"Justin is very professional. He arrives on time and perform the necessary inspection with a quote to me. He completes the spring replacement quickly with high quality of work. Apex is the only company I can easily reach out and provides me a clear timeframe of the service on Father’s Day. I definitely will choose Apex again if I have garage door issue in the future."

"I am not a person who enjoys putting "all 5's" for reviews. That being said, I had no choice here - the service was top notch, FAST, and imbued with professionalism. James, the owner of the company, was the person who did my new garage door opener and garage door. One thing that I especially liked was how James would always put his tools away when he was done using them. It screamed, "I've been doing this for a while, I'm fast at it, and I'm good at it." I asked a lot of questions while he was installing the door and he answered them all without making me feel like an idiot. Very happy that I chose The Garage Door Guy for my needs - would recommend to everyone!"

"An appointment was made for between 1 and 5 PM. Was called at work at noon and told that if I wasn't home in 30 minutes, my work would have to be rescheduled for another day. I got home in time but garage door did not malfunction at first. The serviceman said he couldn't help me - that my account of the door starting down and then going back up was insufficient to determine what was wrong. Said he had checked everything and the door was operating properly. He tried the door one more time before leaving and it stopped part way down and then started back up. He replaced the capacitor and tested the door. Three weeks later, the door began having the same problem. I will hire someone else to fix it this time. I had this same company fix a problem with the door a year ago; that serviceman was very professional & identified the problem rapidly. I do not want this year's serviceman on my property again; I do not trust that he knew what he was talking about.

"Was just looking for estimate for garage door and did not have time to get garage opener installed that day of estimate but felt pressured into getting work done. It was stressful. I was almost late to work and was just not happy. When he showed me options I thought I was just picking which one I wanted estimate on not agreeing to get it installed."

A chain-drive opener costs less, but it’s louder and needs more upkeep. If your budget allows, a belt-drive model is often the smarter long-term buy, especially for an attached garage with a bedroom above where noise matters. The decision between a chain or belt opener comes down to your budget and needs, and your garage door opener installer can help you choose an option that best suits you.
Choosing the right horsepower for your garage door opener is crucial for safe and efficient performance. Your garage door’s design and material determine the required horsepower. A single-car garage demands a half horsepower rating, while a two-car garage requires a rating between three-fourths and 1.25 horsepower. Selecting the proper power level ensures optimum performance and durability over the life of the opener.
Plan on a quick garage door tune-up once or twice a year. Tighten the chain or belt, lubricate moving parts, test the safety sensors, and swap out weak batteries in the remotes or backup unit. A few dollars in lubricant and 30 minutes of work can fend off costly repairs, keep the door running smoothly, and help the opener hit its full life expectancy.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.

Budget for garage door opener installation costs based on factors such as horsepower, opener type, lighting, sensors, battery backup, labor, and more.
