We know from both installing openers here at Spectrum Overhead and selling them at our sister company, Parts 4 Garage Doors. We are going to tell you why generally, LiftMasters are trusted by the pros. 

Who is LiftMaster?

LiftMaster is a part of the Chamberlain Group. The roots of The Chamberlain Group date back to the mid-20th century. The company initially began as a manufacturer of home and commercial door operators. Over time, they diversified their portfolio and expanded into the garage door opener market. Chamberlain makes three brands of garage door openers, Chamberlain, Craftsman and Liftmaster.

LiftMaster garage door openers are specifically targeted towards professional installers, differentiating itself from the DIY market segment. LiftMaster quickly gained a reputation for its durability, reliability, and innovative features.

Innovation

Liftmaster is generally known to be one of the innovators of the industry.

These types of innovations have kept Liftmaster as one of the most trusted brands among garage door professionals.
