I recently bought a bank-owned house. They converted the garage into a living space and I would like to take it back to being a garage. I was hoping to install a garage door opener for the new door, and I was wondering how tall do the ceilings need to be in the garage in order for a garage door opener?

Currently, the ceiling is 7' 9" with the plaster on it, but I will be gutting the entire thing to redo the electrical.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
