I was extremely pleased with Steve and A-1 Garage Doors. The total service experience was far beyond expectations. Every step of he process was very satisfactory. This includes scheduling the appointment, explanation of pricing and services provided, the service call itself, and payment.
Description of Work: I have a 2 car insulated garage door at my home. Steve from A-1 Garage Doors arrived at my home two hours before his scheduled time. Which was perfectly fine with me! :-) I called A-1 initially to replace one broken torsion spring on my garage door. The person scheduling the appointment was very flexible in scheduling a repair for me today. Initially she suggested a time from 1-3 today. But, was able to adjust to a initially scheduled appointment window of 3-5. Ultimately, she said the technician would be out from 5-6 this evening. But, Steve showed up well before that time at 4PM. He was courteous to ask if it was o.k. that he was this early. And, of course it was o.k. that he was that early! :-) Actually, it was very refreshing! :-) After a brief discussion with the technician I was sold on replacing both of the springs. One spring would have cost $149.00. And, two springs were only $181.00. This alone sold me. But, Steve also mentioned that he's owned his home for 12 years and has a 2 car door. And, has had to replace his springs 3 times. So, he said that I was fortunate that these were the original springs on a 10 year old home and they have not broke. He said that he would suggest replacing both because chances are he would be out sometime later to replace the other one and i'd save money now by replacing them both. In total the service call lasted about 15 minutes from start to finish. Steve was very friendly, professional, and even took the time to ensure the door was working properly before leaving. Even outside of the work that was performed.

I thought I needed an 8' system, but wasn't sure. A-1 drove out to measure my door to be sure of its height, before replacing it. The owner looked at the old system, tightened some screws and now it works. I had had another company out 2 weeks ago, who blamed the malfunction on the photo eyes, and did nothing to get the system to work. A-1did not charge me for anything and lost some short-term business, but I'll definitely have A-1 replace my door when it finally dies. What an outstanding company, from the people who answer the phone, to the owner. They are obviously operating to earn long-term customers, not just money. I really appreciate an honest service provider!
Description of Work: I have an old Raynor door opener that is very finicky. I have had several repair companies out to repair it over the past 3 years. I was at the point of having it replaced.

They came out when I asked and fixed the problem fast. They did not try to sell me anything. Could not be more pleased with their work.
Description of Work: Garage door would not open when the sun was shinning. I had been told by another large overhead door company that the problem could not be fixed. A-1Garage Doors knew what was needed just from my brief description of the problem.

Our spring broke on our garage door. I initially called another garage door company that I have worked with in the pass, but they never called back (they still haven't called back!) So, I went to Angies's List and saw A-1 Garage Doors listing and thought I would just call them. Right off the bat the woman on the phone was as nice as nice could be! She took my info and with a couple things to check on she said she could squeeze me in the same day I called! She had service guy, Steve, come out and fix the door. Steve was a garage door repair wizard! I could tell he new exactly what he was doing and that he had a lot of experience. In a matter of minutes he flew around the garage, replace the door spring and even did some maintenance on the door itself! Awesome job! they are my new garage door people!!!!

I have used this company several times over the last decade and have always been very happy. They are always very responsive, very prompt, and priced fairly. This time we had an appointment set to install a new opener at a rental. The night before another renter called me with a broken spring. I called A-1 and they fit in this door into their schedule and handled both appointments one right after another. The employees are always very nice and always clean up. Would highly recommend.

Suddenly, the single manual garage door was very hard to close. Eventually, I saw a loose cable and called A-1 (after checking Angie's List, of course). They scheduled for the following Monday afternoon, called 1 1/2 hours before the scheduled time, and arrived 1 hour early. Darrell was highly efficient, obviously knowledgeable and skilled, and quite congenial. He re-attached the cable, lubricated the spring, and, while testing the door's movement, noticed a mis-alignment of the ceiling mount on one side and corrected the alignment. The door now operates at least as smoothly as when it was new (28 years ago).
Description of Work: Re-attached loose cable, lubricated spring, and adjusted ceiling mounting.

The service was performed quickly and professionally and the service man replaced only what was necessary, which saved us money in the long run. There was a small misunderstanding re scheduling, but that was satisfactorily resolved. This company seems very reliable and concerned with its customers.

Everything went just as planned. The technician showed up early (called first to confirm it was OK). The technician was courteous, knowledgable, and professional. The door was installed in about 2.5 hrs. No mess. No fuss. A very good experience.

They were on time, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. Price seemed reasonable. They will certainly be one of the places I call for an estimate when I replace the door in the near future. I am very happy with their service.
Description of Work: One of the cables broke on my old (probably 1969) garage door, trapping my wife's car inside. I called A-1 to get an estimate, and then made an appoinment to have it repaired. They came out on time, did the repair, and made some adjustments to the door.

This is a great company. When I called to set up a service call, the knowledgeable woman that answered asked what the problem was. I basically said that the single car garage door was very noisy when opening/closing and it seemed like it might be in the rollers or track. She then suggested that I lube everything before paying for a service call; but, by that time I had lubed it and I couldn't identify the problem, so we set the appointment. Steve the technician called me about an hour ahead of my appointment time and said he was ahead of schedule and was in the area, could he come early? That worked very well as I was here waiting for him anyway. When he arrived, he was pleasant, professional and diagnosed the problem immediately. He adjusted the width of the tracks on the single door. The tracks had somehow moved inward enough to squeeze the rollers which did not let them move freely. Steve said they may not have been installed properly or they may have moved with humidity and swelling of the wood around the door opening. He then looked at the double door in the garage (which I did not call them about because I didn't think it had a problem). He noticed that the connecting arm was traveling too close to the opener when the door was raised. Though this could have been a costlier repair had the shaft been bad, Steve said he thought it just need to be adjusted and that it may be fine thereafter. Again, very refreshing to have a service company looking out for my wallet instead of stating that I needed a costly repair. While Steve was at it, he lubed both garage doors. Again, I never mentioned a problem with the double door, but he took care of it anyway! The total bill would have been $85 (refreshingly low in my opinion), but Steve reminded me that there is a $15 Angie's List coupon. I happened to already have printed the coupon, but again, really nice that he brought it up when he didn't have to. Great company, great experience. Thanks A-1 Garage Doors and thanks Angie's List. Great job! We definitely have a new garage door company, A-1 Garage Doors.
Description of Work: Adjusted the width of the tracks on the single car door. Lubed all applicable parts as well as the spring. Also adjusted the travel on the double door. Lubed all applicable parts as well as the spring. Gave a brief, professional consultation on possible maintenance issues to watch for in the future and what to do if they should arise.

Wonderful experience! I called and was scheduled for service the next day. Steve showed up (early, even!) and was quick, courteous, and answered all my questions. I really appreciated how he saved us money with his honesty - by telling us that our garage door was designed to have 1 big spring, instead of 2 smaller, weaker ones! We have already made it a point to spread the word about this company. :-)

The bracket on the top panel of my garage door broke off the panel and contorted the door such that I could not get it to close completely (large gap at top of door). A-1 Garage doors came out and fixed my garage door so that it would be fully closed. While he fixed the door, I inquired about installing a new insulated garage door. The price was very reasonable. A-1 ordered the door and installed it a week later. The work was done very quickly and professionally and A-1 did not charge me for fixing the garage door! Overall, very satisfied with the quality of the door and the quality of the work.

We couldn't have better things to say about this company! I called with a "somewhat emergency" call -- my garage door wouldn't open. The receptionist (who was also very nice and professional) said he would arrive in @ an hour; he was here much quicker than that. "Steve" fixed the opening/mounting hardware. We also had him repair the seal on the bottom. He worked very quickly and did excellent work. He was extremely nice, professional, and we felt charged us a fair price. (We asked whether we needed a new garage door, and he told us no, the one we have is in excellent condition. We feel he is an honest businessman.) We will definitely use them again and have already referred him to others.

I described the issue I was having w/ my garage opener and it was instantly diagnosed. I was provided with two options, replacing the unit or having the gears replaced and re-packed. After consulting w/ Steve onsite, we decided to go w/ the latter. I was very pleased first and foremost w/ the punctuality as I had other obligations later that day that I moved. The work was completed in short order, Steve even helped me program my garage pad that had been sitting idle. I appreciated the fact that they provided several options and were very honest in helping me pick. I indicated that I found them on Angie's List but did not have the coupon but he honored it anyway. Top notch service, I wish more companies took the same approach.

EXCELLENT !!! AM very HAPPY !!! Thank you ! Saved $15 with their online coupon, that made it even better !!
Description of Work: Called Monday morning talked with C.W. about my garage door being broken, she was very nice, very professional. Steve was scheduled to come that afternoon between 3-4. He arrived about 10 minutes early, was very professional and nice as well. Took a look and and because I had an oversized two car garage door he did not have the right heavy duty spring in his truck to be able to fix it this trip. He apologized, said if they had it in stock he'd be back next day, if it had to be picked up it would be another day. No problem. CW called me next day and scheduled Steve back on wednesday again between 3-4 with the right parts. He was right on time at 3, again very nice and professional, had it fixed and all taken care of within 45 minutes ! I am a very happy customer !!! It's working great again!

I've actually used them on 4 occasions (always for completely unrelated things). The first time they came out a couple years ago when one of my 2 garage door opener motors died and they replaced it. They worked efficiently, were very knowledgable, and stayed after to help me set my cars and other garage door openers to work on the new door opener. The next time they came out to replace the spring on my single garage door. The third time they came out I was having issues with my door opening and closing spontaneously and they correctly identified the problem as my garage door opener remote as being the problem. They took out the batteries from this one remote and the issue hasn't occured since. They did not charge me anything for the third visit. The last time was to fix the last 2 springs. They're always very accommodating as far as scheduling and show up right when they're supposed to. Great experience.
