Great. Prompt arrival, efficient work, reasonable price, and extras thrown in for free.
Description of Work: I called them because the two-door garage door had some strange noises and didn't seem to be working as well as it had. They came and diagnosed the problem as a broken spring and some sticking rollers on one side. Replaced both springs, as recommended. Also inspected the one-car door spring, and told me it was fine - that it is often the case that the two-car doors springs will break sooner becuase of the extra weight and more frequent use. The tech also checked the operation of both openers and lubricated the shafts for no charge! Even told me where I could get larger seals for the bottom of the doors, if I needed more waterproofing.

They came out and gave me a quote and a lot of information but it ended up that I didn't have to have the door fixed. They came out as scheduled and they actually told me that I didn't needed to have it fixed. I was selling my house and the people's inspector said that it needed to be fixed. The people from Overhead Door said that it didn't need to be fixed. I would recommend them. They had fixed a spring in my door five years ago and they came out the next day to do that work. I would have no hesitation to call them back.

My garage door opener stopped working on Sunday night. Monday morning I called Overhead doors and was told that a technician would be out that afternoon but would call first. I received a call around 12:30 and he was there in 15 minutes. He replaced the broken gear and helped reset the key pad that was not working. I had a coupon from the same company but a different location, he accepted the coupon. He also cleaned up after himself. I was very pleased with his courtesy and the work done.

Salesman came the day after I called - written estimate provided on site. Installation was scheduled as soon as permit was obtained, and workers called before arrival. Everything went well - but one door panel was damaged. The damage was pointed out to me by the installer, and a replacement panel was delivered and installed within a week. They removed all of the old door materials, and left the job site clean and orderly.

This is the second time we have used this company and we've been very happy both times. This time, Overhead Doors arrived the day after we called them and replaced the springs. A week later, we noticed that the door didn't close all the way (apparently, a common problem with new springs), so we called on a Sunday and Monday morning Valerie called us back. That afternoon, they arrived to repair the problem for no additional charge. EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Description of Work: Our springs died on our garage door and it was inoperable.

I received estimates from Overhead Door Co. of Tampa Bay and a competitor. Both sales reps were very responsive and professional, and I received the estimates in a reasonable amount of time. Also, they answered my questions quickly and with sufficient detail. Since the quality of the garage doors appeared comparable, I went with Overhead Door Co., because the garage door opener was the kind I wanted and the package price was a bit lower. I was extremely pleased with all the service provided. There was only one day in November when I could be available to have the door and opener installed. The sales rep committed to having them installed on that day - - and they were! The installer was very professional and did a good job. I did have a problem with the door control panel the day after installation (Saturday), so I left a voicemail for the sales rep hoping I would hear from him on Monday. Much to my surprise, he showed up at my house on Sunday and fixed the panel (just a loose connection) since he lived in the area. I would rate him A+ both for getting the installation scheduled on the date I needed it and for making the repair on a Sunday. The door looks great and the opener is now working fine.

They are a great business. The customer services representative was very educated on what he was doing. He got it done in a very short time. He was very polite and provided great customer service.
Description of Work: I used Overhead Door three or four weeks ago to redo my rollers to make the garage door quieter. They also replaced my remote controls because they no longer worked. He brought everything up to spec. They had been there for 10 years.

They were able to fix the garage door - it only needed a replacement battery, and oiled the door so that it no longer squeaks when opening and closing. However, there had been a mix-up with the day of our service, and they came a day early and no one was home. I received a couple calls on my cell and at home from them - they were unhappy we were not home, however they were there the wrong day. I was able to call later that evening and reconfirm my appointment for the following day.
Description of Work: Garage Door would not open from panel. Door squeaked loudly when operating.

My garage door opener was more than 20 years old. It had been failing to operate occasionally and I decided to replace it with a belt-driven model. Making the appointment was quick and courteous. This morning, the installer arrived during the appointment window and installed the new garage door opener (Lift Master 3280M belt-driven for one car garage). The installer wired a new control switch and light-beam sensors as part of the installation. The installer also lubricated the old squeaky pulleys while testing the operation of the new opener. This was a job well done. I feel my money was well spent and my time was not wasted.

Ron replaced the worn out seals(13 years old)on the bottom of my garage doors that had been letting in rain water. Because there had been some confusion about this issue in a service call the previous week with a different installer, he charged me only the cost of the parts-no labor or extra service call charges. He also gave me some helpful hints on how to make the same repair myself in the future when this set of seals needed replacing, and showed me some ways to muffle the sound of the garage door opener itself-which was not part of the service call issues.

Great. Rod was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He worked quickly and efficiently during the coldest morning we've had in years (Feb 09). After his installation and lubrication, the doors were much smoother and quieter.
Description of Work: Removed broken spring from the double door in our 3-car garage, and replaced it and the unbroken one (always a good idea to do both on the same door at the same time). Also lubricated the joints and screw drive on both doors, and realigned the safety light at the bottom of the double door to remedy an issue we've had with that door not closing if the single door was open.

It went very well. Lewis, the installer, was on time and very professional and explained the issues very patiently. Doug, who made the initial sales call and estimate was also a total pro. He was on time and explained my options without trying to make a big sale. The door looks great and works perfectly. I would highly recommend them!

We did not receive a written estimate. It is my fault as I thought I had received it. When installer told me what was due after the deducting spring charge, I was shocked. The estimate was never given to us by Valerie, as she had to clarify some costs to the replace of the weather stripping, etc. thus the confusion initially. A $15.00 Rebate from Liftmaster was included but required original sales receipt with purchase price which was not provided at completion. A copy of Residential Installation Ticket was provided with no prices. I called twice to get the paid invoice. Voice mail to Valerie and one call to Gary. Third call to Valerie was successful. Still invoice showed not paid, but have the Visa Slip as record. Will not send Visa Sales Slip with number. Invoice dated 12/18/07, installation ticket dated 12/12/07, installed on 12/14/07. Still never received original estimate. Installation was superior & professional by installer. He raised the company's ratings in opinion.
Description of Work: Relocated old garage door operator from double door to single door. Installed new Liftmaster 1/2 HP Belt Drive. Replaced vinyl stripping and stops on both doors, lubricated springs, rails, etc. on both double and single door. Installed new keypads and keyless entry for new operator. Programed auto for new door. Installer stated Spring on Single Door did not need to be replaced which saved us $ 100.00.

I am so happy with my new door. The reason it wouldn't open all the way is because it couldn't get over the arc. It was also 25 years old... The installer was great at showing me everything. Before I knew it the old door was down and the new one up...And he left the garage area spotless. He also told me that a person from the city would come to inspect the installation. The following week a man from the city came out. He told me that when he sees the name Overhead Door on his work order he always knows the installation is perfect. He went through everything and said "perfect"...
Description of Work: Had an old wooden double garage door which kept getting stuck and had gaps between the panels. Called Overhead Door and they were nice. Told me they would have someone out the next day for an estimate.

Great. I repaired the garage door opener myself and saved the $340 cost of a new opener AND saved the cost of the service call. It turned out well that the service person didn't bother to examine the garage door opener that I mistakenly thought was broken. Overhead Door could have asked for a service charge for that and graciously did not. Since no service was actually provided by the service person when he was here, I agree that not charging me was the right thing to do. The education I gained while deciding which new opener to purchase allowed me to avoid the purchase entirely. Kudos to Overhead Door for the way this turned out.
Description of Work: The repair person arrived at the end of the AM appointment window. He stated that the garage door opener was old and replacement parts are no longer available. He said that a dispatcher could make a second appointment to have the garage door opener replaced. He left after five minutes WITHOUT examining the garage door opener to determine what was wrong. I called back the next day and spoke to someone with whom I discussed new garage door openers. I decided on a $340 belt-driven unit. She was very informative, especially in explaining that the horsepower of the motor determines the number of times the door can be opened and closed in a certain period of time, not the weight that it can lift. We made an appointment. Learning what I had about horsepower, I plugged in my old garage door opener again. It worked perfectly. It was not broken after all. I had simply opened and closed the door too many times when I was adjusting the limits the week before. I canceled the appointment.
