the company representative sprayed the door hinges with lubricant and banged the track into a better alignment. It didn't seem very comprehensive of an inspection but the garage door does operate better. I think they fell a bit short in the professionalism area though. He arrived in a car filled with his family members and seemed in a rush to depart. Everything was so unmarked, my neighbor was even frightened and called about my safety as all she saw was a strange man with a hammer. For the small amount I paid for the Big Deal, I guess it was okay but I wouldn't think to use this company for future projects.

I called him yesterday after our garage door broke. He knew right away what the likely cause was and we scheduled an appointment for him to come out and repair it today. He arrived on time, and quickly fixed the problem.
Description of Work: The garage door cable came off the pulley on one side, preventing the door from closing.

I'd get a second estimate before going with the work of this vendor again.
Description of Work: The garage door wasn't closing all the way so they came out and serviced it. We specifically asked whether the opener needed replaced and the vendor said no, this service should fix it. It worked beautifully after it was serviced. We were charged $50 and they left. The next day it didn't work again. We called them back out and they said it needed replaced. We went with them again because it was urgent, but they didn't take off the $50 we already paid for service. We were charged another $350 to replace the unit. They did a nice job but it would've been nice to know on the first visit that we needed to replace the whole thing.

The service call was made the result of my calling the company about problems with the operation of the gargage door opener. As it turned out, it was my fault that a trash container in the garage knocked one of the sensor out of place, which resulted in the erratic operation of the opener. When I called to schedule service I told the company rep (the tech who came out I believe) what was happening with the door. With these symptoms, it would have helpful if he had suggested that I check the placement of the sensors. That would have saved a service trip and money for the customer. What was charged was the amount of the service call based on a current Angie's List deal. He was on site for less than a minute. Half of the service charge would have been justifiable. I'm a repeat customer of the company and feel that based on what was done and my past business an adjustment should have been made. I'm not sure I will use the company again.

Response from Central Ohio Garage Door
It's really disturbing to see a customer complain about a service call that we provide for a discount, to fix a problem that they caused! I'm sorry they feel this way. But it cost fuel, time and advertising to run a business. I guess the fact that we operate with integrity doesn't concern the customer in the least. We could have just as well told them that there circuit board was bad and made more money. But we saw the error caused by them and fixed it. Told them to be careful next time. That knowledge is at least worth the minimal arrival and service fee! It does appear from time to time, we cant please everyone! Please read our other reviews...

Very well. Two service providers arrived. I opened the garage door. They adjusted the door and replaced one part. Their service was efficient. They arrived during the time frame agreed upon. The door works much better than previous to the service. No additional charge was added to the Big Deal amount.

I had requested the $49.00 garage door inspection and minor preventive maintenance. Upon their initial inspection the workers could see that the wooden door was warped and they concluded it was unsafe. As a result, the door was replaced with a door with lighter materials rather than the original wood door. They also replaced an old remote door control panel mounted outside the garage. The new door was installed within two days and has been functioning well ever since.
Description of Work: replaced existing garage door; replaced external key pad to operate door.

Called 1/23 with what we were pretty sure was a busted garage door motor (broken teeth). Door would no longer open. They came out the very next day and replaced the motor and sensors, entire system in under an hour. Worth the cost for the quick availability, with the cold temperatures and everything. I would call them again for service calls, etc.

This question is silly, for it essentially duplicates the one above. An epic is unnecessary. I sum up the experience with Bruce as very positive all around.
Description of Work: Bruce Clark and one of his associates replaced the rollers on my garage door earlier this year. Their speedy competence prompted me to call them on 26 December when the opening mechanism on my garage door failed to open the door, leaving me with a car that I couldn't use until the problem was solved. I called Bruce in the evening, and he told me he would arrive today, 27 December, between 12 and 2. Indeed, he arrived at 12:30, diagnosed the problem, and in approx. 10 mins. fixed it. Customers who complain about prices for work that takes 10-20 minutes don't take into account that the expertise of the professional is what enables him (or, more rarely, her) to repair whatever is broken or malfunctioning. A worker, after all, could dawdle and spend half an hour or more pretending to examine every detail of the relevant item, (and a bad worker likely would require extra time), but who really wants that? Customers pay not for the time spent (though that is what one calculates in jobs that are 'paid by the hour'), but for the job (efficiently) done, and in this case I was pleased to pay the sum I did for a quick solution to the problem.

It's a disappointing experience overall. The person who came did not have a service attitude. While the purchase was for "inspection and tune-up", he insisted that it's for inspection only. The appointment was set up for 9 to 11 am. By 10:40 am, I made a call to him and asked him when he would be able to come. He said before 11 am. I said I need to attend to something else after 11 am, and asked him the amount of time it would be needed for him to do the work. He said 5 minutes. This is when I got puzzled. Five minutes for inspection and tune-up? The person showed up at about 10:50 am. Asked me whether there is anything wrong with the garage doors. I said one of the two wouldn't run smoothly. He checked, and made adjustment. The door ran much better afterward. He was ready to leave. It appeared that he didn't even plan to check or inspect the other door, simply because I didn't mention any known problem with it. Just before he was ready to go back to his truck, I remembered that my electronic opener didn't work well. I brought it up. He asked when was the battery changed the last time. I said I had not changed the battery since purchasing the house. He laughed, saying it must be a dead battery. The funny thing is he didn't show any intention to check or verify his guess. That was not even inspection, not to mention tune-up. Just before he was ready to drive away, he suddenly remembered something. He got out of his truck and came back to my garage, and put a advertisement/reminder by the entrance door inside the garage, without even asking for permission. Till this day I have no idea what his tune-up means. But I know well enough that his "inspection" involves guessing. I'll never use his service again.
Description of Work: Supposed to be "inspection and tune-up", but the service man insisted that it was for "inspection" only. Please see below.

Response from Central Ohio Garage Door
An inspection and tune up was paid for 1 door, not 2. After that was mentioned, there was no pleasing this customer. An inspection and tune up can take 5 to 20 minutes, depending on the issues. He had just one, and it was addressed. Once again we are judged for time, and not knowledge. I'm sorry the customer was not happy, but we fixed his problem, told them they needed a new battery in there keyless entry, and did not laugh what-so-ever! Some times we think that customers don't accept that some of there problems are simple, and when they see us fix them quickly, they think, i could have done that, but we are judged for being fast and efficient. The worst part is, the customer is getting a great deal, and some times they don't consider are time , and fuel and knowledge as part of there deal. It is are wish that customers would be more appreciative to our knowledge and expierence. Fortunately, most of our customers due! Please read our other reviews!

My garage door was so squeaky ( finger nails on a chalkboard ) and loud and I saw this deal and purchased it. The gentleman was punctual and efficient. Replaced and lubed all rollers. Also advised me as to what lubricant and when to lube my rollers in the future. Only thing I was not happy with was after he left I noticed that my door would not close as before. I adjusted the screw on the actual opener a few times and it shut properly after that.

The service provider arrived on time. Asked me if I had any concerns? I stated we just bought the condo and the garage door seemed to be making a lot of noise when raising and lowering, and I just wanted to make sure I didn't have any problems do to the noise. He received a phone call at that time, and was on the phone the rest of the service call. He was there a total of 10 minutes. He did spray the rollers with some kind of lubricant, stopped talking long enough to tell me who to make the check out to. I ask if there was any problems with rollers, springs, chain, tracks or door opener. He stated he did not see any reason for concern the noise was just a old opener. ( to be honest I did not see him look at anything except the rollers when he was spraying them. On 11/08/2012 the main spring broke, When the spring broke it damaged the door. I called The Door Doctor. They came out on 11/09/2012 replaced the spring, and fixed the door and did a extensive check of all the tracks, chain,rollers and opener
Description of Work: Garage door service check. I assumed the rollers, tracks, springs, chain, and opener. would be checked.

It's a service call to lubricate and address any concerns! There were none at the time. Again, I must remind my Angie's list customers... We cannot predict what will break in the near or far future. I did the service and answered all questions. And multitasking on a business call thru my Bluetooth while servicing a door should not be considered an issue. What customers need to understand is that a garage door is a simple operating system that need little maintenance. We do what the door requires at the time of service, and make the necessary recommendations. We should not be judged by the time we spend on service call. We are the professionals, and if being efficient and quick is frowned upon, than I am speechless! But for the record, we did just receive the 2012 super service award for excellent service. Please judge us by our record. We operate with integrity and efficiency, but we are not perfect!

I called them about 5PM to schedule a time and he said he could make it out that evening at 6:30. The person that came out, I believe, was the owner. He arrived on time and was very efficient. He inspected the door, lubed the door carrier, tightened loose bolts, straightened part of the track that was bent, aligned the sensor beam, adjusted the open/close pressure/sensitivity and replaced a blown light bulb. He was here maybe half an hour. Everything went well. No problems.
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List Deal of the Day, so I already knew the cost. It was basically a door inspection and tune up.
