broke. I already had a service call in with another service, but they
could not fit us in for 5 days. I was hoping to find a contractor who
could help us out sooner. Overhead did not carry the replacement parts
for the system we used, but said they could install a new system at a
cost of over $600, (I don't remember the exact quote) but it would take over a week, longer than the
company we already had scheduled and three times the price. We decided to go with the other company.
I have nothing to say about their service or quality since we did not use them. They just seemed a little too eager to install a new system was one component.
I'm extremely pleased with the product and the installation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company.
Called Overhead Door of Greater Pittsburgh, 400 Poplar St.,Pgh 15223, 412-781-4000.
They charge $50 for house call, $15/ quarter hour for labor; gear assembly costs ~$60. Estimated labor time <1h. They said they would come tomorrow. Mike arrived the appointed day. He replaced soft plastic spur gear, said worm gear is hard plastic so
failure is always in spur gear. He says our unit was made in 2000, so 13 yrs old. New sprocket is different width than old on, so he exchanged new spur gear for old but did not replace old sprocket. He lubricated spur gear with a generous coat of petroleum jelly, and said that without grease the spur gears fail in a few weeks. He lubricated all other moving parts with spray lube similar to WD-40. He said this brand of door opener is very well built, and does not change design often, so new parts are generally interchangeable on old units. Total cost of repair $149. Excellent job.
Ordering was simple and the scheduler called when the doors came in.
The installers showed up on time and installed the new tracks, doors, and seals. They removed all of the old doors and tracks and cleaned up after they were finished.
The new doors look good and function well.
