Nevada rules that apply here

Garage door installers are licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board in classification C-3 Carpentry, maintenance and minor repairs. Subclassification C-3d Overhead doors covers fabricating, erecting and installing guides, counterweights, tracks, weather stripping, automatic and manual controls, and all other equipment needed to install and run overhead doors (NAC 624.210). (source: Nevada Legislature)

For residential contract rules, the Board interprets "repair" to include replacing or doing routine maintenance on mechanical equipment in a completed single-family home, such as heating and air-conditioning equipment, plumbing fixtures, chimneys, garage doors and garage door openers (NAC 624.013).
