I had them install a garage door in 2010 and was given great advice on oiling the springs and am very happy to get 8 years from them. However when I called them to have them come out and fix them. They did not return calls for over 3 days. I do realize that I live in Eagan and they are located in Elk River. And when they did come out after given me a wide window of when they could come out. Jeff (owner) was late.
I had the feeling that my business was not appreciated. I asked if he happen to have a used opener for sale and he said he did. He initially quoted me $35 and told me they are $48 new in the stores. I did not do my homework and agreed to purchase his used opener. However when it was time to settle the repair bill he billed me $45 for the opener. I trust them on the work just not their character.

Fast, reliable and professional service. Arrived on time and did a great job of servicing and repairing our opener. Also did a courtesy check of our other opener and door to make sure they were working properly. Highly recommend this company.

Had door springs replaced today and the whole experience couldn't have been better. No question I will be recommending them in the future. Pricing was very fair and the service was professional. I also like supporting the local small business owner. Don't hesitate to call them!
