Grand Openings Garage Door is a locally-owned and operated business that offers professional service and ethical performance combined with competitive pricing and prompt delivery. We take great pride in our service and back all of our work up 100% with industry-leading warranties. We have been in business since 2003 in the Raleigh/Durham area and have grown considerably on word of mouth and proudly stand by our unwavering reputation.
Our garage door was 16 years old and in sad shape. It was originally installed with substandard materials and we tried to keep it togerther all of those years. Then the spring broke which allowed the door to fall and break in several places. There was no way to repair it this time. Called Grand Openings for appointment and Mike(owner) came out the same day. Assessed the situation and gave us a very reasonable price. Ordered a new door the same day, but it took a few days for delivery from the manufacturer. As soon as it was delivered, Mike was at our house installing it. He also replaced the railing system and springs and adjusted the door opener. Fabulous job. Couldn't be happier. Mike is very professional and we would recommend him to everyone.
Description of Work: Replaced springs, rails and door. Adjusted door opener.

We were very impressed with the services provided by Grand Opening Garage Doors. We scheduled an appointment two days prior and Michael, the owner, arrived exactly when promised. He analyzed the problem promptly and informed us of the exact cost. He was pleasant to talk to and thorough and efficient throughout the repair. Before he left, Michael adjusted the track and also did extra work on a faulty opener and helped us set an existing keyless entry--all without additional charge. We will certainly use him again in the future if necessary and will recommend him to friends.

He did an excellent job of replacing two garage door openers with belt drive openers. They work great. He also did a special door tune up on both garage doors. I'm extremely pleased with every aspect of the job. I originally called because one opener had failed. It had a broken gear. He could have just replaced the gear, but we talked through the options and with the age of the openers it was worth replacing the opener. He gave me a good price for two openers and tune up. He returned the next day to complete the job. I couldn't have bought the same openers myself for the price of the complete installation.

In a word, Fantastic! Setting up the appointment was easy as was getting a time that was convenient to me. Tech arrived right at the promised time and did a through inspection before beginning the job. There was no effort to "upcharge" or sell additional services. Overall very impressed and would recommend this vendor to anyone. I will definitely contact this vendor for any garage door needs in the future.

Very good deal which resulted in the garage door opening and closing much quieter than before.
Description of Work: Took advantage of the $99 garage door tune-up special which included new rollers and spring adjustments. The company owner also replaced the weather seal on the bottom of the door for an additional, reasonable fee. He also tried to find a replacement cover that goes over the garage door light where the old cover had been broken off.

I called Grand Openings Garage Door to have a broken garage door spring replaced. Michael was able to come out the same day to replace the broken spring. He was very friendly and didn't try to rush off too quickly to his next job; taking the time to ensure the door was properly aligned and answer the questions I had. In addition to replacing the spring, he spent time to ensure the door was level when closed, adjusted the automatic garage door opener and lubricated the hinges. Michael did not try to up-sell me on services that weren't part of his quote. I would highly recommend calling Grand Openings Garage Door if you need any type of service on your garage door.

Mike showed up on time, and was quick to respond to my call. He told me that I could do nothing, and all would be fine. When I insisted that he do something (anything!) to make that garage door quieter, he immediately gave me the discounted price I had previously received, and went straight to work. As before, no payment was asked for before the work was done. After about 45 minutes, he had the door rolling up and down very smoothly, and with a lot less chatter than we had been hearing. Great job!
Description of Work: Mike Ropelewski made a very quick appointment with me to look over my Mom's garage door, as it was making an unusual amount of noise, and I suspected that there may be an issue with the spring mechanism. Mike literally came within hours of my request, and took a look at no charge to me. He confirmed that there was absolutely no issue with the spring mechanism, and although it is very old (original to my Mom's place) he told me there really was no need to replace it. He promised to be over on a moment's notice if for some reason the spring failed. Since he has been so responsive the first two times I have called him, I found this to be a very satisfactory answer. That said, the door was still too noisy for my liking, and so Mike offered to do a "tune up" and he offered me the same price as I had paid for my garage door back when he was running an Angie's List special. I jumped at that price, as I was totally satisfied with the work he had done for me before.

Mike contacted me via phone and was very easy to work with to setup an appointment. Mike was on-time with the initial tuning service of our garage door. Mike identified some issues with the garage door opener, it was really load and started making a clanking sound. Mike easily diagnosed the issue and provide us some options based on how long we planned to live there. We choose to get a new garage door opener that was very quiet for $200 installed. Mike scheduled the next call and arrived on-time again and installed the new opener. The new opener works great. We added that we wanted the external door controller, but Mike would have to order it. After about 2 weeks mike texted me that he had to order the controller from the manufacture and it would be another 2 weeks (he was proactive in contacting me). After about 2 weeks Mike texted me that the opener was in and he could come over and install it. I was not going to be around, so he just dropped it off and I installed it (no problem). Mike was going to charge me for the cost of the controller. Now I got to send him a check for it (I promise my check will be in the mail soon Mike :-) Mike is great and very knowledgeable about garage doors and openers, He and his father had a business for years. Good service and I trust him.

Excellent job, good quality materials used, and great customer service.
Description of Work: Mike replied promptly to our call, called again to say he was on the way, and arrived when he said he would be here. He was pleasant, explained our options, and we agreed to a fair price for his work. He replaced our old spring system, straightened the door and frame, did a lubrication and tune up, and even repaired sloppy work done by a previous contractor. He cleaned up everything, and put all back in its place. Great work and customer service! Thanks, Mike.

In a little more than an hour, Mike had removed the old hardware and replaced the old chain track with a new belt track, the electric eyes, the wall mounted control pad, and, of course, the motor assembly. Mike's attention to detail is outstanding. He was very careful to ensure that everything was level, properly tightened, and aligned. We were amazed at how quiet the belt driven unit was as compared to the chain drive. And the nylon rollers also make quite a lot less noise than the old metal rollers. Mike checked and double-checked to ensure he had completed everything to our satisfaction. He cleaned up the area so it looked like he was never there. Additionally, Mike carted our old unit away. My wife and I are extremely pleased with Grand Openings Garage Door and we can highly recommend Mike without reservation.
Description of Work: Our 15 year old LiftMaster Garage Door opener suddenly stopped working. We had used the services of Grand Openings Garage Door several months ago at which time Mike tuned-up our garage door system and replaced our aging metal track wheels with nylon. We were quite pleased with Mike's service, so it was only natural to call him to debug the garage door opener. To his credit, Mike first tried to fix the opener with spare parts from his truck. No luck. He finally concluded that the circuit board in the LiftMaster assembly had failed, and gave us several options: (1) we could just replace the circuit board for $150; (2) replace the entire unit with the latest LiftMaster technology (which changed from chain drive to belt drive) for $360. The new LiftMasters have a lifetime warranty, so it was a no-brainer for us. We chose the latest model along with an extra remote control.

Description of Work: Mike was prompt and serviced both of my garage doors. In servicing them, he noticed that an original piece had not been installed and since it had been 10 yrs since the installation, I couldn't go back to them. The missing part was allowing my door to sag. Mike made several suggestions on a way to fix the sag and help the door to last longer. We agreed on a fix and he came back within a few days and added the brace. The new brace removed the sag in my door. He is pleasant to work with and follows through on his committments. In addition, he looks for ways to keep your garage door working and in good shape. I would recommend Mike at Grand Openings for repair or replacement.

The installation went well. The installer arrived promptly and explained my options. I decided to have the garage door opener updated with a newer model. He enabled the garage door opener to be controlled from a button in my car enabling me to use the 1 standard garage door opener controller from a second vehicle.
Description of Work: My garage door would not open so I contacted Grand Openings after reading reviews on Angie's list. My garage door opener was replaced and works perfectly. The difference in sound is amazing, I can barely hear the garage door as it opens.

Mike at Grand Openings was amazing! He arrived on time, provided a reasonable estimate and completed the work faster than expected. He was courteous and worked within my limited budget. Mike guarantees his work and even came back to help me reset the keypad code and to provide a second garage door remote. I would recommend Grand Openings to anyone who needs garage door repair work.

Mike did an excellent job of repairing and tuning up my garage door. It is a single 18' door and is very heavy. He installed the new spring, replace the bearings and aligned the track. Now the door is very quiet and glides like it is on ice. I was expecting to pay close to $400, but Mike's total came out to $320. Very reasonable for quality work. I can tell from talking to Mike that he really cares about his work and wants to make everything perfect. He is all about customer satisfaction and service.
Description of Work: When my garage door spring failed and trapped my wife's car in the garage, I was tempted to call one of the larger national garage door sales/service chains but checked Angie's List first. That's how I found Mike and Grand Openings Garage Door. I called Mike around 9:30pm and he was willing to come out that night to perform temporary repairs to allow us to get my wife's car out of the garage. Since I had planned to take my wife to work the next day anyway, Mike and I agreed on a time for him to come out the next day. Mike arrived exactly when he said he would and evaluated my problem. He put in a temporary spring repair since he had to have a spring made. He quoted me a price on the spring of between $260 and $280 and said he would schedule a time to come back when the spring was ready. Mike called me the very next morning to tell me that the spring was ready and he was on his way to pick it up. He arrived at the agreed upon time and installed the spring. I asked him for a tune-up as well since the door was very noisy.

He lubricated entire mechanism and he also aligned tracks and door so that it closed smoothly and sealed correctly. The people that installed the door eight years ago said that it could not seal tight because the floor was uneven. He fixed it and he did the extra work at no additional charge. He provided an estimate and the price was the estimate. He kept his schedule. He did excellent work. The estimate called for one remote, he gave me a second one at no additional charge.
Description of Work: Replaced motor that opens garage door. After replacing the motor he noticed the door he noticed that the door did not open smoothly, it sturred when going up and down. This problem existed ever since the door was replaced by another contractor eight years ago.

From the beginning, Mike was responsive to our requests. He assessed our situation and provided viable options for replacing our current doors and openers. He was objective and didn't push any one product. Mike was on time and worked a full day installing the new doors ensuring they worked properly. He provided instruction on their use and left the worksite in terrific shape with all materials removed. Overall, a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend him to anyone requiring garage door work!
Description of Work: We had two old garage doors and openers replaced by Mike. We went from heavy wood doors to steel insulated doors with upgraded Liftmaster openers.
