Sales, service, installation & repair — done right the first time, the old-school way. Service with a big Texas smile, and fair, affordable pricing.
ProTech is the name — old school is the service. Now serving Ennis and all of Ellis County, we provide sales, service, installation, and repair — done right the first time, the way it used to be done, back in the good old days, when neighbors helped neighbors, a company took care of its customers like family, and a deal was a deal — sealed with a handshake. And we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because a broken spring doesn't wait for business hours. We specialize in maintenance programs, spring repairs, and roller replacement: the service work that keeps your door running quiet and safe, year after year. We also do new construction — first doors and LiftMaster openers for newly built homes, working with builders and homeowners from the rough opening to the final safety check. We're not a turn-'em-and-burn-'em outfit — we're a fair company. Our technicians are trained, certified, background-checked, show up with ID, and are Texas friendly, and we carry a $1 million general liability policy and a $200,000 business auto policy. Show up when we say, tell you straight what's wrong, fix it right, charge a fair price. No runaround. No upsell. No bull.
A personal word
I'm the creator of the ProTech garage door systems — the way this company runs, from the first call to the final safety check, is something I built on purpose. ProTech is a residential garage door service, and we specialize in taking care of people: our neighbors, our family, and our friends.
The internet has taken the personal stuff away from us — everybody's a form to fill out, a number in a queue, a company with no face and no name. We got to get personal again. So here's my face and my name, right up front: when you reach out to ProTech, there's a real person standing behind the work, and we treat your home like it was our own.
And here's my personal promise on top of it: if we can't get to you when you need us, we won't leave you hanging with a "sorry, nobody's available." We'll do our best to get there ourselves — and if we truly can't, we'll help find someone who can. One way or another, help is coming.
Give us a call — or build your request note below — and let's take care of your door the old-school way.
My motto
“Do something good for humanity — it'll make you feel good, I promise.”
And I stand behind my word.

What we do best
We're a service company first — and we're on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the service work. Maintenance programs, spring repairs, and roller replacement are our specialty — that's where the real value is, for you and for us: a door that's looked after stays quiet, balanced, and safe, and doesn't leave your car trapped on a Monday morning when you're already late for work. Installs aren't our main line for existing homes — if we sell you a door, of course we'll install it and install it right. And we also do new construction: doors and openers for newly built homes, start to finish. But day in, day out, service work is what we do best.
Our specialty, and the smartest money you can spend on a door. Get on the program and we come out on schedule: lube, balance, tighten, inspect springs, cables, and rollers, and run the full safety check — sensors and auto-reverse included. Small wear gets caught while it's still a small bill, not an emergency. And we do it the white-glove way: cardboard behind the springs before we spray, and everything wiped down after, so no oil ends up on your wall and no grease drips on your car.
$89 tune-up special to start · parts additional if needed · program priced up front
The spring does the heavy lifting. When it snaps, the door won't budge — and it shouldn't be forced. We match the right spring to your door's weight and replace in pairs when both are worn.
Usually $250–$600
Worn rollers are why a door grinds, squeals, and rattles the whole house. A full set of quiet nylon rollers makes an old door roll smooth and quiet again — it's one of the best-value jobs we do, and one of our specialties.
Full set usually $180–$300
Frayed cables and a door hanging crooked are a door about to fall. We replace worn cables on both sides, get the door safely back on track, and find out what knocked it off so it stays put.
Usually $150–$325
Dead motor, stripped gear, bad logic board, or just plain worn out — we repair most major brands first, because a repair is usually the fair deal. If an opener is truly done, we'll tell you straight. And when it's time for a new one, we sell LiftMaster — and only LiftMaster. It's the brand we trust, so it's the only one we put our name behind. We install it with remotes and keypad set up before we leave.
Repair $150–$350 · New LiftMaster $450–$800
Installs aren't what we chase — service is. But if your door is genuinely done, or we sell you a door, we'll install it right and haul the old one off. That includes wood doors, cedar doors, and custom-made doors — see below. Backed into a panel? We replace single panels when the rest of the door is sound.
Steel doors from $1,200 installed · wood & custom quoted
Building a new home? We do new construction too. We work with builders and homeowners on new builds — measure the rough opening, supply and install the door, tracks, springs, and hardware, and fit a new LiftMaster opener with remotes, keypad, and safety sensors set up and tested before handover. Steel, wood, cedar, and custom-made doors available. One house or a whole run of homes — quoted up front by plan and door.
Quoted up front — by plan, size & door
Yes — we do those too
Steel isn't the whole story. We also service, repair, and — when we sell you the door — install real wood doors, cedar doors, and custom-made doors built to fit your house. Wood doors are heavier and need the right springs, hardware, and balance to match, and that's exactly the kind of service work we specialize in. Already have a wood door? We'll maintain it, rebalance it, and keep it rolling right. Want a new one? Tell us what you're picturing and we'll quote it straight.
Cedar is a favorite for a reason: it looks rich, it's naturally resistant to rot and insects, and it's lighter than a lot of other hardwoods — easier on springs and openers. We service cedar doors, replace worn hardware, and install cedar doors we sell, balanced and set up for that extra wood weight from day one.
Carriage-house styles, arched openings, odd sizes, windows where you want them, iron hardware to finish the look — if it's custom-made, we'll work with it. We service custom wood doors of all kinds, and when you buy a custom door through us, we measure, order, install, and haul the old door off.
Wood doors need a little more looking after: checking for swelling, sticking, and wear, keeping them balanced as the wood's weight settles, and catching soft spots early. That's maintenance work — our specialty — and it's what keeps a good wood door a good wood door.
A wood or custom door can weigh a good deal more than steel. Springs, cables, rollers, and the opener all have to be sized for it. If your wood door is loud, heavy to lift by hand, or eating openers, that's usually a mismatch we can fix.
Wood, cedar, and custom doors are priced by size, wood, and design, so there's no honest one-size price list. Send a photo or a short video of what you have — or what you want — and we'll quote it in plain numbers before any work starts.
Know your opener
Every opener pulls the door one of three ways. Here's what each one actually is, what it sounds like, and who it's best for — in plain words, so you can tell what's hanging in your garage and what to ask for when it's time for a new one. For repairs we service all three. For a new opener, we sell LiftMaster — and only LiftMaster. Under each one we've put the details that matter — motor, noise, smart features, and the LiftMaster warranty it carries — with LiftMaster's full warranty terms and the accessories they sell just below.
A metal chain — like a heavy bicycle chain — runs along the rail and pulls the door up and down. It's the oldest, toughest, most common drive there is, and usually the lowest-priced. The tradeoff is noise: you hear the chain, so the whole house knows the door just ran. LiftMaster's chain models are the honest workhorses of the line — strong enough for heavy doors, with Wi-Fi built into most of them.
Best for: detached garages, heavy doors, and getting the job done on a budget. Noise: the loudest of the three.
Same idea as a chain, but a steel-reinforced rubber belt runs the rail instead of metal links. No metal-on-metal rattle means it runs smooth and quiet — a big difference if there's a bedroom or living room over or next to the garage. LiftMaster's belt models sit in the Elite Series: DC motors with soft start and stop, bright integrated LED lighting, and the strongest warranty LiftMaster offers.
Best for: attached garages and anyone tired of the door waking the house. Noise: the quietest of the three.
A long threaded steel screw runs the length of the rail, and the trolley rides the threads to move the door. Fewer moving parts than chain or belt, so there's less to wear out and stretch — but it can get noisy as it ages and needs the right lube, and extreme temperature swings can affect it. LiftMaster's current lineup is chain, belt, and wall-mount, so screw drive is one we service and repair rather than sell new.
Best for: folks who want simple and low-maintenance. Noise: in the middle — quieter than chain when it's right, louder when it's dry.
The one we love to sell — because it earns it
This is the opener that knows your house. The LiftMaster smart opener — powered by myQ — connects through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to your home internet, and from there, to your phone. And it's got a camera built right in, so you can actually see inside your garage from wherever you are.
Ask us about it when you call — we'll tell you straight whether it makes sense for your door and your house, set it up, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and walk you through the app before we leave.
Ask about the smart openerStraight from LiftMaster
Every new LiftMaster we install carries LiftMaster's own manufacturer's warranty, on top of our limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor — all backed in writing. LiftMaster tiers it by part — here's how it breaks down on the openers we sell:
On the Elite Series belt drives and the wall-mount models, LiftMaster warrants the motor for life — and the belt right along with it on belt drives. Chain-drive models carry a lifetime motor warranty too. "Lifetime" means for the original purchaser, in the original residential installation.
The opener's other parts — logic board, sensors, trolley, internal hardware, and the integrated LED lighting — carry 5 years on the Elite Series models. On standard chain-drive models, parts are covered for 1 year. Either way, if a covered part fails in its term, the part is on LiftMaster.
The battery backup battery, the built-in camera, remotes, wireless keypad, and wall control panel each carry a 1-year LiftMaster warranty. Small parts, shorter leash — that's how LiftMaster writes it, and we'd rather tell you now than surprise you later.
LiftMaster covers its part; ProTech stands behind the whole job. Every opener we install also carries our limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor — all backed in writing. If something we installed isn't right, we come back and make it right. See our warranty for the full terms.
Warranty terms above are LiftMaster's published terms for the residential models we sell and install; the exact terms for your model are in its owner's manual, and LiftMaster's terms control. When you buy a new opener from us, we'll tell you exactly which tier your model falls in before you pay a dime.
Make it yours
LiftMaster sells a full line of accessories that work with the openers we install. Add them at install time or later — we'll set them up, pair them, and show you how they work before we leave.
Three-button visor remotes for the second car, the truck, or the teenager. One remote can run up to three openers, and we program every one before we leave.
Keyless entry that mounts beside the door — punch in your code and you're in, no keys, no remote. Perfect for kids getting home from school and for letting family in without a spare key floating around.
When the power goes out, the door still works. Battery backup keeps your opener running through an outage — no lifting a dead door by hand in the dark. Standard on Elite models, addable on others.
The free myQ app puts the door on your phone: open, close, and check it from anywhere, get an alert the moment it moves, and set schedules. Comes built into the Wi-Fi openers we sell.
Already have an opener you like? The standalone myQ camera adds an eye inside the garage on its own — live video and motion alerts from the same app, no new opener required.
An upgraded wall panel with a menu screen, motion-sensing light, and a lock mode that blocks remotes while you're away. Small part, big peace of mind.
No surprises
These are honest ballpark ranges for common residential jobs around Ellis County — parts and labor — with our specialty work right at the top: maintenance, springs, and rollers. Your exact price gets quoted on-site, in plain numbers, before any work starts. If you don't like the price, you don't pay for the repair.
Right now a full tune-up is $89: we lube, balance, tighten, inspect springs, cables, and rollers, and run the full safety check — sensors and auto-reverse included. That's the tune-up, done. If your door needs parts, parts are additional — we'll tell you what it needs and what it costs up front, and nothing gets replaced without you saying so. No pressure either way: get the tune-up, hear what we found, and decide from there.
A new door or a new LiftMaster opener is real money, and a broken door doesn't check your calendar before it quits. So yes — we have financing available. If a repair turns into a replacement, or you've been putting off the door you actually need, ask us about financing when you call. We'll lay out the options in plain numbers — what it costs, what it works out to — before you agree to anything. No fine-print games, no pressure: the same straight talk as the work itself.
If your job is scheduled between 8 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday, you pay our regular service call pricing — no after-hours charge. We'll work with your schedule to find a time in that window that fits you.
The only time an after-hours rate applies is an emergency call — when you need us out right away outside regular hours. If that's the case, we'll tell you the emergency rate up front before we roll. No surprises, and nothing snuck onto the bill.
Ranges are a guide, not a quote — door size, spring size, parts, and what's actually broken move the number. Insulated doors, wood doors, and oversized doors run higher. Any extra charge is told to you up front, never snuck onto the bill. Jobs scheduled Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, are always at regular pricing with no after-hours charge — after-hours pricing is for emergency calls only.
How it works
Call or text day or night — we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tell us your town and what's wrong — the request note builder below helps you get it all in one message. Best of all, send a short phone video of the door (see how to film it) — it helps us diagnose it and quote you a sharper price before we come out.
We show up, find the real problem, and give you one clear price before a single wrench turns.
No pressure. Say yes and we fix it on the spot in most cases. Say no and you owe the service call — that's it.
We run the door, test the safety reverse and sensors, and wipe everything down — springs, chain, and hardware — so no grease is left to drip on your car. We leave the garage cleaner than we found it.
The moment a truck is dispatched to you, you're kept updated throughout the whole experience — no sitting by the window wondering where we are. You'll get a link where you can track the truck: see where he's at and how far out he is, right up until he pulls into your driveway.
When you call in
When customers call in, we prefer a little video from your cell phone. A good description plus a short look at the door helps us diagnose the issue before we ever roll a truck — so we can bring the right parts and give you a more exact price before we come out, instead of guessing over the phone. Here's how to film it:
Start by telling us, in your own words, what's wrong: what the door is doing (or not doing), what it sounds like, and when it started. A proper description plus the video tells us most of the story before we leave the shop.
Take your phone out to the garage and walk it around the door, nice and slow. Film the whole door running if it moves safely — and if something looks broken, hold the camera on it for a few seconds so we can see it clearly.
Don't just film the front. Pan the camera all the way around the door and its hardware:
That short video helps us spot the real problem — a snapped spring, a frayed cable, worn rollers — before the visit. That means fewer surprises, the right parts on the truck, and a more exact price quoted to you before we come out. A couple of minutes of filming can save you real money.
Filming is all we ask — never put yourself under the door to do it. Do not get underneath the door at all if it's hanging or off track. Film from the side, from a safe distance, and don't try to lift it, force it, or touch the springs and cables. If the door looks like it could fall, step back and just describe it to us — your safety comes before any video.
Before we get there
Whether it's a repair, a maintenance visit, or an install, a few minutes of prep lets us get straight to work — and get done faster. Here's all we ask:
Have the area around the door clean and free of debris. Move boxes, tools, bikes, and anything else stored up against the door, the tracks, or under the opener, so the tech has room to work safely.
Keep the driveway open and clear so we have free access coming in — room to park, unload tools and parts, and move the door without working around vehicles.
Please put dogs up before we start — inside the house, in another room, or secured away from the garage. It keeps them safe around a heavy moving door, and keeps the tech safe too.
Children are not allowed in the work area while we're working — no exceptions. A garage door, its springs, and our tools are no place for little ones to wander through. With the area clear, we can work expediently and everybody stays safe.
Our techs show up with ID, so you know right away it's ProTech at your door — check it before you let anybody in. On the job, our techs wear body cams, but the camera is on the work only: the door, the springs, the parts, and the condition of your garage when we got there and when we left. We're not recording people's faces, and we're not gathering personal information. It's there for one simple reason — so there's a clear record of what we found, what we did, and proof we didn't damage anything in your garage or your home. Nothing hidden, nothing to take our word for — you can see it for yourself.
White-glove service
You just have to pay attention. That's the whole secret — and it's how we work in every garage, whether there's a work truck in it or a Ferrari. We can work around high-value items safely, and we're insured while we do it: a $1 million general liability policy and a $200,000 business auto policy standing behind every visit.
Some garages hold a lawn mower and a couple of boxes. Some hold a fancy sports car — a Ferrari — in a rich, clean, showroom of a garage. We work in both the same careful way: like everything in there matters, because it does.
When you spray the springs or tighten the chain and lubricate things, you wipe it all down — every time — so grease does not drip on their cars. No overspray on the wall, no drips on the hood, no fingerprints left behind.
And if the job is a spring job or a tune-up next to something high-value, we slow down, protect what's around us, and pay attention to the details other outfits rush past. That's white-glove service — and we're insured for it.
You don't just spray the springs down. When we lubricate them, we put a piece of cardboard behind the springs first — because you don't want to spray oil all over their wall. The spray goes on the spring, not on your house.
We wear booties over our shoes when we enter your home. Your floors were clean when we got there, and they'll be clean when we leave — that's just respect for somebody's home.
We wear gloves while we work — rubber gloves, surgical and mechanic's gloves — so we don't leave fingerprints everywhere. On your door, your opener, your walls, and anything else we touch.
After we spray the springs, tighten the chain, and lubricate everything that needs it, we wipe it all down. Grease that isn't wiped off today drips on your car tomorrow — so it gets wiped off today.
Our warranty
Our warranty is as big as Texas — and we stand tall and proud behind it. With our garage door warranty and service, we protect and extend the life of your original investment and add value and curb appeal to your home. Our limited lifetime warranty covers parts and labor, and we put it in writing — all backed in writing. No fine print, no runaround: if something we installed fails, here's exactly what's covered.
The parts we install — springs, rollers, openers, and hardware — are covered under our limited lifetime warranty on parts. If a part we put in fails under that warranty, the part is covered — and it's all in writing, so you don't have to take our word for it.
Our labor is covered too — under the same limited lifetime warranty, all backed in writing. If something we did isn't right — an adjustment slips, an install needs correcting — call us and we come back and make it right. We stand tall and proud behind our work.
Our garage door service package and warranty are transferable. If you're selling your home, the coverage doesn't end at the closing table — it goes with the house to the new owner, so they step in protected from day one and you have one more real value to hand them.
Same for landlords and flippers: if you're renting it out or turning it around, we can package the service package and warranty up for your new buyers — clean paperwork, in writing, ready to pass along. It's protection for the next owner, peace of mind for you, and added value in the deal.
Just tell us before or at the sale and we'll get the package transferred and documented for the new buyer — no runaround, no starting over. There's a one-time $25 transfer fee — that's it, one flat fee to move the warranty and maintenance program over to the new owner.
A warranty plan only works if the door is in the shape the tech says it needs to be in. So here's the rule, said up front: if you choose not to fix what the tech suggests needs fixing, we can't offer you a warranty plan. That's not a punishment and it's not a sales trick — we just can't stand behind a door that's still carrying a known problem.
And it's entirely your choice. If you decide not to make those fixes, we'll still do the work you asked for, charge you exactly what was quoted, and wish you well — no pressure, no hard feelings, no pushy follow-up.
If you do fix what was suggested and sign up for a warranty plan, we'll work discounts in there for you — on the plan and the work — quoted in plain numbers before you agree to anything. Fix it right, get covered, and save a little for doing it the right way.
Our limited lifetime warranty covers parts and labor, per the written terms you get with the job — it's all backed in writing. Damage from accidents, misuse, or work done by others isn't covered — but if you're ever not sure, call and ask. We'll tell you straight.
Your customer portal
Every customer gets their own portal. No digging through texts, invoices, or memory trying to remember who came out or what it cost — it's all logged for you, door by door, visit by visit.
See your full history with us — every call you've ever placed, when it happened, and what property and door it was for. Nothing gets lost.
Know exactly who was on your property for each job — which tech came out, when he arrived, and what visit he was there for.
What we found, what we fixed or replaced, and what shape the door was left in — written up for every visit, so you never have to take anyone's word for it.
The price for every job, right there next to the work — what you were quoted, what you paid, and what it was for. Clean records for your files and your taxes.
This is where the portal really pays off. If you've got a property with several garage doors on it — five, twenty, sixty or more — every door and every unit lives in the same place. Pull up any door and see its whole history: every service call, every tech who came out, what was done, and how much it cost. No more guessing which unit got new springs last year, or paying twice for the same repair. One portal, every property, every door, every dollar — accounted for.
The old-school way
If it can be repaired, we repair it. If a $40 part fixes it, we won't sell you a $700 opener. You'll hear what's wrong in plain words, not sales talk. And when we make a deal, it's a deal — sealed with a handshake, and stood behind like one.
We're a fair company, and the price is the price — quoted before work starts and honored when it's done. No "while we're in here" add-ons you didn't ask for.
Plenty of outfits out here fix it fast, charge hard, and never want to see you again. That's not us. ProTech provides old-school service: we take care of our customers like family, we want to see you again at the store, and we'd rather keep your door running for years than sell you a new one you don't need. The crew is based right here in Ennis — your call or text goes straight to dispatching a local tech, not into some out-of-state queue.
Our warranty is as big as Texas — a limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor, and we put it in writing. We stand tall and proud behind it: if something we fixed isn't right, call us and we come back and make it right. See our warranty for the plain terms.
Our technicians are trained, certified, and background-checked — tested and held to a standard before they ever touch your door, and Texas friendly to boot: you'll get a straight answer and a big Texas smile from every tech who rolls up. And the company is covered while we work: a $1 million general liability policy and a $200,000 business auto policy. That's real protection for your home, your property, and you — not just a handshake promise, even though we'll give you that too.
"Mama said things are like a box of grasshoppers — you just never know what's going to jump out at you. With us, you do: honest work, an affordable price, and a big Texas smile."
Giving back
This is ProTech's way of operating, plain and simple: every year, we give away 5% of our profits to 12 different charities. It's not a promotion, it's not added onto your bill, and it doesn't change your price — it comes out of what we make, because that's how we believe a company ought to run.
Why do it? Because that's how we get back to each other. Giving is how a community gets closer again — how neighbors become family and friends again instead of strangers. A garage door company can't fix everything, but it can do its part, out in the open. We also proudly support Raise Your Hand.
Every invoice we send out carries a note at the bottom about our giving — how much of our profits we gave and where it went. We're not asking you for anything. There's no donation added to your bill and no tip-jar pressure — it's just mentioned, so you can see it for yourself and know that doing business with ProTech put a little good back into the world too.
“Do something good for humanity — it'll make you feel good, I promise.”
That's Kevin's motto, and it's printed right there with it — because it's the whole point.
Where we run
Home base is Ennis — a city in Ellis County, Texas — and we now serve all of Ellis County: sales, service, and repair, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also run regular routes down into Navarro County. Outside the list? Ask — if we can get there and do right by you, we will.
A garage door spring holds enough tension to seriously hurt somebody, and a door with a snapped spring can weigh 200 pounds or more. If you heard a bang and the door won't move, don't force it, don't pull it up by hand, and don't try the spring yourself — park outside if you can and let us handle it. It's the one job on a house that really can bite.
Request a repair
Fill in what you know, tap the button, and the page writes up a clean, ready-to-send note. Heads up: the business phone number isn't posted yet — it goes right here the moment it's live. Until then, build your note and hold onto it, so the second the number's up you can send it in one tap. The clearer the note, the faster we can quote you.
For the business — getting the word out
Garage door work is an emergency business — nobody shops around for fun, they search when the car is stuck in the garage. So the best advertising is being the first honest name people find in that moment, and the name neighbors repeat after. In order:
This is the big one. When someone in Ennis searches "garage door repair near me," Google's map listings get the calls. Set up the free profile with the business name — ProTech Residential Garage Door Service — service area, hours set to open 24 hours, and photos of real work — and ask every happy customer for a Google review. Reviews are what move you up the list.
One link to put on everything — truck, cards, posts, profiles. People check a website before they trust a stranger with a 200-pound door, and the price guide on this page is what makes folks call us instead of the big-city outfits.
Ennis, Waxahachie, and Ellis County neighborhood groups are where "who do y'all use for garage doors?" gets asked every week. Be in there, be helpful, answer questions without a hard sell, and let satisfied customers tag the business name.
A clean truck with the name and phone number in big letters is a rolling billboard on every job. A small yard sign left (with permission) during a job gets seen by the whole street — the street most likely to need the same work.
After a job, hang a simple door hanger on the five houses to each side — same-age houses have same-age springs. Leave two referral cards with every customer: one for them, one for a neighbor. Word of mouth is the cheapest advertising there is.
Once reviews are coming in and the phone is ringing, Google's Local Services ads put the business at the very top, and you pay per call, not per click. Worth it later — not needed on day one.
Lead-selling sites love to sign small shops up "free" — then charge per lead, per month, or per "activation" until the bill is bigger than the jobs. Before signing anything or handing over a card: ask what it costs to activate and actually use, what each lead costs, and how you cancel. If they won't say it plain, walk away. Free should mean free.
Good questions
When you call us, ask these questions right there on the phone, before you commit to a truck roll. Do we charge just to come look at it? Do we charge after-hours prices? Every answer below is one you should hear before anybody rolls a truck to your house — and we'll answer every one of them straight when you call us.
Shopping us against other companies? Good — shop smart. Ask the other guys these same questions, every one of them, before you do business with them. Use this list as your checklist for any company, not just us — before you commit to a truck roll with anybody.
If a company can't do just one of the things on this list — won't tell you the price up front, won't put the warranty in writing, isn't properly insured, or won't stand behind the work — don't let a low price talk you into them anyway. A cheap price on a job done wrong can cause you a life of misery: the same breakdown again and again, a door that never runs right, and nobody who'll come back and make it right. Compare the answers first, then the price. The fair price from a company that can do all of it is the real bargain.
Yes — a service call runs $65–$95, and it's applied toward the repair if you have us do the work. If you decide not to repair, that's all you owe.
Not for regular scheduled work. If we schedule you between 8 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday, it's our regular service call price — no after-hours charge — and we'll work with your schedule to find a time in that window that fits you. After-hours pricing only applies to an emergency call, when you need us out right away outside those hours. We'll always tell you which rate applies before we come out.
Always. We diagnose first, quote one clear price, and only start when you say go. The quoted price is the price.
No — don't just buy by price. If you're shopping around, ask every company the questions on this page, and if one of them can't do just one of these things, don't let a low price cause you a life of misery. A door done cheap and done wrong costs you more in repeat calls, headaches, and repairs nobody will stand behind. Judge the answers first — then decide if the price is fair.
Yes — 24/7 is how we run. A spring can snap at midnight or on a Sunday, and a car stuck in the garage can't wait until Monday. Reach out anytime; doors that won't open and cars stuck inside jump the line. Being open 24/7 doesn't mean everything costs extra, though — work scheduled Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, is regular pricing with no after-hours charge. After-hours pricing is only for emergency calls.
Often, yes — especially for doors that won't open and cars stuck inside, which jump the line. And since we're open 24/7, "same day" includes nights and weekends.
Then we don't just say "sorry, nobody's available" and leave you hanging. We'll do our level best to get there ourselves — and if we truly can't, we'll help find someone who can, someone we'd trust in our own garage. One way or another, help is coming, so you can stop worrying about it. That's our promise: you called us, so the worry is ours now, not yours.
If both springs went on the same day, they're the same age, and the second one is usually near the end of its life too. Replacing the pair costs less than a second service call in a few months — but it's your call, and we'll tell you honestly how the other one looks.
For repairs, yes — we service most major opener and door brands, and if yours needs a part that's no longer made, we'll tell you straight and lay out your options. But when it comes to selling you a new opener, we sell LiftMaster only. One brand, the one we trust — that's the deal.
Usually it's worn rollers, dry hinges, or a door out of balance — all cheap to fix now, and all harder on the opener the longer they go. A tune-up quiets most doors down, and a fresh set of nylon rollers can make a loud door sound new again.
Simple: a full tune-up for $89 — lube, balance, tighten, a full inspection of springs, cables, and rollers, and the complete safety check. If the door needs parts, parts are additional, and we'll tell you the cost up front before anything is replaced. Nothing is added without you saying so, and there's no pressure to do more than the tune-up.
Simple: we put your door on a schedule and come out to lube, balance, tighten, and inspect it — springs, cables, rollers, sensors, auto-reverse. You hear about wear while it's still a small, cheap fix, not after the spring snaps with the car inside. The first visit starts with the $89 tune-up special, and your program price is quoted up front from there. No contract tricks, no fine print — it's the old-school way of taking care of customers.
Yes — we do those too. We service and repair wood, cedar, and custom-made doors, and when we sell you one, we install it: measured for your opening, balanced with springs and hardware sized for the wood's weight, and the old door hauled off. Because sizes, woods, and designs vary, those are quoted up front — send a photo or video of what you have, or what you want, and we'll price it plain.
A chain drive pulls the door with a metal chain — tough and usually the lowest-priced, but the loudest. A belt drive uses a steel-reinforced rubber belt instead — just as strong for most homes and the quietest, which matters with a bedroom over the garage. A screw drive rides a long threaded steel screw — fewer moving parts and low maintenance, with noise in the middle. See the opener guide with pictures for the full rundown.
It's a LiftMaster smart opener, powered by myQ. It connects through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to your home internet and to an app on your phone. The built-in camera lets you see inside your garage live from your phone, you can open and close the door from the app, and you get an alert whenever the door moves. We sell and install it, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and walk you through the app before we leave.
Plain rule: we can only offer a warranty plan on a door that's been brought up to the shape the tech recommends. If you choose not to fix what the tech suggests needs fixing, we can't offer the plan — no pressure and no hard feelings, that's your choice, and we'll still do the work you asked for at the quoted price. If you do make the suggested fixes and sign up for a plan, we'll work discounts in there for you, quoted in plain numbers before you agree to anything.
Installs aren't our main line — maintenance and service work are. But if your door is truly worn out, or we sell you a door, then yes: we install it, set it up right, and haul the old one off. What we won't do is push a new door on you when a repair or a set of rollers would fix what you've got.
Yes — we do new construction too. For newly built homes we measure the rough opening, supply and install the door, tracks, springs, and hardware, and fit a new LiftMaster opener with remotes, keypad, and safety sensors set up and tested before handover. We work with builders and homeowners, on one house or a run of homes, and steel, wood, cedar, and custom-made doors are all available. Pricing is quoted up front by plan, size, and door — send us the plans or the opening size and we'll price it plain.
Yes. Once we dispatch a truck, you'll be updated throughout the whole experience, and you'll get a link where you can track the truck — see where he's at and how far out he is, so you know when to expect him.
Every customer gets their own portal where you can track your complete history with us: every service call, every tech who came out to your property, what work was done on each visit, and how much it cost. It's your record of the job — all in one place, whenever you need it.
Yes — that's one of the best uses for it. Whether a property has a handful of doors or sixty or more, each door's service history is tracked separately in your portal: every call, every tech, what was done, and the cost. It's built for landlords and property managers who need to know what's been done — and what they've paid — across every unit.
Yes — every one. Our technicians are trained, certified, and background-checked before they ever come to your home, and Texas friendly besides. They also show up with ID, so you can check who's at your door before you let anybody in. And we're insured too: ProTech carries a $1 million general liability policy and a $200,000 business auto policy — so your home and property are protected while we work and while we're on the road to you.
No. Our body cams record the job only — the door, the hardware, and the condition of the work area when we arrived and when we left. They're not there to record people's faces or collect personal information. They're there so there's a clear record of the work itself, and proof we didn't damage anything in your garage or your home.
Yes. Our techs show up with ID, so you know it's really ProTech at your door. Check it before you let anybody in — if the person at your door doesn't have ProTech ID, it's not us.
Our limited lifetime warranty — on parts and labor, all backed in writing. If a covered part we installed fails, it's covered, and if something we did isn't right, we come back and make it right. We stand tall and proud behind our warranties — it's as big as Texas, and we put it in writing.
Yes — our garage door service package and warranty are transferable. If you're selling your home, we can package them up for your new buyers so the coverage passes to them. It's the same for landlords and flippers: the package can be set up to go to the next owner, documented in writing. Just let us know about the sale and we'll handle the transfer paperwork — there's a one-time $25 transfer fee to move the warranty and maintenance program to the new owner.
LiftMaster's own warranty, tiered by part: lifetime on the motor — and on the belt too, for belt drives — 5 years on parts for Elite Series models (1 year on standard chain-drive models), and 1 year on the battery backup, camera, remotes, keypad, and wall control. Our limited lifetime warranty on parts and labor — all backed in writing — rides on top of all of it. The full breakdown is in the LiftMaster warranty section above.
Yes — financing is available. It's there for the bigger jobs: a new door, a new LiftMaster opener, or a repair that turned out bigger than planned. Ask when you reach out and we'll walk you through the options in plain numbers before you agree to anything.
Four things: have the area around the door clean and free of debris, leave the driveway open and clear so we have free access, put the dogs up, and keep kids out of the work area — they're not allowed in it while we work, so we can work expediently and safely. Also know that our techs show up with ID, and they wear body cams that record the work only — not faces or personal information — so there's a clear record we did the job right and didn't damage anything.
We white-glove it. When we lubricate the springs, we put cardboard behind them first so oil doesn't spray all over your wall. After we spray the springs, tighten the chain, and lubricate, we wipe everything down so grease doesn't drip on your car. We wear booties over our shoes when we enter your home, and we wear gloves — rubber, surgical, and mechanic's gloves — while we work, so we don't leave fingerprints everywhere. And we can work around high-value items safely — we're insured, with a $1 million general liability policy and a $200,000 business auto policy. See how we white-glove it.
Just about however works for you. We take Cash App, and card payments run through Stripe — so Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and the other major cards Stripe takes, plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where your phone offers them. We can also take Bitcoin — just mention it when you reach out and we'll walk you through it. Paying is the easy part: the price is quoted in plain numbers before work starts, and that's the price you pay.
Every year, ProTech gives away 5% of its profits to 12 different charities, and we print a note about it at the bottom of every invoice — including how much we gave. We're not asking you for anything: nothing is added to your bill, and there's no donation to make unless you just feel like doing some good on your own. It's simply mentioned so you can see it. Giving back is how we get closer to each other again — family and friends, not strangers — and we also support Raise Your Hand. Or as Kevin puts it: "Do something good for humanity — it'll make you feel good, I promise."
Please do — we prefer it. Film the door with your cell phone: describe the issue, then walk around it — up, down, left, right, forward, back, inside, and outside — so we can see the springs, tracks, cables, and panels. It helps us diagnose the problem and give you a more exact price before we come out, and that can save you money. One rule: stay safe. Never get underneath the door at all if it's hanging or off track — film from the side at a safe distance, and don't try to lift or force it.
