Searched and did not seem to find a good thread for this.  So I will start one anew.

Old-ish garage door opener tries to go down when already in the down position.  Not feeling like DIY-ing it right now.  My most recent garage door contractor sold out, but it is not clear who he sold out to.

I've seen good reviews on Cedar Park Overhead Door.  What say the masses?  Let's crowd-source this...

Anytime Garage Door did good work for me last year.  I don't remember how I found them, but they sent somebody out the same day I called and they replaced my door the following morning.  Nothing remarkable about it, just an ordinary garage door and the opener with the wifi and everything.  Probably the same products and the same work than any other company could've done, but I was pretty pleased with their service and how quickly they got to it.

I have 2 guys who I have been using for approx. 8 years now & have sent them out to many hail damaged clients.

Tell them "that roofer guy" sent you.

I used Cedar Park Overhead Doors several years ago when a spring broke.  Another spring broke last month and they came out and retrofitted a different system that has one large spring along the front as opposed to the two springs along the side.

I've been pleased with their work and responsiveness.  It's not cheap, but I can't compare with anyone else.  I don't any are cheap - except maybe Fast and Fair Richard.

I bought a new $200 or so opener from Home Depot and just added the install for like $175.

Love having WiFi and a belt drive. Can quell my anxiety by checking on if it’s open when I’m gone, can close it if it is, and don’t wake up the whole family when I come home late from work.

Ended up using Cedar Park Overhead within a couple of days of the original message.  They installed a LiftMaster 84505R.  Belt drive, DC motor, Wifi, integrated camera, etc.  There are similar Chamberlain ones for around $200 at HD (I think what NoRagrets got), but the Liftmaster has some additional features (not sure it is worth the delta in price).  

Work quality was top notch, as was the response time.  Called, evaluated, installed, etc. all the same day.  Worth a premium over other alternatives.  Not sure I needed the feature premiums, but I have a functional garage door opener now :)
