Yes. We service all major gate operator brands including LiftMaster, DoorKing (DKS), Linear, FAAC, Viking, All-O-Matic, and others. We also repair custom-built gate systems regardless of who installed them originally.
If your operator is less than 10 years old and the issue is a specific component (board, motor, limit switch), repair is usually the better value. If it is 15+ years old, experiencing frequent failures, or the manufacturer has discontinued parts, replacement with a modern operator is the smarter investment — newer models are more reliable and include smartphone integration.
Often, yes. We assess the structural damage to determine if the gate can be straightened and repaired or if sections need replacement. We also check the operator and posts for hidden damage. We can provide documentation for insurance claims to help cover the cost of repairs.
