The repair person was ahead of schedule, quick and the cost was very reasonable.
Description of Work: The repair person performed maintenance on the garage door opener. We feared a more expensive fix or replacement and were pleasantly surprised.

He was about 30 minutes late, but called at the appointment time to advise arrival time. He was knowledgable, courteous and professional, and also tightened some of the bolts/nuts in the garage door for stability. He did not have some of the tools he needed (asked to borrow WD-40 and a hammer) but otherwise it was a very smooth repair. I would recommend this company to friends and family.
Description of Work: A torsion spring on the double garage door broke on a Saturday, and both of our cars were trapped in the garage.. I called the Door Doctor and they came out and replaced both springs on Saturday afternoon, and only charged $10 more than for a M-F service.

EXCEPTIONAL. Couldn't have asked for more.
Description of Work: Garage door repair and installation of safety bumpers on a very large front door. Also emergency service on garage doors. Exceptional people to do business with. They responded promptly and professionally. Ultimate test came when we could not close one of the Garage doors one morning and had to catch a flight in 2 hours. Called their emergency number at 6:30 AM and their Tech came over in 30 minutes. The problem was not related to their previous visit but they fixed the door without any additional charge. They stand behind their work and go beyond to take care of their customers.

The Door Doctor gave us accurate quotes for all three projects they performed for us, installation was scheduled in advance and the work was performed on time. Their workmanship and professionalism is outstanding and I would use them again for other related projects we might have. The people are very friendly too - which never hurts.

When I initially called the company, the woman on the phone took the time and effort to diagnose the problem and provide an estimate. The price was reasonable, the work was done for the price given and I haven't had a problem since. I will use them again.

Left message before they got in. Got a call soon after they got in. Was able to schedule for same day. Got a call they were ahead of schedule so had them come early. Door fixed quickly and it's the happiest the door has been since we moved into the house over 8 years ago now. Even got a quick primer for regular maintenance.

We needed to replace a very old, original front door on our home. We looked at options for our door size (home built in mid-60's) and there didn't seem to be many options for fiberglass doors as it was not a standard-width doorway. We spent a little more than we wanted to in going for a solid wood door (had to because of these particular measurements), but were very pleased with Door Doctors work. They asked a lot of questions up front in their showroom to help determine which was the best door for us without blowing our budget (which direction did the door face - north, east, south, west, because of sun exposure; what hardware was best suited for our budget, which hardware was overkill, etc.) They repaired where there was some dry rot, installed new frame, door and all hardware. They offer an option to have the door painted or stained for an extra fee, but we opted to do that ourselves to save a buck -- no pressure and no problem. Very happy with the outcome and would use them again.

They will come out whenever I call them. I like that they will let me know when it is time to service the door. We have used them for all kinds of door issues. I like that they are local and I also like that they are a small company, so they know you and you know them.

Our four-unit condominum building hired The Door Doctors to install automatic garage door openers. Justin evaluation our situation, said that our existing doors were just fine (he could have sold us new doors like other companies wanted to do), listened to our concerns and needs, and came up with a solution. The doors are super quiet and work beautifully.The company was reasonably priced, always on time, and followed through on all details. I highly recommend them.

From requesting the original service to paying the bill it was a good experience.
Description of Work: A pin was missing in the shuttle that travels along the screw mechanism. It was quickly identified and replaced by the technician. The technician responded, right on the scheduled time I would like to add. He proceeded to perform a preventative maintenance on the door That it is working great now. It actually came in below the original estimate. Thank you Door Doctor!

Visited their showroom. Small, crowded space, with lots of people coming a going...looks like they have a steady business. Lady #1 gave us some ideas and wrote some ballpark estimates on a form. Estimator came out to measure as scheduled, but did not give anything in writing. I was not home when he came out, but the estimator talked to my husband. However, I had additional questions. About a week later, Lady#2 mailed us two-options for estimates. When I called back with my questions Lady#2 didn't have the answers and referred us back to Lady#1, who wasn't in that day. Everyone was nice enough, but it just wasn't going as smoothly as another company we'd looked into, plus the price was $100-200 more, depending on which option we chose.
Description of Work: Gave estimate for replacing a garage door with a "sandwich" sectional door, and opener. Because of support beam in the middle of our garage ceiling, we either needed to do a low-headroom track or a side-mounted motor.

Garage door had problem opening. Repairman identified problem as a broken gear. Company has policy of not working on side mount door openers and refused to repair it. They did offer to replace it with a very expensive new unit which would have caused me clearance problems. I then called West Coast Overhead Door. They inspected and found nothing wrong with the gear, but found a dirty sensor that they repaired by simply cleaning it. Cost was $100.

Door Doctor transported and installed a mahogany front door and two 1' by 9' windows on either side of the door. All fittings that were used were brass and came separate from the door. The door and windows had to have a certain amount of flexibility. The doors look great and the people at the Door Doctor were a real pleasure to do business with. The qualities of the products they sell as well as the service are outstanding.
