Greg was on time; he called prior to coming out as promised. I called him this morning and was pleased he could make it out same day. Service was completed quickly. DECEMBER update - it was a bit difficult to get return calls, so due to scheduling issues. And, after two weeks of waiting I just wanted to door fixed so I didn't do much checking on the replacement opener cost. The door appears to be working correctly after two weeks of the replacement.
Description of Work: Garage door was assessed for problem related to sticking as it descended. The door was serviced and rollers replaced. DECEMBER Update - after leaving town, the door did not work again. After two weeks of calls, finally got a new opener.

Garage door cable was off pulley. The door was partially open and I couldn't open or close it. Came out within an hour and discovered that not only was the cable of the pulley, the cable was severely frayed and one of the springs was broken. He was able to fixed everything (truck is very well stocked!). Thanks for the great service!

Able Garage Doors were professional and efficient in fixing my garage door. I called in an emergency situation when the garage door wouldn't open, Greg was at my house in a couple hours and had the door fixed in thirty for a reasonable price. I will recommend Abel's and use them again.

He should up an hour early and got right to work. Greg was clean organized and well stocked. Greg was very personable and as we talked he never paused while fixing the door in about 45 min. The door works better now than it did at the day of install many years ago. we got really lucky to have found his number on Angie's list. Thank you Greg for a job well done.
Description of Work: My garage door was closed and hit an object on one side and bent everything up cracked a hinge and the door would have fallen had it not been forth 2 wheels on one side jammed in the track. the cable sprung to one side rendering the door unmovable. Greg realigned everything replaced several past their prime parts (all of which he had in stock on his truck). and did some great metal work repairing the tracks. it is nice to watch a real craftsman at his job.

He returned my initial call within 24 hours and send the guy out the next day. The young mad that came out was very competent. He stayed working on the job until he was sure that the garage door was opening and closing with our clickers. We had to change the clickers so that we have a new unique code for access. He also double checked if there was anything in our garage door that isn't in good shape, so he checked a couple of places to make sure that it continues to work smoothly. I assume it was a pretty good price. I didn't do any comparison.
Description of Work: Garage Door experts sent a guy over here to fix the garage door and changed the switches on the garage door.

I had a single spring on a 2 car garage that was broken. My car was stuck inside. Greg installed 2 springs so next time 1 spring breaks I will still be able to get my car out.
Description of Work: Did my research online and call several companies. Greg at Able Garage Door seemed the most knowledgeable and explained all my options. Other companies did not take the time to explain the process on how my door would get fixed and they did not give my options.

We noticed the arm bracket that pulls the garage door up/down was starting to pull away from the garage door. Sensing that this could be a real problem in the making if we didn't get it fixed promptly, spurred us to call Abel Garage Door that Wednesday evening. Greg provided an estimate over the phone that was quite reasonable and is pretty much standard. He was willing to send someone the very next day, but unfortunately, we had prior commitments. We were able to agree on Friday evening for the technician to come out and repair the door. In contrast, the other two garage door companies we called told us they could come out almost a week from the time we called. Interestingly enough, when I called one of the companies back to cancel the next week's appointment they could all of a sudden accommodate us even after we asked if they could come sooner in the first place. That made us appreciate Greg even more. Charles, the technician, showed up right on time and got right to work fixing the garage. He was able to repair the garage door even though it's an older garage door and parts may have been a bit more difficult to match up. He did a great job at repairing and servicing our door. His professionalism was greatly appreciated.

The owner gave an accurate estimate over the phone and offerred to complete the job the same day. Due to my schedule, I scheduled the work the next day. He arrived during the time period that he had told me he would arrive and called in advance to let me know he was on his way. He quickly assessed the problem and completed the work. The work was completed within the estimate and I only needed to buy a $15 part. He seemed knowledgeable and was professional.

Very happy with the help on the phone when I called to set appointment, service tech was sent to my home and he arrived promptly. Really appreciated the call that service tech was on his way.

We have decided to have a new garage opener installed and will have this company take care of it.

*** CALL THESE GUYS FIRST ***. Excellent! Will definitely call for future garage related work They were able to fix broken springs same day, which was important to me and the deciding factor. Very professional, and reasonable charges (Charges include coupon) . Owner came to fix the garage door himself. Hard working and honest. Lubricated and serviced two garage doors. No up-sell which I appreciated. Thanks!

Did what they said they were going to do. On time. Honored Angies List discount coupon.
Description of Work: Garage door was intermittently not closing. On first call for service, I was helped over the phone to do some things myself that might resolve the problem. After I was unable to fix the problem myself, I called again and scheduled a service appoinment. Problem was identified and fixed and over PM service was done on door and equipment. Have had no problems since service call.

Our garage door would not open and on my cursory examination the spring was broken. Called Abel and they were finishing a job and came over about one hour later, just as they said they would. The repairman was quite professional and explained what was wrong and how he would repair it along with the estimated cost. In addition he found a part that was also broken and was causing all of the noise I originally heard when trying to open the garage door. Again he took the time to show me the part and how it was broken before replacing it. Very professional and would use them again.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken spring and the other which was aging. Replaced the part that goes along the screw drive and attaches to the door.

I contacted Mike with Abel Garage Door on 6/18/12 and scheduled a service call for 6/21/12. Mike arrived on time and got right to work. I had been having trouble with the door. There were times when the door would start to go up and then suddenly stop or start to come down and suddenly stop. Mike did a thorough inspection of the door and identified that when the door was initially installed, the electrical wiring was not the best. He identified that there was likely a short in the junction box into which the motor was plugged. Given the way in which the door was originally installed, it would not be easy for an electrician to get to the junction box so Mike quickly and easily moved the mechanism to that an electrician can easily access the electrical supply for the door. While Mike was here, he performed a regular maintenance on the door, which likely had never been done since it's installation in 1998. In addition, he identified that the rollers on the door were starting to wobble and indicated that eventually they would have to be replaced. He quoted me a price and given my positive experience with Mike and Abel Garage Door, I had Mike replace all of the rollers. He made some additional adjustments to the springs so that the door goes up and down more easily. Once again...this is another very positive experience for me identifying a company through Angie's List. I don't think anyone really like spending money on repairs but for me, I'd be happy to give my money to folks like this any day. Mike was personable, knowledgeable, professional and an all around nice guy. If you?re looking for a company to do some work on your garage door, I highly recommend Abel Garage Door.

My remote for my garage door would only open the door, not close it and I had to hold down the button on the wall the entire time for the door to close. I called Abel Garage on Monday or Tuesday for them to come out and look at it, they were able to come out on Saturday morning which was nice since I work during the week. My appointment time was between 9 and 11 A.M., he called around 9:30 A.M. to let me know he would be there in 30 minutes. He was nice and courteous when he arrived, I explained the issues to him and I went back inside while he worked on the garage door. He knocked on my door maybe 30 or 40 minutes later to say he had fixed the problem. He had replaced two infrared sensors, so now the remote worked properly and so did the button on the wall. He wrote me out an invoice and I paid him by check. He was very nice and the whole appointment took less time than I thought it would and he was able to fix it without having to come back, which was nice. I will definitely hire them again if I have problems with my garage door, but hopefully I won't.

Outstanding. They have always arrived immediately and gotten us exactly what we needed. They stand behind their products too. Once, when the circuit board blew out on our Liftmaster (no fault of theirs), they ordered the replacement via FedEX and installed it immediately - no charge because the opener was fairly new. Very high quality and professional. We feel that we have our own garage door person.
