safety eyes — and repair the real fault rather than replacing parts until something works.
In this county the grid and the trees are the story. Westchester's canopy is among the heaviest in the region and storms bring limbs down on the lines several times a year, with surges at both ends of every outage. Those kill logic boards and capacitors while the motor stays perfectly sound — one part rather than a whole unit, if somebody tests before quoting. Very often the opener that looks dead needs a board, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a new machine.
The old-building factor shows up here too, in the wiring. Sensor and wall-button wire in an unheated century-old garage has spent every winter in damp air, often stapled through its insulation, and the corrosion at those punctures is what produces the classic intermittent opener — works in dry weather, refuses in wet. Boards get replaced for this constantly and the fault returns. We test the low-voltage run before condemning anything expensive.
Power, board, capacitor, gear, limits, sensors, remotes and the low-voltage wiring tested in order.
Repair versus replace laid out honestly, with one clear number for each path.
Common boards, gears, capacitors, sensors and remotes for the major brands ride on the truck.
Auto-reverse, photo-eyes, force limits and travel set to spec and proven in front of you.
