Good morning. I am sorry I did not respond to your review quickly. Evidently the link to notify Potter Overhead Door that an Angie's List member wrote a review is not turned on. Anyway, we are so happy you like your new belt drive garage door operator. I'm wondering if you downloaded the app to your phone and using any of the phone remote options? We appreciate you took time from your day to grade our company on Angie's list.

Description of Work: They replaced my garage door, which included the door, spring, and track. The old opener failed as they began work so I had them replace it also. The whole job took a couple of hours. They arrived a few minutes after the planned time of 9:30am and were done with the whole job before noon. Since they had two people doing the install, one was able to leave once the door was up to get the new opener while the other prepared the installation. They took the time to correct a minor alignment issue and to make sure that the door worked right before they left.

Good morning. Thank you for taking time to post this great review to Angie's List. The garage door and garage door opener should give you many years of trouble free operation. Please remember to glance over the owner's manuals for both the garage door and opener. Both manuals list helpful homeowner maintenance tips to keep the garage door running smoothly. We appreciate your business.

Good morning. I know design was critical for your new construction project. It was a pleasure to talk about the project and the overall design you were trying to achieve. I'm glad you were able to find a garage door to meet your needs. Please take the time to review the owner's manual as it will list helpful homeowner maintenance tips you can perform to keep the garage door opening and closing smoothly. We appreciate your business.

Good morning. Thank you for rating our company with Angie's List. I want to personally thank you for being patient during our extended lead times we encountered the last quarter of 2015. Our company was so fortunate to have so many sales in both the residential and commercial markets that we had to extend non-emergency installations to 3 - 4 week lead times. We are also happy you purchased the 25,000 cycle torsion spring option direct from the manufacturer. Please take the time to glance over your owner's manual so you can perform the homeowner maintenance tips listed. We wish you and your family a healthy and happy 2016.

I phoned Potter Door this morning and was told someone would be at my house this afternoon between 12:00 and 2:00. Jim arrived at about 12:30. He inspected the doors and identified the problem as worn-out cable wheels (I forget the word that he used to identify this part). He replaced 8 of the wheels, adjusted the stop on one of the doors, and lubricated the entire assembly on both doors. Jim explained everything that he was doing and why he was doing it. He showed me the defective parts and compared them to them to the new parts he would install. He knew more things than I thought possible about garage doors! Both doors now open and close smoothly. I appreciated Jim's thoroughness and his prompt reply to my call.
Description of Work: My two single bay garage doors were not opening and closing smoothly. One of the bay doors actually came out of the track on four occasions. The wheels that control the cable that lifts and shuts the doors were replaced.

We needed a repair to our overhead door. We called at 8:00 and they were at our house by 2:15 that afternoon. The technician examined the opener and after trying several conditions he determined that the Circuit Board was the problem. The repair of the board was half the cost of a new opener and since it was 10 years old we decided to repace it. The technician called the office to have a new opener delivered and at one point we had the whole company at our house. The new opener was installed and everything was examined, lubricated, replaced and cleaned up by 3:45. All of the employees were courteous and professional.
Description of Work: We had a goarage door opener that would not close the door.

They have a nice showroom, and the staff there is very good at explaining what to choose, which is very helpful. When they came to do the installation, the fellow was very good and took some time after the installation to tell me what to watch for and what I can do to maintain the door.

This went very well, and would recommend them. The only reason the price was higher than the phone estimate is b/c they didn't know that the doors needed to be realigned.
Description of Work: Potter was very professional and responsive. We had them install two garage door openers. They realigned our tracking and put in extra supports (the cost was extra for that) and installed the openers for us. They did this very quickly and professionally. We would definitely use them again if needed.

Our garage door broke. Potter came to fix it. After finding out how much it was to fix it, and that the mfg wasn't the best we decided to replace the door. Before giving the ok I researched the existing door and did verify the mfg had a shoddy reputation. It was by no means a hard sell tactic by Potter to get me to buy a new door. The repairman was very knowledgeable. I was told the door I ordered would arrive in 3 weeks and the office person suggested I made the installation appointment ahead of time, and she was right! The door came a few days short of 3 weeks. The installers were on time, they cleaned everything up and took the old door away.

Our spring broke @ 9pm. I left a message w/the answering service requesting a call first thing in the morning & as early as possible service call, they called me at 8am & had someone at my home by 9:45am. They were prompt, courteous, very accommodating considering when I called. I highly recommend this company & would call them again when I have a need but I hope I don't need them for awhile!

The representative that answered the phone was pushy. I called for an estimate & received one. Only one. It was for a high-end model. I was given the manufacturer's website to view the door & made arrangements for a rep to visit our home to determine if the door was repairable or needed replacement. It was determined that the door needed replacement & we were left with literature for a replacement door- the same door that was recommended over the phone. Apparently, they sell one model of garage door. We were not impressed by either representative (they were both pushy). We took our business elsewhere.
