I would run for the hills and stay far away from this place if possible. Worst experience I've ever had dealing with a business. I ordered new garage doors 10 months ago, and still have no idea what's going on or where there at. You have to pull teeth to get very little information out of these people. Trying to get my money / deposit back at this point. I wouldn't let them get anywhere near my house.

DO NOT USE!! WILL NOT WARRANTY WORK!! HORRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICES - RUN!! WILL TREAT YOU HORRIBLE WHEN YOU TRY TO GET AN ISSUE RESOLVED..... READ THE BAD REVIEWS AND THE OWNERS RESPONSES TO SEE HOW THEY CONDUCT BUSINESS BEFORE PROCEEDING!!! Manny was at my location to install a garage door that was purchased through this company . The garage door was installed on February 3rd on March 9th my garage door fell off of the hinges and practically "tacoed" itself almost causing serious injuries!! I of course, called them right away to see if they can come take a look at it due to their install being botched. They of course, sent Manny back out who insisted I broke my own garage door! Now a few things.... I don't even PARK in my garage, so the door is barley used. I use the opener on the wall and the one in my car to open it if I need to when I get home or leave for work so I never actually touch the door. The moment I called and explained the issue I was treated like complete crap! This is a HORRIBLE way to do business and I will continue to spread this message to anyone and everyone. Please - please take your business somewhere else!! You will be SO happy you did!!

Excellent service experience! I was provided with a 2-hour window of time, arrived a few minutes earlier than start time. Ken, service technician, was very friendly and professional. Following completion of work, he explained everything he did in adjustments of rollers. Highly recommend.

Several panels of the door came damaged. American Overhead Door promised replacements within 3 weeks. Now, several years later, they claim they will not fix it since too much time has elapsed. They do not stand behind their work or their word.

Ray was so concerned about the ceiling falling that he and his co-worked came out same day to do the repair and see what the actual problem was. He found that the brace (which was originally installed by the home builder) was actually screwed into an unstable piece of wood that was not a support. The builder added this piece of wood under the sheet rock (why we don't know) so when the original door was installed the brace was screwed into an unattached piece of wood. Another inch and the brace would have been screwed into the proper support. The original door was light so nothing happened until we had a quality door installed. They moved the brace over to where it was suppose to be and fixed the ceiling sheet rock. They did not charge me for the repair even though it was not their fault. American is an awesome company with a great product and awesome people. I would not hesitate to use this company again and again.
Description of Work: We had a new heavy duty garage door installed by American in April. I wrote a great review on them then as the product, service etc. is awesome. Last week we noticed our garage ceiling was buckling and falling at the garage door brace location. Ray (quality control) came out and inspected it. Said it looked like the main board was broken and it needed repair. He said he would get with us to set up a scheduled repair.

a new system.
Description of Work: Installed new garage door opener with a keypad and 2 remotes. Old sears system had quit working. New belt drive is much quieter. The serviceman that installed the system was on time, called ahead to let me know he was on his way, which I appreciate that. The only issue that I had with the installation was that I had to provide the extension cord that runs from the opener to the outlet. Luckily I had one in the garage otherwise I'm not sure what would have happened if I hadn't had that one extension cord. I then had to go out and buy a new extension cord to replace the one that the serviceman used.........which was an extra cost that I hadn't expected. Nothing was said when I called the company and scheduled the installation of the new system that I needed to provide the extension cord. I feel that they should come with all the tools and possible tools that they might need to install

Our old wooden door was old, 0 RA value, seals gone, dangerous and slow 1960's opener, torsion spring broke, messy greasy railings, door was inop and overall just needed an overhaul. These guys were great! Good written estimates, good order process, they even came down on price after my wife haggled a bit. We are very impressed with the products they install. Doors seem to be high quality, look very nice. Seals up nice, insulative properties are evident, but the beltdrive opener by liftmaster is super nice. This door opens and closes so fast and super quiet. It's a massive difference and overall we're very pleased. New door has been in for a week so far. It took 3 wks. for our door to come in and I'm not sure if that is the standard, but it did arrive when they said it would and install was right on time. My wife forgot to remove the alarm magnet off of the old door they hauled away, she called them and they brought it out the next day and finished programming the keypad. Overall we're very pleased with the experience with these guys.
Description of Work: Removed and hauled away old garage door, rails, opener. Installed dual sided insulated door with window panel, remote, keypad, seals, and finished.

The next morning, two salesmen arrived and within about a minute had the new remote programmed and working. They made an effort to program the one I had purchased from Sears, but they too could not get it to work. About that time my husband pulled into the driveway, and they offered to program a built in unit in our car so that would also open the door. We didn't even know it was there! I have NEVER worked with two more friendly, helpful, and generous people. If I could give them a dozen star rating, I would! I highly recommend this company for any garage door work you may have. I know we will never use anyone else!
Description of Work: I have a really old garage door opener system, A Craftsman by Sears for which they no longer make remotes. I had purchased a Universal remote from Sears that was said to work with this model. It didn't! I struggled to try and get it programed, and it just didn't happen. I called American, late in the afternoon, and the gentleman told me they had an opener that was originally made for that system. Their usual service call would be waived, and the salesman would bring it by in the morning, program it for me, and charge me only for the remote unit.

All together I am very happy with their service. If I could suggest one improvement it would to improve the workers in the field and the home office communication. I was offered a 30 min call ahead before the worker got to my house. Since I work during the day, I appreciated this option. However, the first visit, they never called. The worker called me from his truck in front of my house. The second time...I did receive a call from their office but it was 5 mins before the worker got to my house. I respect the fact that the company didn't charge me for the time the workers was waiting for me. They was very fair about it...I just felt bad that they was waiting on me. Again, I would like to say that I was very happy with their work and the price.
Description of Work: My Garage door's spring busted. I called on a Sunday, left a message and never received a call back. I contacted them again on Monday and all went very well. They scheduled for a worker to be out in a couple of days. Once they got there they realized that they needed to order the spring so they did a temp fix. In less than a week they revisited and install the spring.

Response from American Overhead Door
Phone calls on Sunday that are not emergency service calls get returned on Monday. Our scheduling department does call to schedule when the time is best for the customer during 8 - 5 M-F. We did clamp the spring and ordered the non standard spring. We installed the spring as quick as possible. We would rather wait for you at the house than you wait on us. We did have a job a few miles away so, the installer just waited for the customer at the house. We did not receive the email for the service on Sunday or we would have called or emailed on Sunday. American Overhead Door tries to work at your schedule and get you fixed up as fast as we can. I am glad you were happy with our service.

The price was what they said it was going to be. They were very efficient and they came out and did what they said they were going to do when they said they would do it. They cleaned up after themselves and he was very good about punctuality. He was a little late and he called me ahead to let me know where he was and when he would be here.

Response from American Overhead Door
This customer was called to schedule an appointment. When we were an hour from the appointment and called the 3 numbers the customer gave us. The three numbers and three different people did not return the calls. Since we assume that nobody is home or available for the appointment, we scheduled another appointment before that job. We received a call back asking where we were after the appointment time. We told the homewoner that we could be there in 45 minutes because we did not receive a call back. The customer said that they did not want us to come to there house anymore. So we cancelled the appointment. We had a service person that was ready and able to come to the house at appointment time. We tell everybody that will call when we are close to coming to the house so, that they can make sure that they are home. We are sorry that if we do not receive a call back from 3 different numbers with multiple phone calls by American Overhead Door that we are not going to drive to a house with nobody home.

From the moment I called, the people at American Overhead Door were polite and professional. I called around noon and they let me know that they could come by to repair our broken door springs later that day. When they arrived the replaced both springs and secured the springs themselves. Overall it was a very easy experience with a great company, I would definately recommend their service and use them in the future.
