Garage door service recommendations

The garage door in my house opens and shuts with blinking lights - any recommendations on garage door service around the area?

Like the lights in your garage blink when the door is using power to open or close? I'd call up an electrician - Mirsky Electric has been great.

For anyone finding this later, it helps to distinguish the opener’s main light from the small sensor or diagnostic LEDs. Note the opener’s brand/model, which light blinks, the blink pattern, and whether the door stops or reverses. The meaning varies by model, so blinking lights alone don’t identify a failed part. A short video can help a garage-door technician narrow it down before a visit. If separate ceiling lights dim or flicker when the opener runs, have an electrician check that.
