GGD was founded as a local, family-owned business in 1988 by Peter Giglio, Sr. as a solo Technician out of his home. We grew. Providing superior customer service with values of Honesty & Integrity, our dedicated, experienced crews began additional service for Fairfax County homes in 1991. As our reputation for dependability spread, our 10 trucks & 15 employees outgrew the original Gaithersburg location in 2019 as we moved to a more spacious Rockville location. Peter’s son, Pete Giglio, Jr., succeeding his Dad, and long-time Operations Manager, Ryan Smart continue today to guide Gaithersburg & Fairfax Garage Door to satisfy the needs of DMV homeowners.
When the technician didn't have the part he needed on his truck, he called every other truck to find it. When that didn't help, he went back to the office, then came all the way back out to us to make the fix rather than make us wait another day. He was great

It was a wonderful job. They came out a few weeks ahead of time to make sure it was going to be the right door. I was given a call when the door arrived and they gave me a few options for installation times. The techs gave me a call before they came and did the installation very quickly. They also explained how to maintain the door and the estimated life. They told me about my motor and how long that should last too. I now feel confident that I can maintain my door for the next several years.
Description of Work: They replaced an old garage door with a new standard door.

Dave was courteous, on time, and professional. He came out to give us our estimate, which included an Angie's list discount. As with any job, we received an estimate from another company as well. The price difference was pretty astounding for the exact same product - same door - exact model number, same style, same installation including tracks, springs, rollers, hardware, and weatherstripping - and it was over a $700 difference in price on a $2,450 quote, with 2 years less warranty on top of that. Normally I wouldn't write a review based off of differences in price quotes, as they are usually minimal - but this difference was, as stated before, astounding - a 30% difference. The two companies did not know I was getting multiple quotes, and weren't competing with each other. Just be sure to get multiple quotes to make sure you are getting a decent value.

Response from Gaithersburg Garage Door Inc
This review gnaws at me every time I check our Angie's list reviews, it is surprising to me because we are very competitive in the market space, we generally compete well even with big box stores like Home Depot and Costco, generally we are only about 10% higher than them, simply because we use our own employees as opposed to subcontractors. I think it is critical that homeowners get multiple quotes (generally 3 seems to be the magic number). I also think it's critical to compare apples to apples. We cannot complete with small outfits (chuck in a truck is what we call them) that simply do not have the overhead a local small business carries (Brick and mortar location, MHIC license, insurance, office staff etc.). Hope this helps explain somewhat. Ryan Smart Operations Manager

Gaithersburg Garage Door did an outstanding job. My 20 year old garage door finally gave out one too many times so I researched garage doors and installers carefully and decided on Gaithersburg Garage Door after meeting with several other dealers including the Costco installer. First of all what I liked about GGD is that they use Clopay Garage Doors which are the ONLY ones who have the Good Housekeeping Magazine stamp of approval. The sales rep was up front and let me know the whole process, cost and process and also that my motor still had 'five years' left on it so I did not need to get it replaced which saved me $320 (hint, hint: he was honest). The entire double insulated steel door with windows price for purchase and installation was $1500. Interestingly enough, I got an estimate from the Costco installer who sells Amarr Doors and the price was $1750 but they "gave a $250 rebate". It sounded good but when comparing installers Costco's price was consistently about $250 higher than the others. In other words you were really only 'buying' your own rebate card from Costco. So no saving there. The installation process took about two hours. I strongly recommend Gaithersburg Garage Door for a quality product installed a very fair price.

I called the company early this morning and Ryan had an afternoon appointment open for today. He was able to give me a quote over the phone . The serviceman, Jimmy, arrived early and went right to work replacing the springs . After he finished he showed me how the door was working and said the loud clicking was from the rollers. There was absolutely no pressure to replace them but since he was here I told him to change all of them. He also changed the keypad battery. The door now works very quietly. I would not hesitate to use this company again or recommend them to a friend or neighbor.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 springs and all rollers. One spring was broken. All parts were original so 32+ years old. I chose to have everything replaced at the same time.

We had two wooden garage doors that were rotted and creaky. The openers were relatively new and in good shape, so we just needed new doors and associated hardware (runners, support brackets, etc.). Dave, the project manager came to do the estimate and was on time and showed me several options. He offered helpful suggestions but wasn't too pushy. He gave me a date certain on the spot, which I appreciated. The crew showed up on time and were polite and efficient. Very responsive to any questions I had. There was a small problem in that the door bottom needed an oversized rubber piece on the bottom to close out properly given an uneven driveway; they promised to come back and install it which they did within a week or so. All in all, a very positive experience.

I contacted Gaithersburg Garage Door about four years ago when a Sears garage door opener I had installed several years earlier failed. The technician arrived the same day. I expected the garage door opener would have to be replaced, since it was a rather old system that Sears no longer sold. But the technician found that it was merely a stripped gear inside the opener, and much to my surprise, he had a replacement gear in his truck. He installed it, then realigned the tracks. The opener has been working perfectly ever since. The technician was very pleasant and seemed to know his job very well. I would not hesitate to use Gaithersburg Garage Doors again should the need arise.

This worked perfectly. I had my carport enclosed for a garage and then Gaithersburg Garage door installed the new door. There was a cracked glass in one of the inserts but they pointed it out to me and ordered a replacement and came out and installed it when it came in. Everything happened on schedule and was professionally done - it's been close to 1-1/2 years and absolutely no problems.
