There was nothing really wrong with our door it just needed some oil. My husband wanted him to put a plastic guard on the bottom of the door and said it would be an additional $119.00. I don’t think the value was there and we didn’t get our money worth.
Description of Work: We purchased a Big Deal for $99 for Garage Door Quieting/Reconditioning Package Including Materials.

The Alcosta technician was on-time and did an excellent job. He explained what he was doing, why he was doing it and if it was a maintenance item, how I could do it myself in the future. I am very satisfied and would highly recommend Alcosta for garage door service.
Description of Work: This service was to 'tune-up' my garage door and replace the original steel rollers with new Teflon rollers. He also checked and tightened all the bolts on the door, made some adjustments to the tracks and even chipped out some sloppy concrete from the original construction that was causing the bottom of one of the tracks to be a little twisted and occasionally caused the door to bind..

The installation went very well. As I said before, the tech arrived on time, cleaned up, did the work and left.

He called and said they could be out that afternoon. He was on time and very professional. I like to watch people do the work and ask questions and learn. He was friendly and answered my questions. In addition to the $99. for garage door tune-up, my springs were very old, rusty, and had caused the garage door to pause at the half-way point for the last year. (I had to start the opener, then run to to the door and help it go up all the way, or just duck under the door). He replaced those for $360. Watching him, I would not have liked to replace them myself... a bit tricky and he knew how to do it correctly and safely. The door now works quietly and properly. I am pleased with the result. (by the way, they originally installed my garage door many years ago).
Description of Work: He replaced the rollers and oiled all the joints for the $99.00 He replaced the springs for an additional $360.00

This was the most horrible experience we had with over three years of using Angie's list. We never had any problems in the past; we have used the list to get several recommendations. So why such a bad experience: 1. We bought the deal thinking that the person would come and fix the garage. As soon as he came in, within 2 minutes he told us oh you have to fix this, I will be charging you extra for this, this is not on the list. The deal is worth 229 bucks; I am not sure when did garage fixing became that expensive. 2. When we asked him to explain him the complete things that are covered in the deal, he refused. He repeatedly told us that his boss is not allowing him to fix this within the deal. This was completely frustrating. 3. After one hour of work, he told us a bill of 164 bucks, i.e. 229 + 164 = 400 for one hour of work. Really? Note, that there were no extra parts, this was for a one man service. 4. The thing was not even fixed, and as soon as he left, it came apart again. 5. This felt like a big ponzi scheme. We felt as if we were tricked into getting this deal, so that they can just come in and than quote us completely irrational amount of money for fixing.
Description of Work: - Chaging rollers, and putting oil. - Programming one remote.

I got the deal for quieting my garage door. I thought it included maintenance but found out it didn't when the serviceman arrived. I had him do both, and he also found that the eye beam that prevents the door from closing when something/someone is in the way was also not working properly. I had him fix that as well. The serviceman worked quickly and did a great job. The garage door is much quieter and works well.
Description of Work: Replaced metal rollers on garage door with plastic rollers to quiet - $99 Service opener and lube springs - $89 Replace eye beam - $60

Roger was polite and professional - he ended up being late, but called to let me know before hand.
Description of Work: I purchased an "Angie's Deal" to get our garage doors "quieted and reconditioned". While the technician was working on that, he noticed that a spring was broken on one of the doors; he was able to replace the spring right then and there - now I have quiet, safe and smooth running garage doors.I don't know if $360 for the new spring was a good price or not, but I'm happy to have everything working!

I bought an angies deal with these guys to have quieter rollers installed on my garage door because it was so loud. The guy came out, took care of the work, then suggested if I wanted a quieter garage door that doesn't wake the neighbors that I should buy one of his door openers that was slightly on sale. I agreed to this and set up an appointment to have a guy come and install it. The Guy who came out was quite amiable. I found him interesting and a hard worker. The garage door is now super quiet, I can open and close it without wondering if I am waking the neighbor. Thanks.
Description of Work: New quiet door rollers. New quiet garage door opener.

The installation only took less than an hour and works up to expectation
Description of Work: I needed a new garage door opener. They came within 2 hours of my calling them. there was no "up-sell", they recommended the basic model which is all that I needed. They had to reschedule the installation by one day, but I had told them that I wasn't in a hurry. After the installation I was shown how to maintain the unit to make it last. Very consumer friendly.

The guy came out in the morning and did some work on the garage door for $99. Then he saw that the spring was broken and so he quoted me another $360 for the spring. I spoke to his boss and he brought it down for $300. I don’t know if I got a good deal or not. I seemed like I paid too much. He finished the job in less than an hour. He seemed to have done a decent job and the door is working fine. I would definitely shop around for a better price in future.
Description of Work: Alcosta Overhead Door Company replaced the spring, the roller, lubricated and adjusted the mechanism last week.

The owner came to give an estimate on the same day that I called the company. I accepted the bid, and the installer was there within 2 hours to install the product. The entire time, from the first phone call, took about 4 hours!

I called and got same day service. Very timely, professional, and knowledgeable. Suggested a cheaper solution to the problem. Great experience.
Description of Work: Serviced garage door that has not been oiled or serviced since the house was built, 2001. Replaced the laser sensors which were too old to work properly (the door would close and go up again). Also, the door was going up angled due to improperly matched wheel. He fixed this as well. Everything was done at once and the door is not only working, it's much more quiet and smooth.

This was done after another company had come around and told us that we needed a whole new motor for the opener. These guys were honest and very knowledgeable about garage doors. I would highly recommend them to others with older model overhead doors.
Description of Work: They figured out the door stop in the end of the run had fallen out. They put in a new stop and made some adjustments and it works fine now. The repair took half an hour.
