Anyone ever replace a garage door opener?

2 of 'em.  Maybe someday I'll have a house of my own that requires one ::)

Get a screw drive model if you can.  Damn near unbreakable, plus almost universally, they're quiet.  Not a big deal if your garage is detached though.

Lay out all the crap beforehand to make sure you have everything.  The first one I ever did was missing several pieces that required removing and bringing the whole darn thing back to the store.

It's really not that hard.  I think even Chad would give this a shot ;)

JackTucky:
Screw drives are louder.

My belt drives in my house are nice and quiet.  Oh, and they have a motion sensor that turns on the light when you walk into the garage.  That's the best feature.

What kind did you have?  I didn't think either of the screw drives I've seen were loud at all compared to the one they had in there.

The belt drive I have is uber quiet.  The brand new door makes more noise as it goes up and down than the opener does.
