Great service since I made the call to the office -- Charles was on time, provide quality work, came back and tweaked the garage door sensor when it do not work just right -- have used them for to other garage door issues (had to remove new doors when remodeling interior of garage). Charles is the owner and he and his office staff are outstanding and they are now my one stop garage door company.

When I called for a quote, I received the best customer service. Told her I founds on Angie's List and she had no problem honoring discount. I shopped around but no one could beat A1's price for equipment and installation. Tech was on time and very professional. Job took a few hours. Tech programmed all 3 remotes and explained system to us. We were overall very happy with product and company. Would use again and recommend to anyone looking for garage services.

He arrived approximately 10-15minutes early. He listened while I explained and demonstrated my problem. He did some minor troubleshooting. He explained and demonstrated the reason for my problem. He then corrected the problem, and replaced the rollers. He was completely done in approx 30 -40 minutes. He was extremely polite and professional.

He came out and fixed the broken door in a very professional manner, but I bought a "deal" for $70 off on a $150 service call, but he said that the service to repair the door was "not a service call", but instead was a "repair trip", so the big "deal" did not apply. After some discussion and explaining my position, he agreed to accept my interrpretation of the "deal" tickett and gave me the discount for the ticket. I was very happy with his work, but I will be more hesitant in purchasing future "deals" without a better description and understanding for a service call vs a repair trip, or whatever it might be in the ffuture. I don't recall the exact date of the service.
Description of Work: Came to my house (on what I thought was a service call), and repaired the broken spring on the door.

When we moved into our new house, one door had no garage door opener and the other was broken. Since the garage had high ceilings, we wanted to use the space above where the doors open for storage. I needed torsion bars to replace the extension springs and a side/wall mounted opener. I was looking for two Liftmaster 8500 openers. I called around and actually had one company quote one price on the phone, and after showing up, wanted more. I sent them packing and contacted A1. A1 gave me a quote in email, came at the time they said they would and installed everything to perfection with no problems. Charles, the installer, worked tirelessly in 90+ degree heat and was professional, extremely respectful and got the job done! I must admit that there were some spelling errors in the email messages being sent back and forth that made me question if I made the right decision, but after my experience, I can honestly say there was no regrets. I would definitely call upon A1 again in the future.
Description of Work: Converted garage door springs from extension springs to torsion bar and then installed wall mounted garage door openers for both garage doors.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and it worked out fine. He came, he repaired it, and I had to pay extra for it, but my garage door opens fine now. He was polite, he seemed knowledgeable, he identified the problem as I suspected, he fixed it and everything was good.

The serviceman, Charles, was very courteous and prompt in responding to the house and replacing the spring. It was the best experience I have had when dealing with someone listed with Angie's. I would certainly recommend their business to anyone looking to get great service and being on time. Charles had also checked the other garage door and improved its performance as well. Very pleased

Charles and A-1 garage are great! I needed emergency service and they returned my call right away. Charles came out and fixed the door very quickly. This is AFTER Overhead Door said that my only option was to spend $1100.00 and purchase a new door. Charles(A-1 garage) said that may be needed in the future but right now a quick less expensive option was available until I was able to afford a new door. Some companies try to make you spend more money in emergency situations, but not A-1. I recommend them for all of your garage needs.

It was fine; he did a good job. The big deal was for $80 for $100 worth of services but he gave me a bill for $150. He might have done more work but I don’t know about that and he didn’t explain it to me either. He was very prompt in coming out. He was very quick and very courteous. I have nothing bad to say about him and I thought he did a nice job.

All around a good experience. We are very happy with the newly installed garage door openers. I would give A's across the board except for the following small issues: - Installer had to come back a 2nd day b/c they did have all the required equipment - A bit pricey - Some communication issues with the dispatcher and installer (thick / broken english) combined with a new construction address that is not in most GPS systems yet.

Wonderful! The technician was early, got right to work and replaced the springs on the door. I came out to inspect it, and asked about a broken seal I noticed on the bottom of the door. He said he had the part and could replace it if I wanted. He stayed another 1/2 hour to complete that and everything works great. He also gave me some tips about how to tell if the door is close to breaking or needs repair. He was friendly, professional, and did high quality work. I couldn't be happier!

This company is outstanding. Easy to deal with, prompt and very clear in their communication. I highly recommend them. I have two single garage doors on an older garage. One didn't work at all and the other squeaked terribly. The technician recognized that the doors were installed improperly (not enough clearance), and adjusted both doors. The motor unit for one needed to be replaced, so he did that as well. The total price for 2 hrs labor and a new opener (that I can control with my iPhone) was $450--which seemed very reasonable to me. He discussed everything in advance before we got into doing the work. A+!

I called A-1 Garage Door to set up an appointment. A-1 was very flexible with the date and time. I set up the appointment for 8am and the technician arrived on time with all required parts. The technician was very polite and seemed to know what needed to be done after a brief examination of the door. The technician replaced the springs quickly then tightened all hinge bolts, lubricated the hinges and all rollers. The technician then tested the door a number of times to ensure it worked properly. The total repair took about one hour and fifteen minutes. I highly recommend A-1 to anyone needing garage door repair.

He is completely trustworthy and I will call him again if we need garage door repairs. His prices are very reasonable and does top quality work.
Description of Work: Our tenants had broken the garage door and Styrofoam installation. A1 Garage came out and quickly assessed the problem and fixed the garage door. He had to come back to install the Styrofoam on Saturday morning. I was not able to be there but I gave him the code to the garage door so he could install. Stopped by Saturday evening and he had nicely completed the work. He showed me how to change the code of the garage door opener.

The door opener was making h*** of a sound before tune-up. The technician came was very professional and was bit delayed but he called me to notify that he would be few minutes late. After he showed - up , he went over the garage door opener , changed the rollers and lubricated all parts. Also he helped me to setup a new remote. He has done an excellent job and also explained me what needs to be done in case of squeaking sound comes up again !.
