Description of Work: The technician arrived about 30 minutes beyond the two hour window of time I was given. I couldn't see exactly what he was doing with the garage door, but he said something broke and it looked like it would be a bigger job than originally estimated. I said I couldn't afford any more. After a while he said it looked like it would be OK. I felt uncomfortable about that-thinking perhaps he was trying to take advantage of an elderly single woman. In the end, everything was fine and I paid the amount that was agreed upon. The door works just fine now.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
We are very sorry that you were not completely pleased with our work performance. Being punctual means we adhere to arriving at the appointed time. The window of time for each Big Deal is typically 4 hours, however, we allowed a 3 hour window and did in fact arrive within this period of time. During the replacement of the rollers, the cables unraveled which incurred an additional 15 minutes labor. This particular door had red flag issues with the door & track level, but was within the allowable 1/4" tolerance. A 30 minute evaluation and explaination was given to customer. It was conlcuded that her garage door could possibly run without any problems if the new concrete apron was installed properly and there is no heaving issues during the winter. This was a very complicated situation and I understand the homeowner's views. Our additional work was not charged as it was a matter of liability.

Description of Work: I purchased the $ 99 deal for reconditioning and roller replacement for my garage door. Before this service could even be perforned, springs on my garage door broke leaving it hanging on an angle, unable to be opened or closed. I called A1 since I already had purchased the coupon and they came out within a day and a half to repair the door and do the coupon general maintenance work. They were respectful of my time since I had another commitment in p.m. of day the work was done, very professional and completed all the work in about 45 minutes. I would recommend them.

Description of Work: I do not recommend due to terrible customer service. They came and replaced rollers and a section of the track. They said it would make the door less noisy and that it would roll better. We haven't noticed any change in noise nor rolling from before the tune up was done. They also adjusted the tension and said that if it was too sensitive, we could call and have them adjust it. Our door has had intermittent issues since they did this 'tune up' that it never had before - opening on its own and/or not shutting completely. This turned into a consistent problem, wherein the door would get almost all the way to the floor, but then would go up again. We swept the area numerous times, moved things away that were near the sensors, and swept the tracks. We looked for items on the floor and on nearby shelves that may be interfering, but the issue continued. I called and explained the problem and requested a service visit. The person I spoke with did not listen to me, stating that it was the owner’s responsibility to move things away from the sensors and suggesting other things that I needed to check and stating that there would be a charge for them to come out. Most of the suggestions were things we had already done, which I had to repeat that we had already done, and the other repair ideas were things that I didn't know how to do. If I DID know how to do them I wouldn't have called for help. He also questioned whether it was the work that they had done that had caused the problem. I had to repeat that this issue started happening after they did the work. Before that, we had no problems with the garage door. He seemed reluctant to come out and investigate, asking whether I wanted to try to fix it on my own before they came out. When I mentioned that I would call someone else if they didn't want to come, he snapped at me that they had an obligation to come out then slammed the phone down presumably to get the appointment book. In scheduling the service call, he was more interested in his schedule than mine. He stated they could come in the afternoon and when I requested a morning appointment, he replied that a window of 10:00 - 4:00 was the best they could do. Perhaps realizing that I was ready to call someone else - anyone else about this, he found that a 2-hour morning timeslot was available. Ultimately, I did call someone else and canceled the service appointment. We won’t be doing business with A1 Accurate Garage Door Company again.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
This client called stating that we were out "two months ago" and that the garage door has been reversing intermittently ever since. I explained that it could be an electric eye alignment or an obstruction and that she should check the sensors before we make the appointment, as it is the customer's responsibility to keep the sensors aligned. I mentioned that the electric eyes should be pointed directly at each other, as they can get bumped or become loose from the vibration of the garage door. Debris could also attach to a spiderweb and dangle in front of the electric eyes, causing the door to reverse. After requesting this from her she stated if we do not want to come out she will call someone else. I then tried to calm the situation and ease her disappointment with us. We proceeded to schedule an appointment for Thursday, April 19, between 10am and noon, as she could not find time for us to come on Wednesday. By adding her to Thursday's schedule it put a bind on the existing appointments for that day. She called back on Tuesday, April 17 to cancel the appointment for Thursday, April 19, stating that she had taken care of the problem. As stated in our service contract, all service, labor and parts are guaranteed for 30 days from date of service. When a customer calls, 60 days after our repair, complaining of a problem with the door reversing, it typically is an electric eye problem. In order to save the customer's time and money, we always suggest them to realign the sensors themselves. If an appointment is deemed necessary by the customer and we find the issue is the alignment of the electric eyes, normally we will not charge to realign them and chalk it up to good customer relations anyway. There are times the door will continue to intermittenly reverse after a tune-up has been performed on a door. This is caused by the spring shaft end bearings sticking or the opener gear or bushings failing. This is a problem that is difficult to detect when they are just beginning to fail. The client's garage door repair was completed on November 3, 2011. The repair included the garage door tune-up and roller replacement. The left-side garage door track was disintegrated from rust and was replaced, along with the #1 and #2 roller hinges and 2 jamb brackets. She voiced her first complaint on April 16, 2012 (4 months & 13 days after the repair) and a priority appointment was scheduled for April 19, 2012. Had the appointment been kept, she would have found our practices to be fair and honest. I am the owner of the company and do most of the Angie's List sales and service. We value all our Angie's List customers and will fairly resolve any issues. As far as slamming the phone down, I do not use a handset and did not slam anything down. I treated this woman in a professional manner and regret the miscommunication. It's great that you've provided your feedback but perhaps it would be a little more helpful if it was given immediately after the service was provided. We do not want any customer suffering 5 months with a door reversing. When dealing with a large number of customers on a given basis, it is difficult to remember every detail of each and every service call. This is our recollection of the service that was provided. Our records show no indication that you were so dissasatified.

Description of Work: This was a discounted price through Angies List for replacing rollers on our two garage doors. After it was completed we discussed pricing on doing some other needed work on the doors. They were on time and did a good job. Will probably use them to do the other work.

See 2nd and 3rd paragraph above.
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal from Angie's List for garage door maint for $99.00 for "reconditioning plus replacement of garage door rollers." Service person came on specified day and time. He had had a very busy day and was confused about which customer on his list he was currently calling on. We have two doors and he recommended that rollers be changed on the smaller door because it was squeeking, he wanted to adjust springs and lube the other door for $25.00 extra. That was fine, the price was reasonable. Then he stated the Big Deal calls for 10 rollers and we needed 12. The extra charge was only $2.50/ea for the 2 extra rollers. No problem, price was still reasonable. However, I had not read anything about 10 or 12 rollers in the Big Deal contract. It just stated "rollers." I shared this with the service person and he he disagreed. I wasn't going to argue with him about the $5.00 charge, the total cost was still acceptable to me. The service call accomplished what was expected, but I did not feel confidence in the service person. He had had a bad day, and perhaps I was the last customer on his list. I will not call on this company again.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
Before arriving, I placed a call to the member and realized I had called the wrong person. In my confusion, I did not sound professional. When I finally arrived, there was even more confusion. She did not know which door she should replace the rollers. So,spending 10 minutes manually running both doors, I concentrated on the small door because of the loud squeeking. This type of noise does not occurr too often and the sound was traveling through the steel track. With some reluctance, I decided this was the door I should replace the rollers on, even though I found them to be in excellent shape. After replacing the #2 roller I realized it was not sliding in the hinge jacket and caused the roller to tightly hug the track; causing the squeeking. The door ran excellent after completing the total maintenance package. The other door was also not running properly. The rollers were in good shape and even though she asked if she should replace the rollers on that door, I said to her replacing the rollers would be a waste of your money. All it needs is lubrication and adjustment. She saved $75 by not replacing the rollers & paying $25 for spring adjustment and lubrication. I do everything I can to be fair, honest and professional. Big Deal states: "Coupon is good for replacement of up to 10 rollers which is average for a standard 7ft. door, Additional cost of $2.50 a roller for 8ft. doors which will require more rollers"

Description of Work: This was a Big Deal. I had to schedule out at least a month due to my schedule and theirs. Very responsive, punctual. Kevin did the work and was professional and informative. He checked out my garage door and greased a bunch of rollers and told me what to look for in the next 5+ years. This was a preventative/maintenance job and I'm happy to have done it.
