Brian did an excellent job! He is very professional, reasonably priced and honest. I had called another garage door company before calling Bilt Rite. They did not even entertain the idea of fixing my garage door; they just wanted to sell me a new one. After calling Bilt Rite Garage Doors and sending pictures of my problem, Brian fixed my garage door for a mere fraction of a new one. He saved me a lot of money. I could not be more pleased. My garage door works better than before, and I got a new garage door opener, too! Claudia Boyd

I had my garage door serviced and eventually upgraded by John McCusker and he was straight forward and helped make my decision easy utilizing my current door with the replacement of the opener and chain rail. I am very happy with the result and will use this company again when the other garage door opener eventually goes out. John was familiar with my old opener so it made for a great experience. I am glad I found Built Rite!

We had an awesome experience with Bilt Rite! Josh was our garage door installer and did a wonderful job. He arrived early, was friendly, and completed the job by himself in under 3 hours. Loved that they even hauled away our old broken door too. Erica at the office scheduled our services and was a delight to work with.she handled everything and the process was so smooth. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Jerome came out at 5pm and immediately knew what was wrong with my garage door opener. He replaced the motor and saved me about $200.00. He was very polite and helpful. Brian, his manager sent him to me stating that he would be able to answer all of my questions and fix my door at the most reasonable price and he was right. Thank you Brian for talking to me on the phone, answering my questions, and sending out Jerome. Bill Rite should give you both a raise for your excellent customer service. Thank you very much. Patti
