Booked garage door opener repair in Burlingame, CA? Expect a tech who actually works San Mateo County: fast dispatch, an honest diagnosis, and parts on the truck for broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors, opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes, corroded low brackets on homes near the coast, and dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV.
What wears out a Burlingame door isn't just use — it's the weather. A mild Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and gentle, damp winters, with low annual rainfall and abundant sun drives intense afternoon UV that dries out weather seals and bottom gaskets, fine road and yard grit that grinds rollers over time, and long dry spells that crack aging weatherstripping, and we plan for all of it.
When Burlingame doors quit, it's usually broken torsion springs on high-cycle suburban doors, opener logic-board failures after summer heat spikes, corroded low brackets on homes near the coast, and dried, cracked bottom seals from constant UV. Our diagnostic isolates the true cause so the fix actually lasts.
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 Burlingame call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across San Mateo 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 Burlingame visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every Burlingame Hills, Easton Addition, Lyon Hoag 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 Burlingame home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in Burlingame. 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 San Mateo 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 Burlingame 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 Burlingame Hills, Easton Addition, Lyon Hoag 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 Burlingame maintenance fix.
