Report
We had $10,000 USD of garage doors installed on our house a couple years back. I trusted the technicians to do a proper job and hopefully they did. My issue is that I believe after speaking with CloPay my doors are out of balance in that the springs do not support / assist in opening the garage doors manully. I spoke with someone at OGD and they said I am out of warranty and a trip charge to repair the situation was necessary.
In hindsight I should have had the install techs demonstrate that the doors were properly balanced and then had them checked within the 1 year installation warranty. My bad. UPDATE- Owner took an active role and had a technician (Brad) come out to inspect the doors. Brad adjusted both doors and performed a few other maintenance items.

Cable on my garage door snapped. My neighbor recommended I call. Steve was out the next day and was very upfront and honest. He was polite, professional, and gave me many options. I appreciated this is a family owned company. The call center was great. They were prompt and helped me right away with scheduling. I scheduled a repair and Nathan was my technician that came out. He was super courteous, professional, very educated and helpful.
He didn't nickel and dime us and actually cared. We were very satisfied with his workmanship, professionalism, and attitude. He did a great job and helped us to the extreme. We're very thankful and appreciative for this family owned business. Support family owned. You won't go wrong with this company. We are so pleased!

We originally reached out to OGD to help adjust our old door, which they did very well. During the technicians visit, we inquired about replacing everything and decided to order a new door that day. The proactive and professional communication/systems was top notch with OGD. They sent a text and email the day of the install with the technician's name and photo. I would highly recommend OGD if you are looking to upgrade your door/opener.
