Excellent service, did some carpentry to adapt to my old garage. Gave my advice to suit my needs, i.e. they told me "no you don't need the expensive opener, the cheapest one will work fine." The guys installing worked cheerfully in my unattached, unheated garage on a cold (temp in the teens F) day. The door has been working flawlessly for nearly a full year now.

They didn't have the exact opener in stock, but sold me another one that works just as well. They took the time to look up one that would work. I made the date up as I don't remember the date. It was in late spring or early summer last year.
Description of Work: sell me a replacement remote door opener. I haven't used them for service.

Working with this company was so easy. I am so pleased with their work. They even came out when we had problems with our opener and looked at it for no charge. We didn't buy the opener from them, just the door!
Description of Work: After my daughter backed into the closed garage door, ames door and fence stopped by to temporarily fix the door until we could order a new one. They offered several types of doors and we ordered what we wanted. they called when the order was delayed by one day and came when they said they would.

Most of the crossbars in our fence started to sag after a winter or two. The crossbars seem far too fragile if this is going to happen. Had to spend a few hundred dollars to replace them. A small piece of hardware of the fence has to replaced. The fence is black and I was told the piece doesn't come in black. By the end of the call not only am I getting a different color but I was told *I* have to paint it. They won't.

ainedThe installer was very friendly and I was pleased when he relocated the inside wall button and thanked him for suggesting it. He also asked if I would like an additional light bulb put in since there was a socket to add another in the opener. He explained everything he had done and showed me how it all worked with and without power. Also explained the remote system. The door also came with 2 remotes and there is a safety button on the wall pad for extra security which I was very pleased with that will not allow the remotes to work when activated if they were stolen. It is a very nice system.
Description of Work: took out old garage door and frame with old opener. put in a new frame and opener, installed the garage door then asked if I wanted the button on the wall in the same place (that wasn't a good location) or in a more convenient location next to the light switch.

Very good experience.
Description of Work: We called. We were able to set a time to repair broken garage door spring within 24 hours. They came at the scheduled time, had to leave to get another part, and came back right away, and fixed the garage door spring within an hour and a half. Staff was professional, courteous and cleaned up the site after the repair. No problems with garage door since. That worked for us.

I e-mailed them very late on a Thursday night hoping for service the following Monday. They called me back on Friday morning and got an appointment for me Monday morning. I honestly thought that I was going to need a new opener, but the technician found it was that the spring and joints were so dry it was binding up and causing resistance and that is why the door would not open and close. The technician also re-adjusted the door for me fixing the gap issue I had between the floor and the door. He also reprogrammed the remotes and keypad so that I could use those. I was very happy with the service!
Description of Work: Adjusted overhead door, replaced roller, oiled spring and other joints, programmed remotes and keypads.

Wish I would have called them sooner. They got me in the day after I called and were very professional. I thought the cost was very reasonable for the amount of time he spent working on it.
Description of Work: My garage door wasn't reversing when there was resistance. They came out and replaced a couple of rollers, as well as lightened the door so that it ran much smoother.

They were great. It was a good experience and we felt like we got treated well. We spent ‘about $70 on that service and we don’t think that they were any worse than anybody else when it came to being pushy with the price. The professionalism of the staff was great. We talked with the lady in the office and she set everything up for us. The service guy came out, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it. He told us why it happened and what caused the problem, so we were aware of it and everything was smooth.
Description of Work: We used Ames Overhead Door Store probably about a year ago and they did some repair work on our garage door because there was a problem with the opener.

My garage door wasn?t closing properly. So, they came out and fixed it. The work cost me $80. I wasn?t very timely about paying the bill as I had a new-born baby at that time. They called to remind me about the payment. They were very understanding. They provided good customer service. I will definitely use this company again in the future.

They did a good job, and so far we haven?t had any problem with the doors. I never really met them, and so I don?t know much about their professionalism. I would use them again, if needed.
