LiftMaster is the most common gate opener on Houston residential properties. The LA400 and LA500 are on driveways from Katy to Pearland. Most LiftMaster failures in Houston trace back to battery degradation, actuator arm damage from structural gate issues, or control board faults from power surges. We carry the most common LiftMaster parts on the truck for same-visit repair.

Battery replacement $80–$150. Actuator arm $100–$200. Transformer $100–$200. Control board $200–$350. Limit calibration is usually included in the service call at no extra charge. Firm price given on-site.
