My spring snapped in half. I called Garage Door Specialists, and they had a tech out within 45 minutes. He went over my options, had all the parts on his truck, and a few hours later everything was fixed. He also addressed my concerns and reinforced my old garage door, so that it can last a while longer.

This company is a godsend! The easiest, most pleasant customer service experience I've had in recent memory. The office staff was immediately responsive and helpful, and my technician, Tommy, was knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. He immediately diagnosed and corrected the problem and, as an unexpected bonus, he kindly did some additional basic maintenance and educated me with tips and tricks for extending the life of the door and trouble shooting potential issues. Exceptional service!

Doug replaced our garage door opener with a wall mounted garage door opener and made a few repairs. Excellent technician and company. Doug arrived on time, did a great job for the prior agreed upon price, no hidden costs. Very profession company - I highly recommend.

A+++ Service from start to finish. It started with Stephanie on a Tuesday afternoon when I called with questions about my broken spring. The door was manufactured by Wayne-Dalton, and I'd read elsewhere that the springs may be difficult to source so she asked me to text a few pics. When I called her back, she gave me an estimate over the phone and told me that they could have a technician here the next day. Tommy showed up ON-TIME and was amazing.
I didn't realize my garage rack would cause an obstruction (see pics) but he worked around it and afterwards lubed the new springs and moving parts. Even better, he showed me how to do it which will save me time and money in the future. I highly recommend them! PS: Make sure you remove overhead obstructions to help them out!

Do not hesitate to contact this great company! Had excellent same-day service with Bob. He was professional and did a great job. He even called to say he could come earlier than the scheduled time. He was a big help and we hope to never need this service again but if we do, we will not hesitate to call them. Our new go-to garage fixers! Will be raving to family and friends. Give them a try!
