Description of Work: Garage door was damaged, called that day they were able to come out and replace both old doors with nerw ones. When asked if we should replace the automatic openers, he said we could but they were in good shape and it was an unnecessary expense. They were very professional and cleaned up when the job was completed. Great people to work with.

Very professional. Carlson Garage Doors did exactly what they promised and the communication was excellent, calling to let you know when they will be there to get the work done and showing up precisely on time. Great company to deal with. Personally, I prefer to work with a family owned company like Carlson rather than a large company. Reasonably priced, excellent work, neat, no mess left behind, trustworthy. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend this company. Thanks Paul and Erick for the great service.

Met with Paul less than two weeks earlier- picked out door and he advised doors would be in with in two weeks. He called about a week and i/2 later and asked if he could come the next day. I left for work but I think they arrived around 9:00 am. I did not need to be there...just left opener in a place they could find. They called once to verify placement of windows on doors. I got home around 1:30 and they were almost done with the job. They were very friendly and cordial. By 2:30, they were done and then went through how to operate everything. They cleaned the area and swept garage. I wrote them a check for the work. They left me all of the paperwork for all products installed as well as their card if I had any questions or problems.
Description of Work: replaced and removed two garage doors and openers. Installed safety beam at base of garage door. Also installed key pad opener.

Mr Carlson (a father and son operation) quoted me a price over the phone and stuck to it at installation. Was friendly and polite, showed up on time, cleaned up afterwards, spent more time than he thought he'd need to take because he ran into some issue. But did not charge anything extra. This was for my mother's home. He heard me say to my mother that I would pull out the owners manual for her car and activate her car's remote key entry for the new garage door opener. Mr Carlson said he'd be happy to do that for her. I had recently had the same opener installed at my home in NJ and this job was done equally well but for less money. Highly recommended!

Very professional company and punctual, too. They did what they said they would do and for the price quoted to me over the phone. No hidden charges. They cleaned up after themselves and even adjusted the spring tension before they left. The quality of the parts and installation are top-notch. Be sure to spend some time with them on the phone BEFORE they come to your home. They were very eager to come out and replace my opener, but I had to ask several questions before I knew exactly what to expect when they showed up. Ask: What brand do they install? They seem to carry only one brand of opener. Fine by me, I just wanted to be sure it was a quality name-brand Ask: How much do they charge? Duh... but they were ready to simply show up without having this discussion. That being said, the price charged was exactly the price quoted over the phone. Ask: If the price includes removal and disposal of the old opener? Ask: Is that the price for a 1/2 horsepower or 1/3 horsepower.
Description of Work: Removed old garage door opener and replaced with a new unit.

The day I made the appt. he asked several pertinent questions to make sure he could finish the job the same day. He said he'd be at our home the next afternoon between 12-1 and was prompt. He explained what he was going to do and was finished in less than an hour. Price was very reasonable, he was cheerful and a very nice man. We will definitely use him again for future garage door issues.
Description of Work: For both of our garage doors he replaced several pulleys that were not working properly, lubricated the doors and reattached the rubber seals on the bottom that had fallen off. He said the seals had only been glued on, so he screwed them onto the door. He also recommended we periodically lubricate both doors with WD 40.

The gentlemen that came out could not believe that it had been put up so shoddy, because it had not been reinforced to hold the weight of the unit. They did a terrific job in a short period of time.
