First of all their price on the highest quality door installed was several hundred dollars cheaper than doors with much lower r-values from other companies. I was able to get the best door installed and still not break the bank. The installers did an amazing job and extra items, like the arc kit and reinforcement brackets that other companies wanted extra for were included in the cost. The door looks amazing, works great and the overall experience was fantastic. I would recommend them without a second's hesitation to anyone. The estimate was professional, quick and on point. The lady at their office who handled billing was polite, friendly and efficient. Just an overall great experience.

The team at Hendershot was amazing. When they came out for the estimate they were on time and even called to let me know they were on the way. As they looked over the garage door they let me know what the options were, how much it would cost and what their recommendations were. On the day of installation, they were here on time, got the new door and opener installed and cleaned everything up so when I got home it looked better than when I left. I would highly recommend working with Hendershot for your garage door needs. Also, the estimate they provided was exactly what it cost. Also, they recommended a great contractor to come out and fix the garage door header and flashing around the garage door.

Repair came to look at the broken garage door and said that if he had the parts with him he could fix it right then.  Which he did have the replacement springs and had it working in about an hour.

Went just fine. They were in and out very quickly, the work was professional and the servicer was courteous. Overall I'd recommend them to others and would use them again for garage door servicing.

The 2 guys that came to the house were wonderful! They fixed both of our garage doors, replaced 2 springs, and programmed 2 remotes plus a keyless entry. They were quick and curteous and did not try to sell me more than we needed. I will be using them again in the future.

Shaun and Todd were the service men. They were great! Explained everything that needed to be done and had all the parts needed right on their truck. Took them lest then 2 hours to complete. The garage door opens smoother then it ever did. Thanks so much!

It went great!  They did not do a hard sell at all.  I bought the top end unit (Liftmaster 8500 with battery backup), however, because of its excellent reviews.  The installation took two hours and the guy doing it was there on time, did the work well and was very friendly and professional.  I got a surge protector (adding 2 years of circuitry warranty extension).  
While investigating the Liftmaster unit on the Liftmaster Website, I learned there was a special on and so got a second opener free, got an Internet gateway free and got a wall-mounted entry pad free.  My car is a 2002 model and its Homelink unit doesn't work with the new technology (rolling code generation) in the new opener, so I needed a transceiver to make it work.  That was free as well, however.  They only charged me the cost of materials for the safety cables (no installation) and there was no additional charge for installing any of the things listed above.
I did not go to Hendershot first; I had a bid to install the exact same Liftmaster system from another Angie'sList-recommended garage door installer.  But their bid had lots of installation charges above and beyond the cost of the materials.  In fact, for the system Hendershot installed, that company would have charged me $790! I knew something was wrong when they told me it would cost $75 to purchase and install the transceiver.  The full retail price on a transceiver is $50 (but Liftmaster provides it free, as noted above, when one buys their opener). "Installing" the transceiver consists of plugging it into a wall and then holding a button on the provided remote while inside one's car.  Similarly, that bid listed $45 to buy and install the surge protector. Its full retail is $24 and "installation" consists of plugging it in and connecting four short wires.  When on the Liftmaster site, I asked them to list the authorized dealers in my zip code and Hendershot came up.  The other company (reviewed elsewhere here) did not.  So, authorized dealer means MUCH better price.  And Hendershot did a great job, so I cannot see how the other company could have done better for almost $300 more.

FANTASTIC!!!!  I called @ 9:30 AM and they were in the area and here by 12:15 PM. The office and repair staff were great, and they did a wonderful job and took the time to explain the problem, and inspected the broken door and 2nd door for issues - there were non.  They arrived on time and completed the job in 15 min.
It should be told that I originally contacted Girard's for a estimate, and they too came out and provided a estimate of $251.00.  $136 for 2-110 LB springs, $30 for a cable sheave Bearing, $30 for 2 safety cables, and $55 Svc Fee - and repair would take 20 min.
Hendershot Door Systems was $117.00 which  = $28 for 2 120 LB springs, $4.00 for a cable sheave bearing, $85.00 Svs Fee - oh and no new safety cables needed, which = a total savings of $134.00!  And work completed in 15 min.
Moral of the story - shop around - even on Angies list.  "A" rating doesn't always mean "A" or fair pricing and services.
Thank you Hendershot for your great service and fair pricing!!!!!!!

Outstanding service.  They were able to fit us in within 24 hours of our first call.  They did what was needed, and a bit more actually, without a "hard sell" trying to get us to buy more than we wanted.  Without question they are going to be our garage door service company for all future needs.

We have been very pleased with Hendershot.  I originally found them through the Liftmaster web site, we were looking for an extra gararge door opener remote for our newly purchased house and didn't want a generic one.  We acquired the remote (they had it in stock) and they walked us through the programming process.
While my wife and I were getting things ready at the new house for the move in, we noticed that the garage door didn't open and close smoothly and quietly. We scheduled a service with them.
The technician called to verify the appointment, and reviewed the door installation quite thoroughly.  The home was built 5 years ago and the technician found and corrected an issue from when the builder installed the garage door.  The door now opens and closes smoothly and quietly as it should.  We are happy to recommend them.

Absolutely super company.  Excellent product selection and good price which was even less than the big box stores.  They provided no-hassle professional sales and installation.  I was especially impressed that they were prompt and efficient.  I am very pleased and would recommend Hendershot to anyone else in the area needing a garage door.  I really like doing business with local family-owned companies who make it on the quality of their work.

I called several garage door companies to give me estimates on fixing them and they all said that the doors were unfixable and I would need new garage doors which would cost about $1,200+ per door to replace.  I called Hendershot and they said no problem, the doors are fixable.  They attached metal stripping across the top of the garage doors and screwed in some nuts and bolts to keep the doors together.  They only charged me $100 per door.   The repair will last me a year or two until I can save up enough money to replace the doors.  The guy was friendly and courteous.  While he was at my house, I asked how much they charge to replace doors and the cost he gave me was MUCH better than the other guys (about $750 per door).  When it comes time to replacing the doors, guess who I am calling.  Hendershot!
