After dealing with noisy broken springs and 25-year-old Genie openers, a Colchester homeowner upgraded to two new insulated garage doors and LiftMaster 6580L openers with a keypad.
A homeowner in Colchester, CT reached out to our team after noticing severe noise coming from her garage door system. She originally thought a bent track was the cause of the problem. However, once our technician arrived on site for an inspection, we identified that the issue was actually snapped extension springs.
We presented the customer with options for moving forward. The first option was to perform a spring repair to put the existing door back into working order. However, as we chatted further, the customer explained that her current setup had other major drawbacks. Her garage door openers were 25-year-old Genie screw drive units that operated with excessive noise. Every time the openers ran, they shook the whole house and woke up the household.
Given the age and condition of the equipment, we discussed a full replacement solution. The homeowner concluded that replacing the system entirely made the most sense for her home. The following day, our team returned to complete the project. We removed the old doors and the 25-year-old Genie screw drive openers, replacing them with two brand new insulated garage doors and two top-of-the-line LiftMaster 6580L premium openers. We also set up a new keypad.
The result was a complete overhaul that resolved the snapped spring issue and eliminated the loud noise and house-shaking vibrations of the old openers.
