    The technician from Tip Top, John, is very experienced and patient. He well answered my questions about my garage opener issue and explained clearly about various options. I changed my mind to switch from chain based opener to belt based opener after John had installed a part of chain based opener. But John is still very friendly to change to a different opener.
    Great service and communication during the whole process! Would love to reach out to Tip Top again for other garage repairs in the future.

    Got More Questions?
    We’re Here to Help

    Is a battery backup required for garage door openers in California?

    Yes, per California Senate Bill 969, all new and replacement openers must include a battery backup to operate during power outages. We make sure every installation is 100% compliant.

    Do you install openers purchased from Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Amazon?

    Absolutely! Whether it’s from a big box store or online, we install customer-supplied openers regularly. We’ll make sure it’s properly set up and tuned.

    What’s the best type of garage door opener: chain, belt, or wall-mount?

    It depends on your needs! Chain drives are reliable and budget-friendly, belt drives run quieter and smoother, and wall-mounts save ceiling space—great for tight garages.

    How fast can you replace my garage door opener?

    In many cases, we offer same-day service if you contact us early in the day. We’re fully stocked with LiftMaster models and ready to roll.
