The service requested was performed as scheduled and as requested. Personnel were professional, timely and worked quickly and efficiently. The garage door repair and the front door repair work was performed on two separate occasions since different skills and personnel were required. Both times the representative from Carl's Doors arrived as scheduled, worked quickly and explained the work that was done. Both teams were polite and professional. I was pleased with the work overall and my expectations were exceeded for the garage door repair. The garage door operation is now much quieter and smoother than it ever was before.
Description of Work: The torsion spring for the garage door was replaced and a reinforcement bar was applied to add rigidity to the garage door. The front door was realigned in the door frame and weather stripping renewed so the door latch and dead bolt would work properly.

The call for a repair resulted in an appointment for the very next day. Kevin arrived exactly on time and fixed the problem. When the photo sensors went out of line again, they came right back, replaced a wire, and reset the sensors, with no additional charge for this second visit.

Carl's Door Service gave us outstanding customer service from start to finish. We had to wait a few weeks for our door to be ordered, but that gave us opportunity to begin clearing out the garage in preparation for the door to be installed. When the big day came, Carl's Door Service came on time and completed the installation quickly and efficiently. We were impressed with their courtesy and professionalism. The area was completely cleaned up at the end of the job. Our garage door looks great and is easy and safe to open. We are very pleased with Carl's Door Service, and very grateful for Angie's List as a super resource. Kudos to both!
Description of Work: Our garage door was old, peeling, and difficult to open. We needed to replace it with a modern, safer, automatic door. We had gotten three estimates, one from Carl's Door Service. However, we were not able to take care of the door due to other household repairs pending. During the delay, we became members of Angie's List. When we decided it was time to take care of the garage door, we checked Angie's List to see the current ratings of the companies who had given us estimates. Carl's Door Service stood out from all the others. We called Carl's Door Service to schedule the door replacement.

The experience was just what I wanted. The representative came to measure, was very careful with his measurements because I do not have a standard size door, and sat down with me to show me options for the doors. I knew I wanted just a plain, old white door (no windows or anything fancy) and I didn't have a whole lot of choice because it was an odd size, so it worked out just fine. The company called the day before to confirm the appointment and even let me postpone the first appointment by a couple of weeks due to some roofing work I was having done on the house. On the day of the install, the men arrived on time (between 8-9 was my window), completed the job, came to get me and explained a bit about how the door was installed and what I should do when locking it, etc. and left. Delightful!
Description of Work: The company removed and disposed of an existing (old 1940's) heavy, wood garage door and replaced it with a new door.

From start to finish this was a wonderful experience! Chris told me Matt would be able to come and give us an estimate the next day. Matt arrived on time and explained what our options were and provided education on how the doors work and offered recommendations regarding what style, design etc. Matt was very knowledgeable, kind, polite and did not pressure us at all. We agreed to have the doors replaced...within two weeks we received a call that our doors were ready and they were able to schedule installation within two days. David installed the doors and was just as professional, kind and thorough. The job was completed within several hours. We are delighted with the doors and could not have asked for a better experience. Matt and David made this experience easy and stress free! Would highly recommend them and definitely use them again.

From start to finish very well. Estimator showed up on time, was very professional, nice and answered all our questions. Scheduled work with us right then for about a month late,r but they called within two weeks and said door was in and could come sooner. The installers came within the time 7:30-8:30am time frame given, completed the job and cleaned up nicely. Overall, I was very happy really couldn't expect more. We've used them before, about two years ago and had the same experience. If you want a contractor, you don't have to worry about these are the guys.

These guys are the best! I think all garage door companies are probably pretty competitive on price (mine could have been lower but I went with a designer type door). They did a neat job, cleaned up, and everything went smoothly. I've been told they are great for service if you need it. Hopefully I won't be calling them for that any time soon.
Description of Work: They removed an old garage door, the springs, the opener, and they installed a new door, new springs, and a new opener.
