A-1 Garage Door

Description of Work: Install new garage door

Description of Work: Spring replaced

Description of Work: A-1 Garage Door was super responsive and did great work! Sunday night before Memorial Day our garage door went out of alignment, would not close, was crooked and the wires on the side were unspooled. I was convinced we would need a new door. A-1 came to our property within an hour (about 8pm) and assessed the problem, we did not need a new door. Charles had the door operational again (better than it ever was) in about 30 minutes. Charles came back 2 days later to replace the bottom quadrant of the door which had been broken when the problem started. Charles worked fast and fine tuned the whole system. His work exceeded expectations. We will absolutely use A-1 again if necessary and we will recommend them to anyone looking for help with their garage door needs. Thank you Charles!

Description of Work: Our garage door had begun to creak and shudder very loudly every time we used it. A1- fixed it by tightening the bolts and fixing part of the frame that was knocked slightly askew. They also checked the chain.

Description of Work: I had just arrived home for Saturday after being out. As I was parking, my garage door wouldnt open. I had to go inside the house and manually open the garage door. I called nearly every garage door business within a 80mile radius and had no responses, like it is these days, just answering machines as excuses. What garage door business would be closed on 2 out of 7 days of the week, at least have someone on call. Within the next 4 hrs the gentleman drove 70 miles to my location and resolved my problems. One of my springs broke. Not only did he replace it, but he also replaced my tangled pulleys and wires. After testing the garage door several times, he went on his way. Later in the day I was leaving for an errand and the door would not open. Called him back and he returned on Tuesday. While this was not his fault as he did test it, I have no one to blame, just unfortunate. Tuesday he returned and tried to make a liar out of me. As i was demonstrating that the door would start to open but then stop and close, it wouldnt, it was working as intended. He then told me that I was not holding down the remote button down long enough (I've been using this remote for 7 years). I told him he needed to come up with a better story. After about 5 more tries and the garage door stopped making a liar out of me, it stopped working. He said its too hot and unplugged the garage door opener. After waiting 15 minutes, he told me to try again... but this time, I told him to push the actual control panel buttons. Sure enough, with the remote "story" out of the picture, he pushed the button on the garage control panel, and it had the same symptoms. This time he said that your garage door opener needs to be replaced. He said that you have new springs, new wires, but the opener is too old (its been used since 1999 but in a period of 4 days (since he came), it got old? I told him to come up with a better story. This is why the FAIR professionalism. It wouldve been LOUSY if he did not, in the end, say, I cannot tell you whats wrong other than I have replaced everything with new, and the only thing I dont know about is your old garage door opener. He charged me $160 for the spring/pulley + emergency repair (Saturday). Now he wants another $350 to replace the garage door opener. I told him he was out of his mind if he thought I was going to pay $510 ($160+350) for a new spring and a new garage door opener assembly. He said garage door opener assembly is always $350, and a spring replacement is always $160. Since my garage door opener was out of business, I asked if he could make a compromise as I dont have this kind of cash sitting around (yes, cash only). He replaced my never-working second garage door pulley, wires, and also a broken spring, and replaced my out-of-service garage door opener. for the same price. Why did I do this? Lowes was the only other who picked up the phone. Lowes would charge me $39 to give someone a call (I called everyone else on Angies list by the way). Then said no one would arrive till middle of next week, and they have their own rates, and would require at least two visits; 1 to check out the situation (and $90 for that), and the 2nd to replace any parts (another $90, plus parts and labor = $300 for garage door opener (Chamberlain 1/2hp belt model) plus 1hr-2hrs of labor = . I told Lowes I already know whats wrong, why charge me double? I was told it doesnt matter what you think is wrong, they have to look at it.

Description of Work: I just can't say enough nice things about all of these people. I originally called the company that installed the doors when my garage door came off the tracks but they never called back. I called A1 after seeing their reviews on the list. The woman who answered the phone worked hard to set an appointment up immediately and kept me informed about the serviceman's estimated arrival, etc. Charles, the Tech was courteous and skilled and had my door fixed quickly. He showed me what had caused the problem and fabricated a little trick to keep it from happening again. Also the price was embarrassingly low. Bonus? The door is now quieter and smoother than when it was brand new. I could not be happier

Description of Work: A-1 Garage Doors replaced our original garage door (22 years old) with a new metal, insulated garage door. The service included removal and disposal of the old garage door and installation of the new door. The electric motor and electronic key pad (entry) were in good working order and did not require replacement. Based on our budget and the quote from Door Doctor, we chose to upgrade the door from the standard construction to a thicker door designed to provide greater insulation.

Description of Work: I received an estimate from A-1 Garage Door for garage door last week.

Description of Work: I submit this as a most-demanding consumer. A-1 Garage provided excellent service from start to completion. Tim (the technician) was great. The company might sound small-time on the phone but they deliver big-time service. I called around to several companies before hesitantly calling A-1. During my call they seemed very accommodating (sometimes that's a red flag). I decided to go with them. They gave me a time --- they arrived on time--- they performed the requested work and more. I am completely satisfied! I bet you will be also.
