I called Joseph in the morning, approx. 10 AM. He said he would send someone around noon. Two men showed up soon after noon. It didn't take them long to fix the wires. I told them about another small problem, and they corrected that. Everything is now working perfectly. I would be happy to recommend Joseph's company to anyone.
Description of Work: Wires broke, so garage door could not open or close

I left a message for Joe and received a call back roughly a week later. After playing some serious phone tag, we were able to connect. He came by my property on September 1st to check the current functionality of my garage doors, and presumably went to my rental property across town to do the same (though no one was home to confirm). I have since called Joe 3 times, leaving 2 voicemails and have been completely unable to get in touch with Joe. No quote, no scope of work needed, nothing. Would love to pay someone for the work, but it doesn't appear as though Joe is interested in my business.
Description of Work: I contacted Joe to install 4 garage door openers at a total of 2 different multifamily residential properties in Watertown.

I needed an overhead garage door to be made and installed in my shed. The owner, Joseph Chisholm,, was very professional, but also personal: it was clear that he is proud of what he does, and want it be perfect. had the shed inspected by the company, Joe then gave his recommendations and price, then ordered the door, and installed it. The job was completed in about 5 weeks time (the time needed to make the door at a manufaturer's facility). The door is perfect and very easy to operate.

Mr. Chisholm took the time to call me back and walk me through how to get my unit to work without any expectation of pay. He was patient and helpful. I have used him before and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. What a pleasure to have someone so thoughtful and helpful.

It went super! I called Joe in the morning and it was fixed by Noon or so the very same day! They left the broken spring as well as the other one I had replaced to show that they actually did replace both. Joe was great and incredibly responsive and professional.
Description of Work: The spring mechanism on the garage door was broken so I had them replace the broken one and the other as well.

The installer was helpful and took time to go over options, and was not pushy. As noted, he came out twice to review the site to make sure it would go OK since it required some custom framing. The actual door installation was a very professional, prompt, neat, and quality job. I can see many areas in the install where care was taken to make sure it was done well without cutting corners. Also, the door is quiet and solid (though this may be a feature of the door and opener--C.H.I. door, no connection, just very happy with it). Would definitely use again and recommend.
Description of Work: Used Chisholm Door Corp to install a custom garage door (which we had selected directly with a distributor) in a non-standard, small garage, replacing old unworkable carriage doors. The installer came out to see the site twice, and made helpful and practical suggestions on how to have the framing modified for a good end result (which he did--reframed the rough opening). Came back a third time to install the door the day after I called to say the site was ready.

Excellent. He gave a good estimate. We have used him previously and were pleased, so we were happy to use him again, assuming a reasonable price, which it was. He was on time, with work and completion. Workmanship was excellent. My only complaint was that he does not reply to phone messages promptly. They also did not put a lift handle on the outside of the door to manually lift the door if we have to detach it from the track due to power failure...I called to ask him to come back and do so a couple of weeks ago and left a voice mail message. He has not yet responded. I have to keep calling. Other than that, I am happy and would use him again.
Description of Work: Replaced Garage Door with new door and tracks, but using old lift motor. He had installed the older one many years ago. It was damaged by a snow plow, so the door needed replacement.

This was our second experience with this family business. I wish we could find other service providers who are so prompt in showing up and capable in doing the work.
Description of Work: I called as soon as our old (25 years) opener suddenly died. They sent someone within a couple of hours. He diagnosed the problem, went off for a new unit, and had it ready to go by mid-afternoon.

My grandfather recommended Joe, so I gave him a call to set up a time to meet. After a couple of weeks I heard from Joe and we set up a time to come look at my garage. He had his son come out and hook up my new system the very same day, and it was done fast and sounds so much quieter than the previous system, plus having the safety sensors in there now is a big relief. Will hire Joe again for future garage door maintenance should it be needed.
Description of Work: Just bought a condo and the garage door opener inside was a bit of an antique. Looking to install new garage door opener, modern system with keypad and safety sensors.

Chisholm sent someone out the same day I called about a broken garage door opener cable. He replaced the old cable and soon had things working perfectly again. I was completely satisfied with the service call and found the cost reasonable.

Chisolm's immediate recommendation via phone was to try a universal remote from a local hardware store. If that did not work, he'd come out and try some other remotes he had in stock. ...The universal remote from Ace Hardware worked! Thank you Chisolm Door for not trying to upsell us from the start and help us use what we currently have. We'll be calling when we have garage door needs in the future and will recommend you to friends.
Description of Work: We moved into a new home recently and the previous owner did not leave behind a remote garage door opener. The garage door system is old and we were convinced we'd need a full replacement of the opening mechanism. Chisolm Door was the only vendor who asked thorough questions over the phone about our current model (I responded while looking directly at our unit in the garage).

Our garage door had been acting up for some time, shimmying, shaking and closing with a loud thud, Finally, it failed to open fully, then not at all. Mr. Chisholm explained everything that needed to be done and followed through just as he had outlined to us. (Previously, in error, we installed the wrong size springs ourselves which were not adequate for the door weight, which in turn, overworked the motor.)
Description of Work: Company installed new garage door opener with two transmitters. Also installed new cables, springs, rollers and pulleys.

The Joseph Chisholm people were professional from start to finish -- returned our initial phone call, came out to see the garage door within a few hours, discussed various options with us, scheduled the appointment for the next day, performed the work quickly, etc. We were very impressed!
Description of Work: We have a very heavy wooden double garage door. When we bought our house last year, we asked the sellers to replace the 30+ year old garage door opener, and they installed a new inexpensive, under-powered one. It began failing in a few months, so we searched Angie's for someone who could recommend and install a new one -- "the best" -- for us. Joseph Chisholm did just that.

I called this company to get a quote to fix a double garage door so that it would close properly and to install a new opener. Mr. Chisholm return my call quickly to set up an appointment, and he did arrived on time. He was polite and friendly. However, after looking over the door he told me that I needed to replace all the rollers, pulleys, and springs, and that I would be much better off with a completely new door and hardware. He also suggested an opener that was much more than I needed or wanted. At the end, he promised to send me two quotes: one for fixing the door, and the second for a new door. I never heard anything from him again. As it turns out, another garage door company was able to fix the door by just replacing the springs and lubricating all of the moving parts. The rollers and pulleys are fine, and replacing them would have been a waste of my money.

I called Joseph Chisolm based on the excellent reports I saw on Angie's list. He was prompt and professional and was very accomodating by going to my house to give an estimate. His workmen saw some issues that I was unaware of. In the end they repaired the lock but also made some repairs that were necessary like replacing the pulley components and the rubber gasket. I received a call to check on the work and I mentioned that I had a hard time with the lock. They came back the same day and took care of it for me. I am very pleased and would highly recommend their work. It is hard these days to get anyone to do a repair. They usually want to install something new, but Joseph Chisolm didn't mind and I saved significant money with a repair vs replacing my garage door.

I called and spoke to Joseph. He sent someone next day and gave me an estimate over the phone. Work was scheduled for following week. Came on agreed time and did a great job. Doors/mechanism works smoothly and quietly now. Highly recommended. Note: Sometimes, does not answer phone right away. But he will always get back to you same day after leaving voice-mail messages.
