Our Service Guarantees
When you book a job with OnPoint Pro Doors, you are protected by written guarantees on parts, labor, and arrival timing. We do not hide behind asterisks or fine print, and we do not change the price between the quote and the invoice.
- 1-year parts and labor warranty on standard springs. If a torsion or extension spring we install fails inside 12 months, we replace it free including the call-out.
- 3-year warranty on high-cycle springs (25,000-cycle rated). For homeowners who use the door 4+ times a day, we recommend high-cycle springs because the standard 10,000-cycle units fatigue faster. The high-cycle warranty matches.
- 5-year motor warranty on LiftMaster openers. LiftMaster's factory motor warranty is the strongest in the industry — we honor the full term and handle any motor-related claim ourselves.
- 1-year full-system warranty on new openers we install. Including motor, rail, trolley, sensors, remotes, wall console, and labor.
- 90-day repair labor warranty. If the same issue recurs inside 90 days, we come back free, no diagnostic fee.
- On-time arrival guarantee. If we miss our 2-hour scheduled window without advance notice, the diagnostic fee is waived.
What Customers Say
Real verified reviews on Thumbtack and Facebook from homeowners across our service area. We have a 5.0 / 5 average across Highly Rated on Google and counting:

Mike R. · Garden City, NY
"Opener was struggling and the door kept reversing. Quick fix plus safety check. No pressure, just straight answers. Highly recommend."
Sara K. · Hoboken, NJ
"They replaced rollers and adjusted the tracks. Night and day difference — way smoother and quieter. Done in under an hour."
Anthony D. · Massapequa, NY
"Same-day install on a new opener. Clean work, walked me through the keypad and remotes, and hauled everything out. A+ from start to finish."
Jenna P. · Jersey City, NJ
When to DIY and When to Call a Pro
We tell every customer the truth: there are some things you can absolutely DIY, and some things you should never touch. Here's the honest breakdown:
SAFE TO DIY:
- Replacing remote batteries (9V or AA, depending on model)
- Cleaning and dusting photo-eye lenses
- Tightening bolts on hinges and brackets if visible (use a 7/16" socket; do not over-tighten)
- Lubricating tracks, hinges, and rollers with white lithium grease (NEVER WD-40 — it's a solvent and washes lubricant out)
- Reprogramming HomeLink in your vehicle
- Resetting the opener via wall-console reset button
NEVER DIY:
- Spring replacement — the springs hold 800-1,500 lbs of stored energy and have killed DIYers
- Cable replacement — same stored-energy issue, plus precise tension calibration
- Track adjustment when off-track — door will fall
- Opener motor or logic board work — voltage hazard plus calibration issues
- Anything involving disconnecting the spring stack
If you've already started a DIY repair and the door is now in a worse state, we don't lecture — we just fix it. The "you started it" surcharge does not exist on our invoices.

Craftsman Garage Door Failure Patterns We See in NYC
Craftsman doors and openers have specific failure modes our technicians see weekly across NYC, Long Island, and northern New Jersey. Knowing the pattern shortens the diagnosis from a 45-minute teardown to a 5-minute visual confirmation, and lets us stock the right replacement parts on the truck before we knock on your door.
The most-common Craftsman symptoms we receive calls for: opener LED diagnostic codes (count the blinks — every Craftsman model encodes a different fault into the blink pattern), trolley/carriage detachment from the chain or belt (audible "thunk" then door drops), gear-sprocket stripping inside the head unit (grinding noise on the open cycle, motor runs but door doesn't move), photo-eye misalignment from the LED-receiver pair (door reverses immediately on close attempt), force-limit auto-shutoff when the spring system is out of balance (door stops 6 inches off floor and reverses), and remote-pairing loss after a power-cycle event.
The structural side of Craftsman doors — torsion springs, lift cables, rollers, hinges, panel sections — fails on the same physics-driven timeline as any brand: 10,000 cycles of factory torsion springs, 6–10 years of cable life, 8–12 years of nylon/steel rollers depending on grade. The Craftsman hardware spec is generally midrange-to-premium and we stock cycle-life-upgraded replacements (25K and 50K springs, 13-ball-bearing nylon rollers, 7-strand galvanized cables) that outlast the factory specs.

We carry torsion springs, cables, rollers, photo-eyes, hinges, weather seals, and the most-common LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain, Marantec, and Wayne Dalton parts on every truck.
Craftsman FAQ — Owner Questions
- How long do Craftsman garage door springs last?
- Craftsman factory torsion springs are typically rated for 10,000 cycles. On a 4-cycle-per-day household (typical NYC residential), that's about 6.8 years of life. Heavy users (8 cycles/day commuter household + teenagers) burn through factory springs in 3–4 years. We replace with 25K-cycle galvanized springs as our default upgrade — the cycle life triples for an extra $40–$80 in parts cost.
- What does it cost to fix a Craftsman garage door opener in NYC?
- Diagnostic visit $59–$99 (waived if you authorize the repair). Common Craftsman repairs: gear-sprocket replacement $180–$280, logic-board replacement $220–$380, complete motor replacement $420–$720 for residential ¾ HP. Photo-eye replacement runs $140–$220 for the Craftsman-OEM beam-pair. Quote is given in writing before any work begins.
- Should I repair my old Craftsman opener or replace it?
- Replace if: the unit is 15+ years old (logic boards are obsolete), parts cost exceeds 60% of a new ¾ HP belt-drive ($520–$820 installed), the head unit is showing thermal damage or smoke, or the original drive is chain (belt is quieter and lasts longer). Repair if: the failure is a single component (gear sprocket, photo-eye, capacitor, remote receiver) and the head is under 10 years old.
- Are Craftsman parts compatible with other brands?
- Springs, cables, rollers, hinges, and tracks are universal — any brand fits any door of the matching weight class. Craftsman-specific parts (logic boards, drive belts, trolleys, remotes, keypads, photo-eyes) are NOT cross-compatible — you need a Craftsman-OEM replacement or a verified compatible aftermarket. We stock OEM only for the brand-specific components.
- Can you reprogram a Craftsman keypad without the original code?
- Yes, in 15–25 minutes. Every Craftsman opener has a Learn button on the head unit that resets the receiver memory and pairs new remotes/keypads. We charge $59–$129 for the visit (per-trip) including the reprogramming. If the keypad housing is cracked or weather-damaged, replacement runs $120–$180 for the keypad plus the programming time.
- Do you install new Craftsman openers in NYC?
- Yes. ¾ HP belt-drive Craftsman (the residential workhorse) installed runs $520–$820 — that includes the new opener, new safety sensors, new wall-mount control, three remotes, removal/disposal of the old unit, and a 1-year workmanship warranty on top of the Craftsman manufacturer warranty.
- What does the LED blink-code on my Craftsman opener mean?
- Count the blinks. Each Craftsman model series uses a slightly different code map, but common patterns: 1 blink = sensor wire problem, 2 blinks = sensor power short, 3 blinks = sensor disconnect, 4 blinks = sensor misalignment, 5 blinks = control circuit, 6 blinks = motor circuit. If you tell us the model and blink count when you call, we can usually quote the repair before the truck arrives.
- How long does a Craftsman opener last in NYC?
- 12–18 years for residential, 6–10 years for commercial cycle counts. NYC humidity and dust/pollen dramatically shorten that for openers mounted in non-insulated detached garages — which is why we recommend annual tune-ups (lubrication of trolley + chain/belt + roller bearings) to extend opener life by 30–50%.
- Will my Craftsman remote work after a power outage?
- Usually yes — Craftsman openers retain remote pairings in non-volatile memory through power loss. Exception: if the outage included a surge that fried the receiver, you'll need to re-pair. Hold the Learn button for 6 seconds to clear all paired remotes (yes, this includes everyone's remote) then press each remote's button while the LED is solid to re-pair.
- Do you service Craftsman commercial doors?
- Yes. Craftsman commercial 1¼ HP and 1½ HP head units, jackshaft mounts, high-cycle springs (50K and 100K), three-button stations, photo-eye safety, and time-delay-close circuits. Commercial diagnostic / first-hour visit runs $149–$229, parts at standard markup.
