A+ installation after only a 2 day wait. In preparation for their installation, I went to Home Depot and bought a Genie Garage door opener. It was a mistake that was well explained by the installer, Todd. He installed a Liftmaster garage door opener that is far superior in so many ways from the Genie I paid for at Home Depot for almost the same price for the equipment. So when you need to replace your Garage Door Opener, use American Garage Door Opener's equipment that they sell. The original installation price was quoted at $198 but, with their garage door opener, the total was $418. Given that the Genie was $170... that's only a $38 difference in price for a MUCH better garage door opener. I'm bringing the Genie back to Home Depot for a refund. Oh, and Todd had the door opener changed out within ONE hour. Great technician who has been doing this for over 20 years... and his experience was very evident. The installation is clean and perfect... which are words I have, sadly, been unable to use with all Contractors who have come to my house to work. So would I use them again for the other garage door opener when it needs replacement? Yes... and I'll recommend this company to family and friends.
Response from American Overhead Door
"Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are very lucky to have Todd as part of our team and are grateful you feel the same way!"

They came out quickly after calling for appt. Should have been a clue. But they arrived on time and I could have sent them packing before they did any work.

Jay arrived on time and assessed my situation. He advised replacing both springs and the pulleys. He completed the job in an hour, performing a "tune up" which included replacing the cables. The new springs and hardware are much more robust and makes the door much more sturdy. Open/closing is much quieter and more stable. Jay explained everything he was going to do, everything he did, cleaned up the old parts, and then explained everything on the invoice. Cost is very reasonable. Well done and would hire again!

Very well! Jay was extremely helpful, courteous,and professional. He went out of his way to smoothly solve any compatibility issues. There are quite a few fly-by-night garage door companies around. There seems to be good reason that American Overhead Door has the high ratings that they do. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat. They did it right the first time and on time.

From start to finish one of the smoothest business transactions I can remember. I called in the evening and received a call back the next day. I was given a very reasonable quote and their service man arrived right on time. Work was done quickly and done right. Price came in as quoted and our door is operating again, only now it is a lot quitter;-)

Very smooth and fast! The technician who came to my home to install the new garage door opener was professional, courteous and very efficient. He did an amazing job, cleaned up everything, didn't even leave the empty boxes or the broken opener for me to discard.

I contacted American Overhead this morning and spoke with Peter. He was able to walk me through what needed to be done. He sent a repairman to our home that same afternoon. Jay arrived exactly when he said he would. Jay made what seemed like a daunting task look relatively easy and assured me he would have me up and running in no time. I am a very satisfied customer and will definitely use them when the time comes to upgrade our current doors. Thank you!!
