Steve came out on Friday to look at my old door and we discussed repair versus replacement. He has 30 years of experience and really knows his stuff. I decided to have him replace the 32 year old door and opener the following Tuesday. He came right on time, got the job done very quickly and cleanly, then carefully explained the operation of the door and remotes. Everything was as we had discussed, no surprises.
Description of Work: He took out and hauled off my old wood door and hardware along with the old opener, then installed a new 18' insulated steel door with windows and a new 1/2 hp belt drive opener.

The owner arrived as scheduled. He completed the work in the time frame promised. The service included two insulated standard garage doors with all the necessary mounting hardware and weather stripping around the doors. We did not need to replace the garage door openers. The doors look great and enhance the house's curb appeal. The insulated doors keep the garage warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. The weather stripping helps keep debris from blowing into the garage and keeps the garage cleaner. All in all very we are very satisfied and happy with the service and result. I would recommend this business to a friend.

Steve diagnosed my problem over the phone. The garage door opener light wasn't functioning. He told me an easy fix to try. When that didn't work, he said that it was probably the circuit board on my 16 year old opener. We agreed that replacement was the best option. He came out the next morning and replaced the opener, chain, track, sensors, wall switch, keypad and 2 remotes. He also adjusted tension and tightened bolts on both garage doors and programmed the homelink in the car. The new unit is quiet, smooth and has more features and security than the original.

We were extremely pleased with SOS, particularly in light of our disappointment with the company that had initially installed the garage door and had twice sent repairmen to unsuccessfully remedy the problems. Steve was highly professional throughout the process and I appreciated the extra time he took to make sure I understood the conditions that had caused our problems, such as demonstrating the type of hinges and rollers that should have been initially installed on a 22 foot metal door such as we have.
Description of Work: On his initial visit the afternoon I first contacted his office, Steve inspected our garage door, identified the problems, and provided an estimate for the costs of necessary repair work. He explained the conditions causing our problems, including inadequately sized hinges and incorrectly installed rollers. Steve returned the following day and completed the repairs as well as general maintenance work in approximately three hours. He then carefully explained to me the types of maintenance that I should perform annually to avoid future problems.

Steve, of SOS, called me immediately after I requested a quote. He wanted to be sure he had the springs so asked me a few questions about the door and springs. He quickly identified what I needed and provided me a verbal quote on the first phone call. He was very competitively price wise so I scheduled him for the next morning. He showed up on time, replaced the springs, oiled joints, springs, wheels, and adjusted (tightened all bolts). Did the work very quickly and efficiently (no messing around...). Garage door runs smooth as silk now and much quieter. If you need fast service from a guy that knows garage doors then SOS and Steve is the one to call. I need new doors soon and I'm going to give him a call for sure for a quote.

Very well. His bid was competitive, and he was prompt and professional.
Description of Work: Steve, with SOS Garage Door Repairs, was the first knowledgeable person to call me back (within 15 minutes) of 3-4 garage door companies that I contacted. He gave me a very competitive quote, came out the morning that I called, fixed the broken springs, and tuned up a few other things that that weren't included in his original quote at no charge. I'd use him again in a minute. Kate

I sent an email to SOS Garage Door Services on a Sunday. The problem was not urgent. Steve contacted me first thing Monday morning. It was very easy to coordinate a house visit that would fit with our work schedules. He came on time and was very nice and knowledgeable. I recommend his service highly.
Description of Work: Steve was called out to our house because my garage door would not open and close properly. By phone, he told me a few simple things to try to see if it could be easily fixed. I misunderstood what he suggested, and he came out to the house and found that a simple adjustment fixed the problem. He would have been happy to leave without charging us for the visit. Since we had two old garage doors and openers, we requested that he stay and complete overall tune ups and minor adjustments. The approximate amount spent is just a guess-- I don't remember the exact amount. At the time I had investigated comparable costs for similar repairs and was pleased that the price was reasonable. In the two months since then, the doors open and close easily.

Steve called back in less than an hour. He was polite on the phone, even though I called on a Sunday night. He gave me an estimate over the phone, and to be honest, I needed it fixed, he was willing to come early the next day, so I didn't get another estimate. He was prompt and the job was done in less than an hour. He replaced both springs (large single door). He greased the rollers and checked the bolts as well as balanced the garage door.
Description of Work: Heard my garage door slam and when I looked, it was obvious one of the springs had broken. Of course, my car was stuck inside the garage and I needed to get to work.

Excellent service!!!!! Steve was on time, he explained from start to finish what he was doing and why. He put the belt back on opener, added tension to the spring, oiled rollers and springs, and adjusted track. He also fixed the gaps on both sides of the garage, replaced a battery for the garage door keypad, and gave me valuable advice to keep my garage door running smooth, and maybe last longer. Steve is very professional, very courteous, and his prices are great!!!!! I will use Steve for all of my garage door repairs from now on. Steve IS the go-to guy for your garage door repairs.

Steve was higher than the prices I found on Craig's List but because of his strong reviews with Angie's list I decided to pay the extra dollars. He communicated very well throughout the process and did exactly as he promised. He showed up on time, was professional while doing the job, and left the site clean. He trained me on use of the product and suggested I call if I had further questions. He went out of his way to emphasize how much he stands behind his work and that I should call him immediately if I have any problems whatsoever. I have not had any problems. I am glad I spent the extra money and will use him again.
Description of Work: This company installed two new doors on a garage structure that had never had doors and provided multi-button remotes that open my old doors as well.

Steve was responsive and prompt in his work on all of the properties. He showed up on time and gave me updates on each house as he was working on the issues. He made good use of his time as each of these properties was way out of his local area.
Description of Work: Steve worked on three separate properties, in various locations across the metro area. All of them had garage door issues. House 1- fixed a very old door that had a buckle in it. Made it work like new! Also provided new remote. House 2- installed new opener one one side, fixed the other side- both working like new. Also provided new remotes. House 3- installed new opener.

I called Mr. Sandavol late and was surprised to actually speak with him and not get an answering machine. He did not take advantage of our predicament and charge an outrageous price. Also, he came quite a distance to do the work. We definitely would recommend him and would use his company if further work needed to be done.
Description of Work: We had a snake get tangled in the cable and as a result our door would not work and had items come off in several places when we tried to operate the door. They came out removed the snake, replaced the cable and did a tune-up on the garage. He also noticed the door was closing too hard and fixed that problem at no extra charge.

He arrived on-time and was very personable. He not only did an excellent job but was very efficient in doing the work. On top of that, he came out on Saturday and did not charge me extra. Finally, he gave me good pointers on how to maintain my garage doors to keep them in working order. If you want great service at a great price, call Steve!

I had a fabulous experience with SOS. No one enjoys waking up to a broken spring and when it happens you want it fixed asap. The owner Steve called me promptly, we set a time to meet and he arrived just as expected, he was very professional and he fixed it fast so I could get back to work. He also checked the other aspects of the door for safety, tightened up screws and oiled it. I would definitely use SOS again and recommend him to my neighbors and friends.

I had called a couple of other garage door companies, obtained through "friend referrals". One was a disconnected phone #, other never called back. SOS was prompt in returning the call and was able to be there on same day. A couple of days later I needed him to come back to adjust the tension on one of the doors and again, he was prompt in coming back, with no additional charge.

Great. SOS put in a new garage door for us in 2/11 which went very well. We called them back when it was time for a new opener. We opted for the more costly, quieter model since it's right below our master br. Work was done same-day and very quickly and professionally. Would use again.

This is the second time we have used Steve Sandoval with SOS Garage Door Services. He arrived on time and quickly repaired our broken door opener. He then serviced both doors and lubricated everything. Then he adjusted both openers and gave me some tips on how to maintain our doors. Great guy and great price. I would use him again without question and I have referred him as well.
