TOP NOTCH GARAGE DOORS

The job involved putting a custom garage door on my Venice duplex was especially tricky as it's a 1928 building, and the garage door space was shall we say, non-standard. And there were some other issues to deal with as well. But the Top Notch installer got it all right. The Venice garage door cost $1465. The Venice job, included the door, the molding, a garage door opener an security keypad and an extra remote. The costs on the Glendale were maybe a little more, as the door was bigger, and again involved a keypad and extra remote, plus a "safety release" Very fair price for all this... Call Top Notch and speak with Bernie, the owner. He's honest, fair, engaging, professional, and his installer is also a very good guy, skilled, adaptable, prompt and professional. I would call Top Notch without hesitation for any similar project. No worries! Call Bernie! You won't be disappointed!

I phoned Bernie this morning when the spring broke on the garage door. He said he would do his best to come by later today or tomorrow and would call me back either way. Less than an hour later he phoned to ask if I would be home in 30 minutes. He arrived and got right to work. The entire job took just under an hour. I could not thank him enough! Not only would I use him again, I will recommend him to anyone I know who needs a garage door repaired or replaced. When this one needs replacing, I will be phoning him to do the job.

Wonderful experience. Total time required for repair was less than 15 minutes. Dave refused to even charge for a service call! I will certainly call TOP NOCTCH GARAGE DOORS in the future and recommend the company to all my friends and family.

It went very well overall. Garage door now works like new.

Top Notch's service was excellent. Bernie was friendly and knowledgeable on the phone. He arrived promptly and quickly evaluated the garage door opener. He performed the service on the spot and did not try to sell me more than I needed. I really appreciate Bernie's timeliness and quick attention to the job. I would definitely use Bernie in the future.

I called Bernie to replace my garage door and install my new garage door opener. When Bernie arrived, he said my door was in good shaped and just needed the weather stripping replaced and some adjustments. We scheduled the work to be done on 1/24. On the scheduled day, it was raining and Bernie had the flu. He called and "asked" if we could reschedule, which was fine with me. He arrived on time yesterday and performed the agreed to work. He did a GREAT job and my garage door has never work so good!!

Called for service since they were #1 on Angie's List. Bernie, who all reviews raved about, told me he had a cold and to call back when he was feeling better. He then hung up. I called someone else.

We have a one piece garage door and it was stuck after having a couple of weeks of closing only when it was "helped" I called Top Notch and got a technician right away. He was in the area and able to come over immediately, and he did come over right away which was fantastic. I told him we had jerry-rigged the door and it might be time to fix it on the phone but after I descirbed the problem, he said you probably don't need a new door, it's just the sensitivity needs to be adjusted. He was really polite and helpful and fixed the balance of the springs. I told him the last guy who replaced the springs tried really hard to get me to buy a new door. He said he was probably just trying to upsell, but I didn't need one. If every service person was this honest getting things fixed would be a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this company. When something is broken, it was great to have someone come out so quickly and be honest about what the job requires and do a good job. Thanks for the professionalism Top Notch, you definitely did a top notch job for us.

Bernie was responsive, professional and punctual in every aspect of the service. He specializes in garage doors, so you have the confidence that he is an expert. The estimate was spot on and the results were perfect. I was grateful that I spent the money to get it repaired right and only regretted that I didn't do it sooner. I would recommend Top Notch and Bernie to anyone with garage door repair needs.

On Time Problem evaluated Problem fixed Reasonable bill

Garage door had become unbalanced, with one side low when door was in open position. We thought the door might need to be replaced. Instead, Bernie recommended replacing the spring, which he did, correcting the problem. We would recommend him to others and would call him again.

Bernie's professionalism is a big plus! He was frank and forthcoming about options and recommendations, and friendly from start to finish. I would not hesitate to call him in the future nor to recommend him highly to Angie's list users!

He arrived on time and fixed the problem very quickly. He did an excellent job. Very nice and helpful. I would certainly use his services again.

The garage door and opener are perfect. I appreciated the explanations I received on what to do in case of a power outage also. This is an excellent company not only for their good work, but for their pleasant personalities and willingness to take the time to explain everything.

Bernie was very professional. He showed up on time, found the problem immediately and came back the next day with the part. The repair was done in no time. I would definitely recommend Top Notch for garage door repairs.

I purchased a new home and knew the garage door was one item that would eventually need to be replaced. But within the first week, I found myself trapped in the garage due to a malfunctioning opener and bent rails on the extremely old, heavy door. Since the opener was covered under the home warranty, I called that company first, who sent someone out who said they could not tell exactly what needed to be done with the opener until the busted door was replaced. They gave me an estimate of $1500 just for the door replacement. I knew that was high, so I called Top Notch the next day. Bernie came out and gave me an estimate of 995 for the door, and he also estimated that the opener would be 395 to replace (he would throw in a free extra opener). I talked to the insurance company, and eventually got both the door and the opener installed by Top Notch. The installer arrived on time (in fact, a few minutes early). It took the poor guy several hours to dismantle that old piece of junk, and it was a VERY hot day, but in the end I got not only a much better, working garage door, but 2 new openers and an external keypad as well. At my request, the installer also happily moved the inside wall opener to another wall so that it would be more convenient for me to press when coming and going.

Very well. Bernie was punctual and had the appropriate part on his truck, as promised. All was quickly and professionally done.

I called Bernie on Thursday evening. Fully expecting to leave a voicemail, I was surprised when he picked up in person. He said he could be at my home the following morning! And he was. Punctual, professional, clear about diagnosis and had parts necessary with him to do the job on the spot. Honest to a fault, as he admitted breaking another small part and replacing it at his cost. I made him an espresso, and perhaps my only complaint was his clumsiness in breaking the antique Italian demitasse I'd provided him. Then again I must take responsibility for putting my cup at risk. He was kind enough (unprompted by me) to give additional discount for breakage! Such a nice guy. I look forward to the next time I have work for him.

Based on Angie's List reviews I called Top Notch Garage Door and spoke with Bernie. When I told him the problem over the phone Bernie gave me a few reasons why it could be happening along with a quote that sounded reasonable. I set up an appointment for the next day. Bernie showed up within the one hour window he gave me. He looked at every potential reason as to why the door was malfunctioning. It turned out that my door was a bit of a mystery, but Bernie had it working properly once again. Not only are his prices fair, but he also gave me a new circuit board that and didn't charge for it. Bernie is fantastic! He is professional, honest, and friendly. I would not hesitate recommending Bernie to my friends.

I came home at 3pm on a Friday afternoon to find someone had tried to break in to my garage. The door is an 40 year old double wooden door and it was sitting lopsided and I couldn't open it. I called Bernie at Topnotch and he came that day. I was very grateful because it was after 3pm on a Friday, I figured no one would come till Monday. Bernie came and took care of the problem. He straightened the door and made it easy to open. Rehung the springs and checked all the bolts. Bernie knows what he's doing and he is polite. I would highly recommend him.

Came the same day I called and I didn't even indicate it was urgent. An inspection was made of the garage door, it was pointed out to me that a hinge was broken, as were the springs on the left hand side. They were obvious problems once identified. The parts were available in the truck and the job was performed quickly and efficiently. Bernie was extremely affable and cordial - the type of person you feel you've known for years even though you just met.I have used another garage door company in the past and they were horrible in every imaginable category.Top Notch IS Top Notch and I will definitely call this company in the future for services and would not hesitate to recommend Came the same day I called and I didn't even indicate it was urgent.

Bernie came out and was very informative. He gave a good price and had some good recommendations. I also like that thy recycle the old doors. When I gave him the go ahead he ordered the new door and called me the next week to come and install it. They installed it quickly and professionally and it looks great. I would use Bernie and Top Notch Garage Doors again and would recommend.

Excellent. Bernie came as promised. He examined the garage doors and the electrical supply in the garage. We discussed the options, and he told me how much it would cost. He had brought all supplies and equipment with him, and he proceeded to work. At various times during the job I checked in on his progress. At the end, he trained me and the tenant who uses the other garage in the use of the equipment. He was neat, pleasant, and professional.

It went excellent from start to finish.
