Expert Garage Door Upgrade & Repair: LiftMaster Opener Installation and Weatherproofing in Elverta, CA

Project Overview & Location

A smooth-operating garage door upgrade is essential for both convenience and security, and our client was struggling with just that. Their garage door was producing a loud noise that was becoming a major inconvenience, and they realized the motor was outdated and needed an upgrade. Additionally, the bottom weather seal had started to dry rot, allowing water to leak into the garage—leading to further issues that needed attention. 

We replaced the outdated motor with a LiftMaster garage opener 87504-267 and installed a new plastic guide and garage door weather seal replacement, providing a seamless garage door upgrade that enhanced the door’s performance and the client’s daily convenience.

Client Concerns: Noisy Operation & Water Infiltration

The client reached out for a garage door opener replacement and bottom garage door weather seal replacement. Their primary concerns included a noisy garage door due to an outdated motor, as well as a desire to upgrade to a more modern and reliable opener. The dry-rotted bottom seal was allowing water to leak into the garage, and pests were entering through the gaps, further highlighting the need for repair. 

With these issues in mind, our team assessed the situation and provided a solution that addressed both the garage door’s performance and the environmental concerns caused by the damaged seal—by installing a LiftMaster garage opener in Elverta. 

Inspection & Discovery: Identifying Key Issues

Upon arrival, we immediately assessed the situation and discovered that the liftmaster garage door opener was an outdated Chamberlain chain drive system, which had become unreliable over time. 

Additionally, we noticed that the bottom seal was in poor condition, allowing water to seep in. The door itself was 30 years old and no longer in production, making it difficult to find replacement parts.
