I called Steve who was recommended by a friend. He was out the next day as agreed. He told me the cost up front for the spring, I also asked him to replace the rubber on the bottom. This required replacing the retainer as well. He also added a piece of metal to one of the panel horizontal braces that was buckling when the door operated. I would use this company again, and I would recommend them.

Our garage door stopped working one morning, so I called this company after they were recommended by a neighbor. Steve called me back and said the problem sounded like misalignment of the sensors, and that when home owners try to fix them themselves they break them. Hearing that, I asked to be added to his list for the day, and he said he would get there later afternoon and would call me back later in the day to let me know a time. At 4:30 I called and he said the other jobs took longer than expected but he was heading over - finally at 5:30 he showed up. During this time I researched the problem online and saw that it likely was misalignment or a bad sensor, and I did try moving it myself but was afraid to move it too much b/c he said they break, so just left it alone. It took him literally 2 seconds to fix the problem by bending the bracket pretty far back, laughed and said "85-year-old women do this all the time" and said that's why he recommends people do it themselves when they call him. When I tried to tell him that's NOT what he told me, he said it was. He checked the springs and ended up giving us a discount because he got there so late, but this was a huge waste of time, his attitude was poor, and he doesn't do estimates, he just charges $75 minimum. I wouldn't recommend this company, and wouldn't use them again.

Our garage door refused to open suddenly. The motor would run and the chains would work, but the door itself would not budge. Not realizing that a broken spring was the culprit, we tried pressing the button a couple of times, hoping to get the door to 'catch'. On the third attempt, the motor made a loud popping sound and started smoking. It shorted out. We called a few companies, all of whom said that the springs and the opener unit needed to be replaced . Father and Son was the only company to suggest the opener unit could possibly be repaired, rather than replaced entirely. Just two hours after our call, Steve arrived. He came prepared with a new opener unit, just in case a repair was not possible. In the end though, he proved to be exactly right. He was able to install an inexpensive replacement part in our existing opener. The door is working great now. We saved a couple hundred dollars - at least. Overall, Steve was prompt, fair and knowledgeable. Great work ethic. Highly recommend.

Called 3 garage door companies who had favorable reviews, the first two were aprox 5-7days out for an estimate (who knows how long for the install). The 3rd company I tried was Fatherand Son, and he was knowlegable and available rightaway to do the job, which was great since we are inand out of our garage often. The price was given over the phone which was a little cheaper than we expected to pay so we canceled our other appointments and went with Fatherand Son. He showed up on time and did his work professionally and kept area clean once finished. We are very pleased with the new opener and the installer who did the work. Thank You!
Description of Work: Needed a new garage opener, our old one is no longer a running line so parts to fix were unavailable. Spoke to the gentleman over the phone who sounded very knowledgeable and he told me about our old opener, and gave me a price for a new one right on the phone. He came out the next day and installed the new opener, keypad (free) and (2) remotes at the price he gave. he also checked the barrings and springs and oiled up a few (at no charge). We prefer to us smaller family owned companies and he did not disapoint. Great Job!

He did an excellent job for an excellent price and I was very happy that I chose him from the Angie's list line up. If you want an honest guy who is not trying to rip you off and will do a great repair job call this man. Steve Talley has been in business for many years and I felt immediately that he knew what he was doing and told me up front what the cost of the repair was.
Description of Work: The spring at the top of my double garage door broke and the side attachment wires were worn. I called Steve and he came out the same day and repaired the door and oiled the other single door as it was making a loud noise upon opening and closing.

Father and Son did a fine job on my older garage door. They had the parts in stock and were able to do the work quickly after my call. While they were here they also lubed up the chain mechanism as a courtesy. I would definitely recommend them to others in the area.
Description of Work: They replaced the two main springs in my electric garage door.

When the spring broke it left both our vehicles locked in the garage. It was late afternoon and everybody was busy. Their man came by around 8 pm, and did a fast efficient job.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken Torsion spring (coil spring above the door) with a new and larger one. Also replaced the other spring.
