After the payment and continued complaining with Home Depot, Calder finally did a site visit and measured the openings.  It took another 2 months for the doors to arrive and more time after that to arrange installation.  Calder claimed that they never received the work order from Home Depot and visa versa.  Any way, it was a good 4 months before work was started.  The installer complained from the start as to how far he had to travel (from Lancaster to Carlisle).  The doors that he installed the first day were:
1.  Two different doors from the ones ordered and paid for.
2.  The lites(windows) were from two separate models.
3.  The installer still installed them.
4.  A garage door opener was ordered for the one door.  It was never installed correctly and jeri-rigged into an existing light fixture.
5.  The other door never opened correctly ( the one panel must be physically pushed in while raising door).
6.  The dispatcher was rude and stated if I wanted the work corrected, there would be an additional charge.
7.  Out of desparation I agreed and the 2nd techician was appologitic and did all the re-work.  There was no charge.
The bottom line is the initial instalation was botched.

Arrived on time as scheduled and immediately saw the problem. Adjusted cables and some of the hinges. Lubed all hinges and pulleys and made numerous adjustments to cables. Kept me informed as job progressed and showed me where to lube the door when needed. Extremely thorough and very professional. Cannot say enough good things about the technician. He got a quote for me on a new opener while there and you can be sure I will be buying from this company and recommending them to all my friends in the future. Cost of service was very reasonable compared to other estimates I had gotten.
