The service was fantastic. Randy installed an opener that is side mounted to the door. This greatly reduced the noise from the opener in the house that would wake our young children, who have rooms over the garage. He didn't have the opener on hand, but returned in just a couple of days and installed it very quickly. Randy gave me many additional pointers and recommendations. When I suggested work that would have increased the cost of the project, he told me it actually wasn't necessary. To me, this means he was looking out for what was best for our situation, and not for how to maximize his profit. I would certainly use Metro Garage Door again, though I hope I don't have to for a long time!
Description of Work: Garage door would not open. Randy from Metro Garage Door determined it was due to a stripped gear on our 25 year old opener. He installed a brand new opener.

I called for estimate whether to repair or replace on 3/3/14 and Randy was here same day to quote price. For the quality of the door and new installation of all, except door opener was reasonable. We placed our order on 3/3/14 for the door. Door came in on 3/11/14 and had an appointment for 3/12/14 for 10:00am and installer called at 8:21 and was here by 9:00am and was finished at 1:15pm. The door is beautiful and the installation was so professional. Nothing to cleanup. The door was sealed where ever there was a gap before, I didn't realize that this is the way installation should be. This company I would used again and again. I am so thankful for the wonderful service and quality!! Kyle installed the new door and was meticulous about how it is supposed to be. A great company! Thank you all!
Description of Work: Removed old garage door and installed new one with all the parts and zany extras that might be needed.

I scheduled an appointment on Sunday 03/09/2014 for Monday 03/10/2014 and when scheduling, I asked twice that that the repairman come after 4:30 pm. On Monday morning at 7:30 AM (probably too early for a business call also) I received a message stating the repairman would come between noon and 5 pm. When calling back to state I could not be home until after 4 pm, I was told they could not do that and that they could only say it would be a window between 12 and 5. I'm disappointed I was not told this when I originally called and specifically stated that 4:30 is the time I could be home.

They were great. They came and replaced two cables and got it done within an hour or less. The guy was pleasant, and he was real nice. I paid an additional amount, because I had the coupon, and I was just going to have them come out and check it, and all of a sudden, the cable broke, and so I called them. The guy who came out was very good. He was excellent. I didn't call them until a few months after I had purchased it. The garage door doesn't make noise, and he told me how to lubricate it, and it works great. They were responsive, they came out the same day I called. I would consider using them in the future, and I would recommend them to a friend.

My old garage door opener finally stopped working. I was hoping that it could be fixed, but the technician said it needed to be replaced. The technician told me that because I have an I-beam in my garage, they would need to do some drilling to get the new garage door I had selected to fit. That was going to cost extra. When I asked the tech (Steve) what he would recommend, he recommended the LiftMaster 8500 (which was more expensive) because it could be installed on the side of the door instead of overhead. That would give me more garage clearance, too, since it actually lifts the door higher than an overhead, chain-based opener would. As a single female, I always worry about being taken advantage of. I agreed to the LiftMaster 8500 and decided I would have them install a key pad on the outside of the door. In addition, several rollers needed to be replaced and some of the hinges on the door were actually upside-down (former owner used McGuyver methods to fix various things in the townhouse). When I got home I couldn't believe how quiet the LM 8500 was!! And I looked on Amazon to see the reviews and it's pretty unanimous - the LM 8500 is a GREAT garage door opener. I even bought the LM Gateway on Amazon that will allow me to open and close my garage door from anywhere using my smart phone. There is currently no ongoing charge for this, which is great! In the end, I feel very well taken care of by Metro Garage Door. I think the LM 8500 is a great opener and I'm glad the technician recommended it. When the scheduler gives you an estimate, they don't really know about issues like I-beams (if they had asked me, I'm sure I would have said, "No, I don't think I have an I-beam running through my garage."). I would recommend Metro Garage and I plan to use them in the future to do tune ups.
Description of Work: Replaced garage door opener, added keypad, replaced a few rollers, fixed upside down hinges.

Had issues with garage door jamming due to broken roller. Saw roller replacement deal on the List and purchased on 2/4. No one responded to deal within the stated 2 day response time. Finally called the vendor and were able to get appointment. Vendor stated that they could not honor the coupon because garage door was too old. Vendor performed services to make the door serviceable. However, after only three opening cycles, it has jammed again.

Metro Garage Door was very easy to work with. They were able to schedule an appointment for the next day. I bought an Angie's list coupon and they delivered on all of the benefits including replacing 10 rollers. I thought my opener was shot but all I needed was some adjustments and lubrication. Our garage door has never been so smooth and quiet. I should have had them out five years ago for the tune up.

Before having my house repainted, it was recommended I replace the garage door, which would no longer hold paint adequately. I looked on Angie's List for local garage door companies and Metro had a high rating. A rep was prompt at giving a very fair estimate, explained his recommendations well and the installation service was great. Would call them in the future without question.

Response from Metro Garage Door Co
Dear [Member name removed], Thanks for giving us the opportunity to help you with your garage door needs. Unfortunately the coupon you purchased from Angie's List didn't apply to our door since it is an old fiberglass door with non standard rollers and track. The technician did the best he could to fix your broken roller so it would work for a little while. And if you refer to the receipt he left with you, you'll notice that there was no warranty on this work since the door part was damaged and the repair he performed was to just get your door running. Unfortunately it only worked several times. You will have to replace your door with current standard rollers and track to finally fix your situation. Unfortunately, there are no replacement rollers available for your door. He also explained to you that you will need to replace this door and opener if you plan on reliable service from you door. He left a recommendation for a replacement door and opener along with the corresponding prices. If you have questions or want to find out about the products he recommended, please call us M-F 8:00am to 6:00pm at 651-633-3599. The technician also told you that you can return the coupon from Angie's List for the full amount which was more than the service call charge. We are sorry that your expectations for the coupon were not met. At least now you have a better idea of what it will take to get a garage door to work reliably for you in this Minnesota winter. We hope you'll give us a call in the future for your garage door needs . Sincerely, Doug Robinson

The guy was honest and didn't suggest anything that wasn't totally necessary. All we needed was a 'garage door service' which apparently you're supposed to do ever year. Pretty sure ours hadn't been done in more than 10 yrs. Lesson learned, but thankfully Metro was an honest company to work with and it wasn't a super expensive lesson.
Description of Work: We weren't sure what was wrong and actually thought that everything might need to be replaced...spring, tracks, opener.

From start to finish - this was some of the best money we've spent! Our garage door was screeching and sticking for far too long. We finally looked in Angie's Lis. to find someone to help us with that. We saw that these guys had a deal - and good reviews - so we went with it. Scheduling took place ASAP and the work was done within the week. Every day since - we've been glad we finally made that call!

The technician was wonderful. Unfortunately, we was late and dispatch actually cancelled on us, after waiting for the service for 3 days, due to an emergency . We then received a call from the technician telling us he was on his way.
Description of Work: He replaced a broken spring and the other one (after discussing this with us) as it was the same age as the first. He also tuned up the openers and made sure the remotes worked. the technician was very knowledgable, informative and professional. I definitely would use this company again.

The technician was on time and quite professional. He replaced the center spring mount. However 12 days later, the door would not stay down, would automatically reverse to open. It happened in the middle of a snow storm when personal belongings for a move were stored in the garage and needed to be secured. The problem occurred and I called for service on a Friday morning explaining the problem and saying that Metro had done work on the door within the last two weeks. Not being a technician, I didn't know if the problem would be covered by the warranty or not. I was told the earliest someone could come out was the following Monday. So I called NorthernDoor and got it repaired in a timely manner. The technician from NorthernDoor said the problem was caused by one of the drums not being tightened appropriately after the spring mount was repaired causing the door to go off track. A mistake. I informed Metro I was dissatisfied and received a callback essentially saying I probably didn't explain the problem clearly enough when I called in else they would have come out, and no way were they going to pay for someone else's work. Though Metro's representative agreed with the NorthernDoor technician's assessment, he said Metro was not willing to discount the original charge even though a mistake was made. Essentially their warranty was worthless and I was out another $100 dollars. I will not use Metro again and will not recommend them to others.

Response from Metro Garage Door Co
[member name removed], We thank you for your business and are sorry that you had a problem with our initial work. In discussing your situation it became clear to me, that if you had been more clear or our staff had better understood that you were concerned that your door was stuck open, they would have made an exception for your situation. They would have tried to accommodate your request for a warranty service call that day instead of suggesting that you wait until the next workday -Monday. Unfortunately, you were apparently so concerned and inpatient you didn't want to wait and called another company to make the needed adjustment so you door would close that day. If you had looked at the receipt that we left with you, you would have known that our warranty is for thirty days following the work we did, and that the routine for a warranty call is that it be scheduled during workdays Monday through Friday. The day that you called we already had a full schedule and couldn't accommodate your request for that day so the customer service representative assuming that you could wait, offered you the next workday schedule. This situation would have been covered under our warranty. but we do not pay to have other companies do this work which is very common in most service fields. Unfortunately, we didn't understand your perspective and concern about the need to secure your door that day of your call. I apologize for our part in this misunderstanding. I hope you'll also accept responsibility for your part in this misunderstanding, namely not being clear about the reason for the your urgency in your request. We do stand by our warranty as is stated on the back side of the receipt that we left with you upon completion of our initial service. We are sorry that we didn't get the opportunity to demonstrate it to you. We thank you for your business. As a good faith offer I will offer you a $50 coupon when you use Metro Garage Door Company again in the future. (A note has been entered into your records.) Sincerely, Doug Robinson President-Metro Garage Door Company
