Local matters for garage door motor replacement. In Lewisville and neighboring Hickory Creek, Highland Village, Coppell, and The Colony, the failures we address most are swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, all backed by our 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Weather matters more than most Lewisville homeowners expect. Local conditions — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity — drive corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, and salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Texas's humid subtropical region.
The short list of what goes wrong on Lewisville garage doors: swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
Motor replacement is the right move when the opener's motor or gear assembly has failed but the rest of the unit (logic board, rail, sensors, remotes, wall console) is still in good shape. On a 6–9 year old LiftMaster or Genie, motor or gear replacement is typically 40–60% the cost of a full opener swap and gives you another 8–10 years of life. We carry motor and gear assemblies for the major brands and most models from the last 12 years.
Sizing matters. A motor sized for a light non-insulated 8x7 door will burn out fast on a heavy insulated 16x7. We size replacements by measured door weight: 1/2 HP for light residential, 3/4 HP for standard insulated, 1.25 HPS for heavy insulated or oversized doors. If the original opener was under-sized, we recommend an upgrade rather than matching the underspec original.
After motor replacement, we re-program travel limits, re-calibrate force settings, and verify auto-reverse on an obstruction test. The full visit takes 90–120 minutes including these checks. We include a 2-year parts and labor warranty on the motor replacement.

Capacitor failure (cheaper fix) or motor windings (full motor needed). Diagnostic determines which.
Burning smell during operation
Stop using the opener — motor is overheating, possibly due to gear strip or under-sized motor on heavy door.
Audible grinding from motor housing
Gear assembly stripping or bearing failure. Continued use destroys the gear; immediate service preserves a $149 gear swap vs. a $349 motor replacement.
Door moves slower than it used to
Worn motor windings can deliver less torque, causing slow travel. Diagnostic confirms motor vs. unrelated issues.
Smoke from motor housing
Severe motor failure or wiring fault — unplug immediately and call for emergency service.
Common causes & what we fix
Capacitor age
Start capacitors dry out over 7–10 years and stop providing torque to the motor. Often misdiagnosed as motor failure. $25–$89 capacitor swap usually fixes.
Gear assembly wear
Nylon worm gears strip after years of cycles. The gear, not the motor, is failing — gear replacement is much cheaper than motor replacement.
Motor winding burnout
Genuine motor failure from over-load on heavy doors or sustained operation against an obstructed door. Replacement is the fix.
Power surges
Grid events damage motor electronics. Surge protection prevents the most common failures.
Bearing failure
Motor bearings fail at 12–15 years on average. Replacement is possible but often makes more sense as full motor swap.

Frequently asked about garage door motor replacement
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Motor Replacement near me ask us:
Lewisville's housing skews new — a median build year of 1996, only 15% built before 1980 — so most doors are first-generation: the common work is tune-ups, spring break-in, and opener setup rather than rust repair.
In Lewisville it is usually swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity — and because the area has mainly suburban houses with attached two-car garages, mixed with some older central-neighborhood homes, we also see a lot of moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Both are stocked on the truck, so most repairs are one and done.
Light non-insulated: 1/2 HP. Standard insulated: 3/4 HP. Heavy insulated or oversized: 1.25 HPS. We size by measured door weight, not assumptions.
Yes — capacitor test is part of the diagnostic. If it's just the cap, you save the motor replacement cost.
Under 8 years old: motor swap almost always. 8–12 years: depends on overall condition. 12+ years: full opener replacement usually better long-term.
90–120 minutes including diagnostic, motor swap, travel and force programming, and obstruction test.
