Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Faulty Garage Door Opener
Without a functioning opener, you may be forced to manually open and close your garage door, which can be a hassle and time-consuming. This can be especially problematic during inclement weather, when you may not want to expose yourself to the elements.
A broken garage door opener can also lead to additional wear and tear on your garage door, springs and cables, potentially causing further damage and the need for more costly repairs down the line.
