My garage door would not open Thursday night and even disengaging the door would not allow it to open. Luckily both of my families cars were being used when we returned home to find this problem. The spring coil that helps open and close the garage door had broken possibly secondary to the below freezing temperatures and the fact that they were 14 years old. The repairmen put my house at the top of the list and fixed it within an hour and installed the new rubber strip along the bottom of the door. Apparently they shrink over time and so I had a 4 inch open gap when the door was shut. I am very happy to have my door functioning again and am very happy with this company. This is actually my 4th time in 5 years having them out to service my garage door so I am hoping not to have any more problems!
Based on what I told them on the phone, they quoted me $280 for two springs (it seemed prudent to replace both springs since they were the same age and obviously the same amount of wear). I also asked that they do an overall check of both of my doors (I have two single doors for a two car garage) although they said that they did that routinely whenever they made a service call. While I thought that this was necessary, I was afraid that this would give them the opportunity to "find" other problems to fix including possibly telling me that I should replace the springs in the other door. However, based on the reviews I read, I felt somewhat comfortable that this firm is reputable and would not try to talk me into accepting unneeded additional work.
I was very pleased by the whole experience. First, it turned out that what I told them on the phone led them to believe I needed a different type of spring than what I actually had. What I needed was cheaper and reduced the cost $80 from what they originally told me. I would have never known had they just installed the correct springs and charged me for the more expensive ones. On top of that, the technician (Dave) replaced three door rollers (plus he showed me how to replace them in case I ever need to), lubricated all rollers and pulleys on both doors, tightened several brackets, tightened the chain on both doors and checked the drive motor (which is pretty old) for wear. There were a lot of opportunities for him to tell me additional work was necessary but he apparently gave me an honest assessment even though it didn't result in any additional business for him. For all this there was no extra charge. I paid $200 for the entire job which, as I said already, was $80 cheaper than what I was first quoted.
I absolutely recommend Advanced Door Systems if you need garage door work done.
The technician came when we arranged, went straight to work -- had to level the door, shim the tracks, adjust the photo eyes, and re-set the tension spring system. He finished in an hour and a half and the door works perfectly.
I was very pleased. Will definitely call nextmonth when I want to surprise my father with a garage door opener for Christmas!
Casey was very professional --- efficient, unobtrusive, honest, courteous, and thorough. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs a garage door opener repaired or replaced. I had a great experience with them
install a new garage door opener. I had bought the new opener, so they
only installed it (they normally sell and install) but they gave me no
problem about doing only the install. Buying my own and having them
install was cheaper than them doing both. The installer did his job
quickly and was done and out in about 2 hrs or less. The office
personnel were very courteous and helpful.
Well, I never got the call to go home, but that is not a bad thing. Luckily my son-in-law was there when the serviceman arrived to fix the springs. He replaced both springs and verified that the door functioned properly. Since I was not there to make the payment, he left without receiveing payment or leaving a receipt or copy of the work order. I guess he realized after the work was done that he was supposed to call me 30 minutes before his arrival. Had my son-in-law not been there he would have had to wait a half hour for me to get home.
I cannot review the serviceman since I was not there, but as far as I can tell the work was done properly, the door functions properly and there was no debris or old parts left on the premisis.
The next business day George called me to settle the account. I gave him my payment information and he will be sending me the receipt and a copy of the work order.
I would like to have been there when the work was performed, but I got a full day in at work rather than taking time off, so I guess it all worked out.
The only contact I had wih the company is with George on the phone, and he was very friendly, and was easy to talk to about the problem with the door. He talked to me like a person rather than a job, which if you've talked to many service organizations is a rare thing these days. Thanks George!
At this time I have not had the correct type of door installed. All the Rep had to do was put an L behind the door number
"Our company always strives to to be the best from the start to finish of any project. Unfortunately, this project started off bad by not being on time as scheduled and by ordering the wrong product. We were truthful from the beginning and tried our best to make this right to the member's satisfaction. Even installing a different door while the other was reordered. It was embarrassing from the start for our company, and we hope that all is well now. We appreciated the members patience."
A few days after my system was put in it wouldn't close. George came out and was able to adjust the sensors and get it to function. He was very kind!
WHEN THE OWNER KNEW THE GARAGE DOOR WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL, HE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO FIX MY GARAGE DOOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
THE SERVICEMAN WAS PUNCTUAL AND PROFESSIONAL.
THE SPRINGS INSTALLED WERE A LITTLE DISCOLORED BUT A WORKING WELL TWO MONTHS LATER.
NEW PARTS WERE INSTALLED WHERE NECESSARY.
