Garage Door Opener Repair Strum, WI
Repair for every major opener brand — LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, Craftsman, Sommer, Marantec. Logic board, gear, capacitor, and travel-limit issues diagnosed and fixed in one visit.
This guide anchors our garage door opener services in Strum, WI — the specialized fixes below go deeper on each job, and the full garage door opener catalog lists everything we handle.
In Strum, every garage door opener repair starts with the local picture — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. We choose hardware that survives Wisconsin's cold northern climate, not whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Local climate is the quiet reason Strum doors fail when they do. A cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers leads to snowmelt and road salt that rust low brackets, ice dams that bind the bottom panel to the threshold, and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease — all of it preventable with the right hardware.
If your Strum door is acting up, it's often ice- and snow-jammed tracks, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw, and rusted hardware from repeated snowmelt and road salt. Our techs run a full safety and balance check so a small fix doesn't turn into a repeat visit.
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 Strum call.
Opener runs but stops partway
Travel limit drift or a tired gear assembly. Re-programming travel limits is free in the diagnostic across Trempealeau 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 Strum visit.
Door reverses immediately when closing
Photo-eye misalignment or force setting drift. Photo-eye realignment is part of every Strum 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 Strum home.
Common causes & what we fix
Power surge
The single most common cause of catastrophic opener failure we see in Strum. 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 Trempealeau 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 Strum 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 Strum 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 Strum maintenance fix.
