Which Type of Garage Door Opener Is Best for You?
Precision Installs 3 Main Types Of Garage Door Openers
Chain Drive
Chain Drive Openers run on a steel chain, are durable, but tend to be noisier than other types of openers. They are often less expensive than other opener types, and are a good option for detached garages, or homes that don’t have a living space adjacent to the garage.
Belt Drive
Belt Drive Openers run on a steel-reinforced belt and are virtually silent. Just as reliable as chain drive openers, belt drives are recommended for homes where there is a living space attached to the garage, as they will not disturb any occupants.
Jackshaft
Jackshaft Openers are mounted on the wall to the right or left of your door and connect directly to the torsion bar to help raise and lower your garage door. Because they do not have a belt or chain, the opener itself is practically silent. Jackshaft openers are a common choice for garages with an obstruction, such as a beam in the ceiling, limiting the garage's overhead space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Garage Door Openers
Do you install new garage door openers? If so, what brands or types do you install?
Yes! We install both our own Precision-branded garage door openers and LiftMaster® openers. We offer several types of openers, including belt-drive and jackshaft (wall-mount) models, with options to fit different garage door setups and customer needs.
Depending on the model, available features may include quiet operation, smart/Wi-Fi connectivity, battery backup, LED lighting, and built-in cameras.
Our technicians can explain the differences between the available models and help you choose the right opener for your garage door, lifestyle, and budget. In many cases, we can even install your new opener the same day if the model you choose is stocked on our truck.
How can a customer tell if they need a new opener vs. a repair?
It depends on the age, condition, and specific problem with your opener. Issues like sensor problems, remotes that aren’t working, or certain worn components may be repairable. If the opener is older, frequently needs repairs, has significant mechanical or electrical problems, or lacks modern safety features, replacement may be the better option.
Our technicians can inspect and diagnose your opener, explain what’s causing the problem, and review both repair and replacement options when appropriate. We’ll give you the information and upfront pricing you need to decide what makes the most sense for your home and budget.
Do you install smart garage door openers? If yes, what features do they include?
Yes! We install smart garage door openers, including LiftMaster® models with myQ® connectivity. Depending on the model you choose, available features may include:
- Smartphone control and monitoring from virtually anywhere
- Real-time alerts about your garage door
- Built-in cameras on select models
- Battery backup to keep your door operating during a power outage
- Bright LED garage lighting
- Ultra-quiet operation
Our technicians can walk you through the available models and features and help you choose the opener that best fits your home, needs, and budget.
Do you offer opener repairs? If so, what common issues can you fix?

Do you offer any warranties or support for new opener installations?
Yes. Depending on the opener and service provided, we offer a limited lifetime warranty on certain components and workmanship. New garage door openers may also include manufacturer warranties, which vary by brand and model.
