We service and install every major garage door and opener brand sold in Hampton Roads, and the price tracks the job, not the badge on the motor. A Chamberlain belt or chain-drive opener installed runs $385 to $725, a wall-mount jackshaft runs $849 to $1,290, and opener repairs land between $140 and $349 on any brand. New doors from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton start at $1,450 installed for a single steel door. Every number is written down before we touch anything.

What each brand costs to service in Virginia Beach
Chamberlain Opener Installation in Virginia Beach
Chamberlain opener installation in Virginia Beach runs $385 to $725 installed for a standard belt or chain-drive trolley unit, and $849 to $1,290 installed for a wall-mount jackshaft. Both prices include two remotes, a wall console and HomeLink setup on the same visit.
The B6753T quiet belt is the unit we hang most often in Virginia Beach garages that share a wall with a bedroom. The C-series chain is the budget pick for a detached garage, and the RJO20 wall-mount frees the ceiling in a cathedral or vaulted bay. Our published 2026 cost index lists four Chamberlain belt-drive opener installs between $678.60 and $719, run in Virginia Beach, Williamsburg and Cape Charles between June and August 2026. Chamberlain and LiftMaster come off the same production line, so the parts on our truck cover both.
See the full Chamberlain service page or call (757) 777-3330 for a same-day window.
Craftsman Opener Service in Virginia Beach
Craftsman opener service in Virginia Beach costs $140 to $349 for most repairs, and a full replacement starts at $385 installed. Nearly every Sears Craftsman opener built since the 1990s is a rebadged Chamberlain, so the gear-and-sprocket kits, logic boards and safety sensors already on our truck fit it.
The three failures we see most on Craftsman units in Hampton Roads are a stripped drive gear (the door hums but will not move), a failed logic board after a summer lightning surge, and safety sensors knocked out of alignment. Sears no longer runs a local service arm here, which is exactly why these calls come to us. If your unit is past 15 years and the board is gone, replacing usually beats repairing.
Clopay Garage Door Installation in Virginia Beach
Clopay garage door installation in Virginia Beach starts at $1,450 installed for a single steel door and $2,290 for an insulated double. Carriage-house designs run $2,900 to $5,500 installed, and the quote covers the door, track, hardware, haul-away of the old door and disposal.
We hold dealer relationships with Clopay and Amarr, so a Clopay order is placed direct rather than through a middle supplier. On oceanfront and Sandbridge addresses we steer homeowners toward a wind-load rated model, and on any home within about two miles of the water we swap in galvanized hardware and stainless cables during the install instead of waiting for the salt to find the standard parts.
Clopay Garage Door Service in Virginia Beach
Clopay garage door service in Virginia Beach covers springs, cables, rollers, hinges and section replacement on any Clopay door. Spring pairs run $240 to $420, cable pairs $180 to $280, a 10-roller nylon set $140 to $220, and section replacement $320 to $780 installed.
We stock Wayne Dalton, Clopay, CHI and Amarr bottom sections, which matters more than it sounds. A car backing into the bottom panel is one of the most common calls we take, and having the section on hand means a same-week fix instead of a whole new door.
Amarr Garage Door Maintenance
Amarr garage door maintenance runs $129 flat for our 21-point tune-up, or $229 a year for the plan that covers two scheduled visits plus 10% off any repair. Balance, lubrication, hardware torque, cable and drum inspection and a full safety reverse test are all included.
Amarr doors hold up well here, but the coastal failure pattern is predictable: the bottom brackets and lift cables corrode from the inside long before anything looks wrong from the driveway. A tune-up on a salt-exposed door is not upselling, it is the cheapest way to catch a $240 spring job before it becomes a $580 cable and drum job. See the Amarr page for line-by-line door pricing.
People ask me which opener brand is best, and honestly that is the wrong question in this market. I have pulled 20-year-old Genie screw drives out of Kempsville garages that ran fine until the day they did not, and I have replaced three-year-old premium units that got cooked by one lightning strike off the bay. What actually decides how long your opener lasts here is whether the door itself is balanced and whether the hardware is rated for salt air. Get those two right and almost any brand will give you 15 years. David Yifrach, Owner · Seaside Garage Door Experts
Brand questions we get most
How much does it cost to install a Clopay garage door?
A new installed door starts at $1,450 for a single steel door and $2,290 for an insulated double. Carriage-house designs run $2,900 to $5,500 installed. Every quote covers the door, track, hardware, haul-away of the old door and disposal, written down before we start.
How much is Chamberlain opener installation in Virginia Beach?
A standard Chamberlain belt or chain-drive trolley opener runs $385 to $725 installed, and a wall-mount jackshaft runs $849 to $1,290 installed. Both include two remotes, a wall console and HomeLink setup the same day.
Do you still service Sears Craftsman garage door openers?
Yes. Nearly every Craftsman opener built since the 1990s is a rebadged Chamberlain unit, so the gear-and-sprocket kits, logic boards and safety sensors already on our truck fit it. Most Craftsman repairs run $140 to $349.
Can you replace one damaged section instead of the whole door?
Usually yes. We stock Wayne Dalton, Clopay, CHI and Amarr bottom sections. Section replacement runs $320 to $780 installed, which is far cheaper than a full door when only the bottom panel is damaged.
Does the brand of opener change the repair price?
Very little. Opener repairs run $140 to $349 across every brand we service, because the failure points are the same gear kits, boards, sensors and springs. In our published 2026 cost index the 11 opener repair invoices had a median of $149.
