Garage Door Garage Door Opener Repair Olivette, MO
For garage door opener repair in Olivette, MO, the right approach depends on the environment. Local conditions bring summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, which we account for on every Olivette job.
If you've owned a garage door through a few Olivette seasons, you know the pattern: a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity brings summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping. We size and protect replacements accordingly.
Garage doors in Olivette tend to fail in predictable ways — degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
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 Olivette call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across St. Louis 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 Olivette visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every Olivette 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 Olivette home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in Olivette. 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 St. Louis 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 Olivette 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 Olivette 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 Olivette maintenance fix.

Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Olivette: with humid subtropical climate — long and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, and intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, the common failure modes are degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity. Our Olivette trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
In Olivette it is usually degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
Most opener repairs are 60–90 minutes including diagnosis. Logic board swaps can run 90–120 minutes with full programming. Capacitor swaps are typically under 45 minutes — same-visit across Olivette.
Sometimes — depends on the extent. Surface water on a logic board is often recoverable with cleaning. Submerged or corroded boards typically need replacement, and we carry them on every Olivette truck.
