Our garage door opener was raising the door only about halfway when I called for service. The opener and the door are 5 1/2 years old, so I figured they were due for some TLC. I was impressed when I called Benson that they were able to send a repair person out the next day. He was prompt and courteous and taught me a great deal about both my garage door and the opener as he worked. I even learned what to do in case the door spring goes, which will happen suddenly one day, and I need to get my car out. The whole door is now oiled, adjusted, and works like new. There is no more groaning when it opens; the door rises all the way to the top. I am very pleased with this company's work.

I could not have been happier with the service. Gary quickly determined what the problem was, and what he needed to do to fix it. He showed me the part on the garage door opener that was broken, and explained to me how it got worn down over time. He replaced the part in a time-efficient manner,and even took the time to help me program the built in garage door opener in my car. I highly recommend Bensor Garage Door Company!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called at the end of September to have our old garage door checked as it was squeaking. They were out in a day. We decided that, since the old door was 35 years old and was rotting, to go with a new door. I was called back within a day to schedule the installation of the new door. They were here on time, did the job and cleaned up beautifully. The new door works well and does not shriek at us!

The work was performed punctually and right on budget despite the fact that the door was idiosyncratic and posed some serious challenges. Also, the crew improved on the installation of a new garage door opener that I had installed a couple of days earlier by changing the mounts on the laser obstacle detector and changing the hardware connecting the garage door to the trolley. These improvements came at no extra charge! I felt in very good hands.
Description of Work: I have a large garage door that had old pulley springs with frayed cables. These were replaced with a spring mounted on a tension rod which is a much safer design.

The service was outstanding from the time I made the initial call for service. I received an appointment in less than 24 hours. The technician arrived between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. as promised, and finished in approximately 1 1/2 hours. He even took care of a small hornet's nest above the garage door. On the door that was not closing completely he tightened up the hinges. The old rubber seal had been installed incorrectly, and he correctly installed a brand new seal. The jerkiness was caused by the door sticking to a recently painted seal around the entire door. He applied a good coat of paraffin wax to the seal, which resolved the problem. Although he wasn't certain how long the wax would last, he predicted it would solve the problem for quite a while. He also replaced a missing screw (one I didn't know was missing) in the garage door opener. All in all, I am very pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Repaired one garage door that was not closing completely, and also replaced the rubber seal at the bottom of the door. Repaired other garage door that was opening and closing in a jerky manner.

We have used this company before. They are always prompt, and professional. We feel they give good service, such as checking out/servicing other features of the opener, rather than just fixing the reported problem and leaving. There is no pressure to buy anything. They report the facts as they see them. Price was given for replacement opener only when we asked. Technician explained the new features that we would find on a new opener. He said we didn't have to replace the one, that was still okay. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Garage door was off the track. A couple of the wheels had come off that roll up and down. This door had been hit before, many years ago, so it has a slight bend in the metal track. Technician arrived promptly, assessed problem and fixed problem. He then oiled and tested both garage door springs. Cleared out 2 bird nests, of which we were not aware, from the ceiling controls. He tested to see that doors were still safe - meaning they stopped as soon as they touched something while going down. He oiled the 2 gears inside the ceiling controls, and showed us how one control (a plastic gear) was wearing down. He gave an estimate for a new garage door opener, explaining the new features but said we could continue to use the opener until it failed. There would be no way to repair this item. Replacement was the only option. Openers are 17 years old. Spent 30 minutes here. Very polite, neatly dressed and professional.

It was a wonderful experience. Two previous contractors had been unable to figure out how to install a door in the space. Benson sorted everything out, and delivered on time and at the estimated cost. I would recommend them very highly.
Description of Work: Benson representative came to inspect my special garage situation, developed a detailed estimate, and special-ordered the new garage door. They sent a carpenter and door installer who arrived on time and performed the work quickly, and accurately. All representatives were extremely polite and competent.

The technician arrived as scheduled between 12pm and 2pm. He then proceeded to do an inspection and saw the problem right away. He told me how much it would cost and I agreed to the cost and he proceeded to perform the work while telling me everything he was doing so I could understand the work he was performing. During the replacement of the torsion spring he noticed that one of the lift cables was slightly damaged and recommended I have it replaced and I told him to replace both of them. He then did that also and towards the end of doing all of his adjustments to the door to make sure it was working properly I asked if he could replace the rubber on the bottom of the door and he did. Overall I was extremely satisfied with the work that was performed and would highly recommend this company to any one that is looking to have a repair done or a door installed.
Description of Work: The torsion spring was replaced since the one that was there had broken. Also both lift cables were replaced. The door rubber was replaced and a track bracket was added to the lower right hand side to add extra stability.

Thrilled with the service. He arrived on time. He explained what he did to fix the problem. We have a 15 year old garage door opener that has been temperamental, at best. It stopped working several weeks ago. I expected to be told that it needed major repairs or replaced. Instead, it took about 15 minutes and a few minor adjustments - and it is working perfectly. I highly recommend Benson Garage Door Company.

HE EXPLAINED CLEARLY AND CONCISE WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO IN ORDER FOR THE DOORS TO BE INSTALLED CORRECTLY. WORK WAS DONE PROMPT AND SATISFACTORILY.

BENSON GARAGE DOORS WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL. THERE WERE TWO OPTIONS - AN EXPENSIVE ONE AND A LESS EXPENSIVE ONE. THE FIRST OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR. THE SECOND OPTION, WHICH IS WHAT WE CHOSE, WAS TO FIX THE SPRING. THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE HOW LONG THE SPRING WOULD LAST, BUT SAID THAT IT MIGHT LAST FOR YEARS. WE WENT WITH THE SECOND OPTION AND I APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T PUSH THE MORE EXPENSIVE OPTION. SO FAR SO GOOD!
