I hired a new company, who is going to replace the bottom panel, which includes a 5 year warranty for parts and labor.
Do not use this company. They are not professionals.
A couple of days later when another contractor was here on another matter, he commented about how crooked the door was. When I told him it was the frame that was crooked, he pulled out his level -- something the installer did not do -- and showed me the header was 100% level. I noted that the ground probably was what's crooked, so he put the level to that too and found it only very slightly off, less than would be expected for a 55-year-old house in this soil, in fact.
That's when things became very unprofessional. The contractor sent another man, not the installer, who arrived 5 HOURS LATE, left his truck running w/lights on in the middle of my street, and came to the door with weather stripping to tack up. He didn't intend to take any time to inspect what the real problem was at all. He told me he was Tim. I told him weather stripping wasn't going to be enough of a fix, because the frame and ground are not unlevel, so the door must be adjusted to come down straight first. He insisted he knew the only problem is that my doorway isn't level, but when I asked him to get his level to see for himself, he didn't have one. He told me to get a tape measurer for him to prove it. I told him I was shocked a garage door installer coming to fix a crooked door had neither a level nor a tape measurer in his tool kit. With my tape measurer, he did the very obvious illusion tricks of holding it cockeyed on the side he wanted long, exaggerating his readings, etc. I called him out on it and tried to make him hear me out about the fact it wasn't shutting fully on one side to even begin a discussion about being level. He then went inside and adjusted my garage door opener (not their product) so it had maximum pull on the crooked side. It was still a big gap blowing air and leaves in, but at least my whole hand no longer fit under it. I told him that wasn't going to be enough to satisfy me. He called his boss, and in my presence told his boss multiple lies: that he had been there an hour already (it had been 15 minutes), that I came out of the house on his arrival screaming at him and wouldn't let him and quot;do anything,and quot; i.e. nail the ugly wide weather stripping he had in his hand across the bottom and call it done. I then got on his phone with his boss and told him his employee was lying, outrageously. When I asked the boss his name and he said Tim Cannon, I laughed and told him his employee ID'd himself to me as Tim. The fake Tim then told me they're both named Tim, but in the end Tim Cannon fessed up that that guy's name was not Tim at all. Still, Tim Cannon told me repeatedly that I was being unreasonable but assured me he would come out himself on another day to make sure I was satisfied.
He didn't initially make such an appointment, but after I complained to Costco, the company's HQ called me back and set up an appointment. Debra, in the Whitehouse Station office, told me DoorPro's owner had looked at the pictures and agreed with me that the ground and frame ARE level and that the door isn't coming down straight. She said the owner talked to Tim Cannon and explained what he needed to do to fix it.
Tim Cannon and the original installer came back, on time. About half of the appointment, at several intervals, was wasted with more of their hocus-pocus defensiveness about my door frame being unlevel, I guess not knowing I already had been advised the owner told TIm Cannon otherwise. Both men kept measuring and coming up with different numbers, one 1.75 inches and one 1.5 inches, when in fact I read 5/8-inch difference. The gap still was more than 3and quot;, so I finally said in irritation I would not discuss another word about levelness and they better get to work on straightening the door. They fiddled more with the opener and got it closer, then I again insisted they deal with the crooked installation issue. Still, the one side wouldn't go down fully; the bottom weather strip was flipped upside down against the vertical strip. When they took off the vertical strip to replace it, at my insistence, THEN they saw the problem: the rail, which was part of the installation, was crooked. I had been under the impression they used my old rails, which were fine and solid. The and quot;newand quot; rails are lightweight. Once they took that rail bend seriously, they got the door fixed quickly, within a level of straightness that I found acceptable. \
I think if the installer had taken the time or had a second person with him to notice the rails weren't straight during the original installation, before hooking the garage door opener back up and nailing on weather stripping that veiled the real problem, all this could have been avoided..
I asked them to put my garage door opener back with its tension set in the middle and as they found it, but I will have to hire another vendor to check their work. With so many lies in this process, I don't take them at their word they complied. They really shouldn't have ever tampered with the opener, as it was existing and not part of their garage-door installation. My fear is that my door opener is going to be prematurely worn or break soon due to what they did, but I can't prove that.
My conclusion is that this company's NJ shore contractor thinks it can get away with slipshod workmanship by just blaming the frame as being unlevel, with plausible deniability by not even carrying levels and tape measurers with them. I heard TIm Cannon grumble to the installer that only about 1 a year have this much trouble, but I find that hard to believe for a contractor with such systemic problems.
re doing. I have over-sized doors the estimate was convincing when compared to others.
