We called A1 Accurate because we previously had them replace a broken garage door spring, and were pleased by the quick and professional service at that time. So when we noticed a fraying lift cable, it was natural to call the number listed on the sticker they left in the garage. I called on Friday for a non-urgent appointment, and a 3-hr window was setup for Saturday. Early on Saturday they called to ask if it would be OK to postpone until Sunday. We had no problem with that, because our door was still working, and other customers have urgent needs. Today the repairman arrived early within the 2-hr window. He was extremely professional and really hustled. He replaced the cables on both sides of the door in less than half an hour. In addition, he inspected the door, lubricated the rollers, and evaluated the spring and the opener. The door is working fine - we probably "dodged a bullet" by noticing the fraying cable before it broke. We may have avoided a much greater expense had the cable broken.

They were fine. He came and did what he said he would do for that price. I didn't have to pay anything else. He made it run quieter. I thought it was a good maintenance visit. They were very quick to set up an appointment for me. He showed up when he was supposed to show up, so I was happy about that. He was very nice in explaining what he was doing. He said he probably didn't need to do some of the things he was doing because the house was pretty new but he would do it anyway because it was what I paid for and he wanted me to feel like I got what I paid for. So that was nice.

They were prompt, professional, and quick. What really stood out was that my house was built in '94 and he had got it fixed, but there was just this one tiny squeak in which he didn't leave until he figured out where the squeak was and knew what it was. He had to do a lot to it and it was reasonable.

I have had problems with my garage door for the past few years. After a 2nd repair I purchased a Big Deal for a tune-up and roller replacement from A-1 Accurate Garage Door Co. At that time I was advised that I had the wrong springs installed, causing the door to lift on its own and the cables to unwind. I elected to do nothing about the springs at that time and now a year and a half later I had problems again. Had we taken the advice given by A-1, I could have saved myself additional time and money. Accordingly in my experience this companyis honest and not out to take advange of anyone.

Shortly after purchasing the "big deal", I scheduled an appointment to have the service performed. The person I spoke with gave me a several hour window in which the technician would arrive. This was not a surprise as I have come to expect this from service technicians. However, I did not expect that the technician would not arrive until 10 minutes before the end of the time window I had been given. In addition, he or someone from the company did not call to notify me that he would be running behind. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him get to work. It quickly became evident that he was in a hurry, likely because it was late on a Friday afternoon and he was ready for the weekend. He replaced the garage door rollers which helped to smooth out the operation of the door. He then performed the "thorough" inspection which consisted of him running the door up and down several times and watching it operate. He did not make any adjustments and proceeded to inform me that our opener was going to fail soon seeing that the force required to run the door up and down was maxed out. He then proceeded to tell me that he could inspect the internals of the opener but that would cost extra. He said he would grease the internal gears but that I would be better off doing it myself after buying some grease. Needless to say, I was disappointed with the overall experience and will not be inclined to do business with this company again in the future. One positive note is that the new rollers do in fact work well although I had to grease them myself to minimize the squeaking. In addition, our opener is still running just fine!
Description of Work: I purchased this "big deal" because our garage door was in need of a tune-up. The deal was also to include new rollers or a new wireless keypad. We elected to have the rollers replaced and expected a thorough once over of the door and the opener.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
You were given a window of time in which we would arrive. The technician arrived with that window of time. Surprise surprise! Why would we call when we made it on time? We take most Angie's List reviews seriously. This garage door technician that you said was in a hurry is actually one of our most efficient technicians and also works weekends!!! Running the garage door up and down a few times is more than enough for a mechanical inspection. Your garage door opener would only operate at full force.The garage door itself runs smoothly, however your garage door opener is shot and you could have extended the life by paying $25 to grease the parts internally. The garage door technician only suggested you do it yourself to save money. So it's been a full -year and your opener is still working. Does that mean we lied and gave you dishonest advice? I wonder how many times you had bad experiences with service technicians. Is it your inability to trust anyone? Your positive note does not make sense, as the rollers are pregreased. The lubrication will not run dry for at least 20,000 cycles. When the rollers are dry they do not squeak; they click.

The company was punctual. Beyond that I am extremely disappointed. Immediate communication was provided about economic factors as well as discussion regarding this list review. Communicating regarding other members leaving negative reviews. That should have been a tip. Every movement required a discussion and need for additional monetary compensation. One thing led to the next. One repair led to "noticing" another factor that needed repair. Not knowing fact from fiction I authorized additional repair only to then be told well this could involve extensive repair. I could see the estimation of what needed to be done was inaccurate and one thing led to another where I felt there would be no end. Now I look at my garage doors and BOTH are crimped and damaged bent at the joints and hinges just months after adjustments and repairs were made. The garage doors are both damaged bent buckled obviously to an untrained eye. The quality of the work performed is unacceptable and I paid for the doors to be repaired only to see damage to them just a few months later and one of the doors is very infrequently used.

You have absolutely no basis for this review. Reviewing your work order invoice dated November 5, 2012, this is exactly what it states: "Left door – 3/4 horsepower opener – carriage jamb against back bolt. Checked opener unit could not find any obvious reason why this occurred". Conclusion- You paid for two roller and tune-up deals for both your garage doors, serious issues became obvious as the tune-ups were performed. You were advised during the tune-up that it did not cover other problems that we detected. The complete tune-up for both doors was $198 and $25 for re-synchronizing the chain on your garage door opener. You decided not to have any additional repairs. The work order also states: Left door has wrong spring installed 8 x 7 to a sandwich steel door with .243 x 1.75 x 30 – too strong at 30 quarter turns – door would not stay down. Lowered to 28 1/4 turns; door still went up by itself. Homeowner advised of a dangerous situation. Opener was set at 6/6. Homeowner was verbally advised of hazards pertaining to the structural support braces that were not installed on those garage doors. You were given honest advice .You should be ashamed of yourself for leaving such a review.

I received quick service when calling for an appointment and the technician arrived on time. He told me that the inspection revealed no problems, and he showed me where to occasionally put some oil to keep the necessary parts in good working order. The price was fair for the work performed and time spent.
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal and the company inspected the springs, cables and other parts, performed a tune up and installed new rollers. The Big Deal included the option of installing a keyless entry pad, but since I already had one, I selected the installation of new rollers.

They arrived timely and were very pleasant. The reason for the B rating in professionalism is because they indicated that I had something that was not the correct size for my size of garage door and that could be dangerous and cause a lot of damage and they could correct this at an additional charge. When the need for this was questioned it was no longer dangerous it was just something that I should consider correcting in the future. I appreciate that they brought this to my attention and understand that it is sometimes cheaper to have things fixed when the person is already on location, but initially felt like they were saying that this was something that I had to do right now. Overall they did a great job and I love my key-less entry.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
Thank you for your response. I believe there was some confusion with the conversation concerning this door. We never directly spoke with this customer, we spoke with the son who relayed information to the customer. We stand by the information given the springs are undersized for the door and could lead to an accident. We adjusted the springs and made the door as safe as possible short of changing the springs. The electric eyes were mounted too high and are also considered dangerous and do not comply with state statute. We apologize for the confusion.

We ordered the doors and set a time for them to be installed. They had to reschedule since the delivery truck broke down. They installed the doors and did a nice job. Unfortuately the door that did not have electric opener would not open after a couple of weeks. The installer came back out and had to adjust the door. They were very nice people and stood behind there work. Unfortuately, we had a couple of mis-steps.
Description of Work: They replaced 3 single garage doors and 2 openers.

Thank you for your review. We apologize for the mis-step in having to reschedule the installation. Garage door tracks are installed at an angle so when the door lifts it goes up and away from the frame. The day the doors were installed it was raining, so once the frame had dried; six weeks later; the door began sticking to the frame. Because of the type of doors that were installed we chose to use the existing wood stained molding verses pvc weatherstripping. The tracks were installed to give the best seal possible and keep the garage warm during the winter months. When the technician returned it was a simple adjustment at no charge to the customer.

We had an inspection/tune up in Sept. Then today (Feb) our garage door opener fell down from the ceiling. The technician made a trip out to check on our garage door opener which fell apart 6 months after their tune/up. Although my issue was related to an error in installation not to any error in their work they fixed it without an additional charge and right away so we could get out of the garage in time for our appointment.

Response from A1 Accurate Garage Door Co
Thank you for your review. At A1 Accurate Garage Door Co. we take customer service seriously.The garage door opener rail did fall 2" from header bracket assembly to the top part of the spring assembly bracket. The initial installation of a Genie garage door opener; which was not performed by A1 Accurate Garage Door Co; was installed with an improper header bracket assembly. The opener was initially installed with a Chamberlain front header bracket that needed a clevis pin set-up. The opener should have been connected with a Genie designed header bracket with a welded bolt assembly that uses a single lock nut. This was an inferior installation and should been recognized during the Angie's List roller deal. We did remedy the situation with a proper lock nut configuration. We have since held a lengthy safety meeting in which all service technicians are advised to check the following: 1. the use of inferior fasteners or the wrong fasteners; clevis pins versus bolts and lock nuts 2. using the proper brackets designed for the specific application 3. nuts missing lock washers in critical areas that have back and forth motion that tend to loosen without proper lock nut configurations.

I tried contacting A1 Accurate last night and was not successful but I did receive a call first thing this morning from Kevin as he had noticed my call. Kevin was able to come out and fix the problem within 2 hours of talking with him. We appreciated the prompt response. Kevin replaced the spring, made some adjustments and helped us better secure one of the safety eyes. I found A1 Accurate through an Angie's list deal a little over a year ago and will continue to use them in the future. Thanks Kevin for fixing our spring in a quick and professional manner.
