"Joshua with Lee's Doors was recommended to me by my brother-in-law. I was not disappointed. Had two new garage doors installed and an opener installed. Love how they look and operate! Would hire Josh again if needed. He was very courteous and a good worker. Answered my questions re: everything he was doing. "

"My tech was very professional. He showed up before time, very patient and explained all repair options the company offered and pricing. He had all parts on hand didn’t have to wait to get door repaired. At first I felt price was to high but after seeing what the technician had to go through to repair my garage door after the previous owners went the cheap route I felt great I chose this company to do the repair!! He explained every part answer all my questions. Before he left he double checked his work and made sure everything was operating properly he lubed every hinge and spring. I have to say I’m very impressed with this company I’m also impressed they came and did the work on a Sunday. This company will definitely be doing all my garage repair work as long as I own my home."

"Repair job turned into a new opener installation. Felt their diagnosis and recommendation to install new opener was honest and fair. Honored (without asking) an old coupon 'sticker' on the garage door for labor discount and also one for a free keypad opener. And accepted a free service call discount for mentioning the phone book ad. Very professional job and customer interaction. Very pleased overall. Only 4.5 stars above ...because very little is truly worth 5 stars, IMHO."

FAQs for garage door opener repair or adjustment projects in Ames, IA

Garage door costs range somewhat broadly, depending on the type you choose. However, you’ll also need to factor in labor costs, which vary from state to state and between pros.

A chain driven operator costs between $150 - $250. For a belt driven operator it is usually $160 - $450. A screw-driven operator is between $250-$500.

To keep garage door opener repair costs down, you should check that the whole apparatus is working normally on a regular basis. This means making sure that the tracks of your door are greased and fully operational, and that the door itself is in good condition.

Installing a new garage door opener runs from $250 to $500 at least. If your repair costs are close in cost to that range or if your garage door is 10 to 15 years old, you should probably replace it instead of repair.

However, it’s a better idea to fix your garage door opener if it’s less than eight years old or if repair costs are less than replacing.

Garage door openers usually last between 10 and 15 years. However, several factors contribute to how long your garage door opener can last. If you schedule regular inspections and practice proper care, you can maximize your garage door opener’s lifespan, saving money in the long run. As a general rule, practice the same care for your garage door opener as you would the door itself.

These tell-tale signs indicate your garage door is going bad, including:

  • Not closing or opening at all

  • The door reversing when you try to open and/or close it

  • Inconsistent opening and closing; more noise than usual (grinding, scraping, or banging)

  • Sticking or stalling when you try to open or close it

If you experience one or more of these signs, it’s time to call a professional garage door repair service.
