My garage door spring broke and I was unable to open the door. Sousa's sent a technician within a few hours. The work was excellent and reasonable. I highly recommend this business. I'll certainly use them again.

We had to call them back because the garage door (when we opened it) made a cracking sound. They came out and fixed it but I still a loud cracking sound once in a while. We will have to call them out again, I think they could have done a better job installing it the first time.

I have used Souza's in the past and they have been excellent, and I have been a very good repeat customer. Something has changed. Despite numerous calls, they did not provide and estimate and the estimator did not even call me back. I went from being a huge proponent to being upset that they wasted my time. I told them that they would be sole sourced for the job and now I am behind schedule as I kept waiting for their estimate....

Sousa's Garage Doors, Inc. was very professional and did outstanding work. They cleaned up the job site and hauled away all the debris, including the old garage door. I highly recommend the company.

A lady from Sousa's called to provide a quote and her listening skills were very poor. Tried to tell her that I needed a garage door and opener and tried to get a price on the whole thing. She gave me a quote on a door only and then I had to tell her again that I wanted the door and opener. Then she starts arguing with me. REALLY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I just told her I would go somewhere else. If I have this much trouble getting a simple quote, I can only imagine the problems I would have with the installers and future customer service. Which brings me to my second point, I was going to have to have someone look at the garage, either by me sending in photos or someone coming out to see it. A few quirks that might require me to do some things prior to the installation, but at least I would be able to know what they were and have them done prior to the installation.
Description of Work: Nothing. They couldn't even provide a simple quote because the lady who called me had such poor listening skills and couldn't even understand that I wanted an automatic door opener AND a door!

Response from Sousa's Garage Doors
First, let me say that Sousa's Garage Doors customer service is one of the most important qualities that we try to do our best. With that being said, the Customer who has posted this, did not understand that it was not a simple question the office lady had to answer. Before she can give him the best prices for a door & opener she must ask questions like what he is looking for. Did he want Steel or Wood Door, did he want Non-insulated or Insulated, windows or no windows. At that point he got irritated, and just said he wanted a garage door. When the lady proceed with the Garage door Opener, again, she had to ask if he wanted a Screw Drive, Chain Drive or Belt Drive in order to give him the best prices. He further proceeded to explain that he had further problems with his garage door and the Office lady suggested that we go Service his door and the lady gave him a price for the service call, but informed him that at the same time we could also do a free field check on the type of door & opener he was looking for. The customer seemed very irritated that he could not get bottom line prices for what he wanted and the Office lady told him these were estimated prices and when we go to his residence we would write up a Written Proposal with All prices. The customer at that time was not happy, so he said he would go else where. It is a customers prerogative to go else where, but at Sousa's Garage Doors if the first step is through the Office and the lady is yelling at the customer, which is very unlikely we would not be in business for very long. So we do hope that the customer was able to receive the service he was looking for..

Sousa's service was prompt (within 2 days of my call) and phone confirmations of my appointment were timely. Nelson was able to schedule a visit on a Saturday earlier than planned to fix my garage door, which would not open. He replaced two springs and suggested installation of safety clips to keep the springs from shooting through the ceiling if they broke. After the springs were installed, he discovered that one side of the door was not latching on the inside when closed. He installed a new side bracket and adjusted the door until both sides locked when closed. He also loosened an external latch that had been painted over, and found a rope in his truck that he knotted and tied to a hook on the inside of the door to make it easier to close. He was courteous, professional, and seemed genuinely interested in resolving every usage and safety issue with the door. He also instructed me in how to pull it closed properly. Given the fact that the door is original and is now 60 years old, it's amazing that there are technicians as skilled as Nelson who can restore a garage door to working condition so efficiently.

They were our third bid, so we had an idea what we wanted. It was straight forward with no gimmicks (i.e. the second remote was included, not thrown in as enticement, etc.) When he came in slightly under, we signed immediately. Within a few days they were out installing. The installer had nothing but good things to say about the company, always a good sign. Without Angieslist we would have never found this company. We are very satisfied.

Overall experience was awesome. Made an appointment two days early. Due to some system or manual error, the technician did not show up on time. I called them, the owner realized the error, but they quickly resolved the issue and took care of it. Technician replaced the broken spring and adjusted the entire garage door. In fact, he fixed couple of issues the original door installer did not do right when we installed the door 18 backs back. Had a very good experience overall - highly recommended.

When the repairman showed up on time, he looked at our door and said and quot;I don't think I have the right size door.and quot; He did this just by eyeballing the door. After a few measurements were made, it was true, the door he had was not the correct size. Luckily, he noticed this before doing any kind of work, i.e., he noticed this before removing the old door. While not an ideal situation, Sousa had a new door delivered and installed within 3 days. The new install happened in record time and the repairman went above and beyond when installing. We highly recommend Sousa's Garage Doors. We also felt that the price was excellent ... we had expected this to cost a lot more!
Description of Work: We need a new garage door, as ours had lots of termite damage. The repairman also needed to ensure that the garage door opener worked with the new door.

Cables unspooled and the door was stuck open on Saturday morning holding us hostage. Called Souza's and within 30 minutes Joe Souza showed up. He was able to quickly re-spool the cabling and set it with the right tension. He also fixed the squeaking noise and without asking also tuned the trim settings on my opener. Now my garage door purrs like a kitten and I couldn't be happier! All in all, this was a fantastic experience. Prompt, professional, knowledgeable and the service was out of this world. The cost was also much lower as I had expected to pay 3x-4x what they charged me.
Description of Work: Garage Door cables jumped off track and left garage door 90% open. Also, garage door squeaked like fingernails on a blackboard.

I called several locations early Monday morning. While they all tried schedule for Monday, none of them could arrange it. Sousa's said they could have someone at my place very early Tuesday morning. All the others were not available until later in the day, or the following day. Sousa's also had several very good reviews, and was pricing much more competitively. Nelson showed up early in the morning. He immediately saw the problem, estimated the the spring had broken. He opened the door which allowed me to move the car out, then proceeded to replace the spring. He also found other issues with the original installation framing and fixed one issue completely, and the other issues fixed as best as possible. I got a good education on the door, service for all materials in the system and frame, and had my door again in short time. Nelson was very helpful, quick, professional. He did not just replace the spring and leave but took the time to service everything and provide good care instructions. This was all done for the same competitive basic price.

Joe was able to come out within a couple of days and fixed the garage door within an hour of being on-site. The price was reasonable and he did a little extra upkeep on the door opener to make sure everything was working great. He also suggested some potential upgrades at some point in the future. Very happy.

When the torsion spring on my garage door broke, Sousa's was able to schedule an appointment for the next day to replace it. Joe came out to do the work. He was on time and the work was done quickly and professionally. As he replaced the spring, he took the time to explain the process so I could learn how to do it. He also gave my garage door a general inspection free of charge and explained how to do basic yearly maintenance. The job took well under an hour and Sousa's estimate was lower than 1 other I received from a different Angie's List highly rated company.

This was a good and painless experience. I will use this company again.
Description of Work: Replaced garage door. The garage floor at the door closing is not level and a larger weather barrier was used at the base of the garage door to make the door more nearly weather tight. The garage is now warmer in the winter and the debris and water that would have found its way inside the garage now stays outside. I wish I had made this purchase years ago. The written quote and job completed were exact, no surprises anywhere in the process. The staff that installed the door was prompt, well dressed and cleaned up well.

The estimator did an excellent job of explaining what needed to be done and why. We had another estimate from a highly recommended company but Sousa's did a better job of helping us learn about the different types of garage doors and what might work best for our home. We needed the garage door replaced immediately and the estimator made sure that happened for us. We felt they were very professional, listened to our needs, and we are very satisfied with the installation and with the quality of the door. We believe we got very good value for our money.
