Service was fast and professional, but I was charged $ 644 to replace 2 springs. Looked at other prices afterwards and they were double the price of other companies. Technician was only at my house fo 50 minutes. Parts on line ran about 85$ per spring.

Perfect. Jorge arrived an hour early, good for me. He not only replaced the spring, he also did a proper service so I won’t need to call ADS until next March. I couldn’t be happier with the service Jorge provided, I will request him for my next service!

After speaking with Justin who answered the phone and took my information, John came out to give me an estimate for replacing two wooden garage doors and was very thorough and helpful. However, ten days, two requests, and zero estimates later, I gave up on ADS being able or willing to work with me. Other than the initial visit by John, no one from ADS has contacted me to let me know of any issues in being able to do what I requested.

Left a message due to their office was closed when I called. Few minutes, after they opened, I received a phone call from ADS. I was told, Justin, tehnician, will be at my home between 10 AM - 2PM. Well Justin, arrived at approximately 10 AM. Took 45 minutes to replace 2 springs and 10 door rollers. Excellent service.

Justin installed a garage door opener and serviced two others. We are ecstatic with the results! The new opener is as quiet as a whisper. Justin is personable, professional, and informative. We highly recommend him and ADS!

I am very happy with the service from ADS. John was wonderful. He installed the opener and re-balanced the door. He reviewed how the opener works and provided an overview of the safety features. He also answered my questions and concerns as the opener I purchased has some smart technology features that I didn't expect. It took him about 90 minutes overall. He arrived on time and took care of everything including hauling away the old opener and the related trash. I highly recommend ADS.

My old garage door broke and was unusable I called ADS and they came out within an hour and made temporary repairs to my door so that I was able to use it until they installed a new door. Several days later they installed a new garage door at a very reasonable price. It has worked perfectly since. I have used this company for many years and have always been satisfied with their service. I would highly recommend this company.

I decided to use this company since they had good reviews and also were the only company that could come out in a timely manner. One other company on Angies list was booked 1 month aheah, another company would not answer their phone and their voicemail was full, so I couldn't leave message. I just needed them to replace the garage door springs. The price was about $80 more than what the estimate was over the phone and I don't know what other companies charge for the same service, but it seemed the price was a bit steep for this service. Perhaps I should have looked a for a coupon first. They did come out when they said they would, and repair was completed without any problems.

Leaving for work at 400am I knocked over a box that impacted by garage door. I called several companies on Angie's list, and ADS was the first to respond and the first to book (one company had to schedule 7 days out and this was not an option for us for a variety of reasons.) The technician, SAL, was friendly, professional and while it was a simple fix, he took great pains in assuring I knew the operation of my garage door opener. I could not be more pleased and would gladly refer this company to anyone needing garage door assistance.
Description of Work: Technician adjusted the eye on my opener, but gave me orientation on the entire garage door in the process.

The technician arrived on time, is friendly, efficient and thorough. He is very patient with questions and he made sure the doors were running smoothly. The problems with the door had to do with the manufacturer and ADS was very helpful in getting us the replacement doors. We are very satisfied with this company and would continue to use them and highly recommend them,
Description of Work: Originally we had our new garage doors installed in 2003 and we also had new doors installed at my mother-in-laws home. Since then we have had ADS come out and put in new garage door openers and to service the doors to keep them working nice. Unfortunately, we did need to have our doors replaced under the warranty but ADS went to bat for us with the manufacturer and provided the documentation necessary to have the doors replaced. They arrived today to replace the doors. Jeff is efficient, friendly and thorough. He called to let us know he was on the way (on time) and he made sure to clean up the doors and have everything running smoothly before he left.

I called and made an appointment for Wayne to come to my home for an estimate on a new door. The appointment was for Friday, July 13th @ 1PM. Unfortunately, Wayne never showed up, nor did he call to let me know he was not showing. This may be a fine company, however, first impressions are lasting. Update 08/09/2012: I was the homeowner who previously gave this company an "F" rating for failing to show up for a scheduled appointment. After my post, the company contacted me almost immediately, sincerely apologized and fully explained how the missed appointment happened. Sometimes things "just happen" in business, however, it is how a company proceeds to remedy a problem that really matters. In my case, the company went to "extraordinary measures" to remedy the situation. Their sales person was at my door in a matter of hours and made an excellent detailed presentation of door options available. Over the next week or so I had contact with the company on multiple occasions with questions and on each occasion I received a prompt courteous response, along with a very generous discount to offset the initial inconvenience. I felt their product and the way they conducted themselves warranted giving them my business. The installer arrived promptly, was courteous and proficient. Within a matter of hours.... old door gone and new door installed. I am very satisfied with the way this company conducts business. As I mentioned in my previous post, "first impressions are lasting", however, Sometimes, first impressions are incorrect.Thank You
Description of Work: No services performed. This was a visit for an estimate only. Update 08/09/2012: Replacement of old wooden flip-up garage door with new style roll up.

I don't have any complaints about the work performed, however this is the second time I have used them and both times it took quite a while for the work to get done. The second time was literally weeks later.
Description of Work: Both times our pedestrian gate was fixed, which often breaks from use and ground movement.

I have used this company multiple times since 1999 when they installed my roll-up door. When it stopped working correctly, I called ADS and described what was happening. The gal on the phone knew exactly what the problem was. A repair man came out either that day or the next and replaced the torsion spring that lifts the door. I was very happy with the response time and service performed.

I liked the crew. It was very good. I had asked him about a senior discount and he kind of made it seem like it was an imposition, that he had to go and rewrite the invoice. Other than that, I was satisfied with the work that was done, which was impressive. Considering it was about a brand new garage door, I would say the price was fair. The quality was good. My overall experience with them was good and will use them in the future.

Perfectly. Called to set an appointment, which we were able to set for the following day. They called later to confirm the appointment, and the serviceman called to narrow the 2-hour window down to 1/2-hour. Arrived on time, serviced the door, took the time change all the batteries and show me some extras (safety, oil points, etc.). The entire experience was fast, easy, and done correctly.

The technician that has done this work has been able to diagnose and anticipate any problems and I believe that his advice is genuine and well given. I am very comfortable with this company, their responsiveness to my requests for appointments, and any follow-up I request. I have two garage doors (one single, one double door). All aspects of the door system from motor to all working parts of the door system are completely inspected, tuned, and lubricated. Following the maintenance process, my technician tests the entire price from end-to-end.
Description of Work: I have used ADS to maintain and repair my automatic garage door on 3 occasions. Each service has been performed very professionally and I have great confidence in the honest and skilled technician that provides these services. I have my door balanced, tuned, and lubricated about once a year to maintain best operations. I would highly recommend this service to my neighbors and friends.

They did well. They came out quickly. The maintenance guy knew what he was doing. I didn't get them from Angie's List. I have used them and have called them in the past. I didn't spend much. I called them back because I found another crack. He told me that he would have to charge us another visit fee and I thought to myself why he didn't check that when he was here.
