We do commercial rolling steel, fire doors, high speed doors, partitions ,shutters and grilles. We have a HUGE inventory of doors and openers in stock, including a wide range of attractive residential doors and can special order custom wood doors as well.

Our 28 year old garage door basically bound up and inploded. The top portion was falling into the garage, and the bottom portion was crooked (one side it was down to the ground and the other side it was raised by about 18 inches). We called three different companies to get a quote. Twin City Garage Door Co. was the best price and most responsive. They came out the day after we called, gave an estimate, and installed the new door the next morning. Wow...very responsive, professional, and delivered what was promised. For a small fee they reinstalled our garage door opener and they took away all the old stuff. It looks wonderful and we are very happy with the results.
Description of Work: Old garage door was replaced with new garage door.

Mark came over promptly when I called for an estimate. He was competent and was able to work around some issues with my garage because the door was a non-standard size. His estimate was the lowest. When we hired the company, they came out within a few days,and the work was done in half a day. When there was an issue with one the safety features, they resolved it by coming out twice within a few days, and fixing the problem. I would recommend this company to others.
Description of Work: The company installed a new garage door into my two-stall garage, as well as opener and hardware, and provided remotes.The old door and hardware was all removed and disposed of.

My garage door spring broke late on a Thursday night and I called first thing on Friday morning. Unfortunately, they were not able to get out to repair the door until the following Monday, so I spent the weekend with a non-functional garage door. I was told I would get a call first thing Monday morning to let me know what time they technician would be arriving at my house on Monday. I was surprised (and quite pleased) to get a call at 7:30 AM from the technician who told me he'd be onsite between 11AM and 1PM to fix my door. He arrived at around 11:30AM. He was very courteous and replaced the springs in a flash -- 30 minutes from arrival until he was completed. While he was there he did a safety check of the door, inspected the rollers and the track, and once the springs were replaced, he also adjusted the opener to make sure it was working optimally. I was quite pleased that he was willing to answer my questions about what he was doing. I would definitely use this company again for my future garage door needs.
Description of Work: The technician replaced the two garage door springs that help lift the garage door. In addition, he checked the rest of the pieces of the door to make sure they were all in good shape and adjusted the garage door opener to make sure it open and closed properly.

This company installed our garage door almost 15 years ago, and it has worked perfectly, with one minor repair, ever since. This morning it was not working right, and I called the company. The woman in the service department asked for details, then told me what was probably wrong and how to fix it. It worked! Twin City Garage Door is THE BEST!
Description of Work: Just a phone call provided all the help I needed!

The spring broke on my garage door. I called to make an appointment and they installed a new spring and cable in less than 30 minutes. I appreciated their flexibilty in scheduling the appointment and the service technician was friendly. I will use them again.

Two days after our first visit a service tech. arrived with a new Genie screw drive garage door opener. We were very satisfied with the professionalism of both installers, and really like our new opener. It is much more quiet, a smoother operation system over our Craftsman opener that was chain driven. We would call them again if we had a garage door problem and would recommend them to friends.
Description of Work: Initially I called for a garage opener repair and the service technician came to our home and after looking at the problem and the age of the operator, 1998, he suggested that they install a new opener. Since this service repair man did not have garage operators in his truck he suggested to me that Twin City could come out in 2 or 3 days and install a new operator. He did not charge me for the service call and told me what the cost of a new operator and installation would be.

I spoke with Michelle@TCGD today about a garage door that wouldn't go up. She asked me questions to try to get to the root of the problem, and she felt that it was a Screw Drive Carriage. She said they were really backed up and that this was easy to replace myself. I went and picked up the part. After getting home, it took me 10 minutes to replace the part and I had a working garage door. Thanks to Michelle & TCGD for the great service!

I called them on Thursday night and the lady I spoke with was not a repair person but knew the right questions to ask and understood the problem as I described it. She told me someone would call the next morning. They did call early the next morning and said the repairman would be here between 10 am and noon. Repairman showed up on time, quickly changed out the springs, and also gave the door a quick tune-up by lubricating and adjusting the rollers, track, etc. The door operated more smoothly and quietly after the repair. The cost I felt was reasonable for the level of service and is what I expected from what I had seen on Angie's list. It was nice to be able to make a phone call Thursday night and have the problem solved by noon the next day.
Description of Work: With one of the springs broken, the garage door opener could not lift the door and it was very difficult for me to get it open when I tried to "help" the opener. I called this company to come out and replace the pair of springs that help the garage door go up and down. I had done business with them before, several years ago. Back then, they replaced our original wooden garage door that was rotting away with a new lighter weight insulated aluminum door.

Sure enough, a technician called in the morning and said he could be over in half an hour. He was. He replaced the main spring, chain and cable and was done in about an hour. He also readjusted the tension and levelled out the door (which had become lopsided). One thing I appreciate about TCGD is that if they can repair something, they will...as opposed to trying to sell you a new system. I didn't get any other estimates but I am satisfied with their prices and their work.
Description of Work: When I (absent-mindedly) tried to close my double garage door on top of my yard waste recycling bin, it snapped the main spring as well as the track chain and cable. I immediately called Twin City Garage Door who said they'd have a technician out in the morning. I had used them twice before and had been very pleased with their work.

Telephone call to confirm my availability Arrived punctually Identified that cable was not broken and returned it to its rightful place Alligned the door Educated me about the spring, cables, and opener function My neighbor walked out and mentioned that they replaced the spring last week. I decided to have the spring replaced that day since neighbors in development are beginning to require it All completed in a reasonable amount of time and for a very reasonable price
Description of Work: I thought a cable was broken. The repairman said it was not and reconnected it. I asked to have the spring replaced because it could well be near the end of its life. I know better how to care for the garage door and what to anticipate requiring repair in the future.

They said an installer would be out between 10am and 2 pm. About an hour later the installer called and said he would be at my house at noon. He arrived at 11:55 and 45 minutes later after picking up the old parts and a few loose screws he was gone. I was very impressed with the prompt service.
Description of Work: On Friday morning 3/19 I tried to open the garage door, and it started opening, but making a lot of grinding noise. I tried to close it, but it just made noise and would not work. I looked up garage door openers on Angies List and picked Twin City Garage Doors. They told me i had the option repairing or replacing the opener. The opener was 15 years old, so I decided on a new one.

Great. They were timely in installing soon after our garage was built. We had an issue w/ one of the wheels coming out of the track a year later, and they came out and fixed it without charge. We would use them again.

Our garage door opener had stopped working, and we called Twin City Garage Door to either fix the opener or provide a new one. We were told that the opener could be fixed, so they "changed out the gear kit" and lubricated the door with the opener. They also lubricated the door that does not have an opener, which I think is nice. We have called this company before and are very pleased with their service.

The entire process was easy. I called to explain my problem and the woman on the phone diagnosed that I likely had a broken torsion spring and told me where to look to see if it was. After identfying such, I scheduled an appointment and waited a day before they could come out. The TC Garage Door person called the morning of to confirm a 2-hour window of arrival. He showed up within that and took about 30-45 minutes to replace the springs. He also let me know to use a garage door lubricant on the hinges and wheels annually to maintain them. He explained the guarantee coverage--when I asked about such. (I would have preferred that the person doing the scheduling and quoting the price explain this upfront because it's not 100% covered if it breaks within the 5 years of coverage. It wouldn't change anything, but having the information up front avoids surprises.) He also told me that the spring will likely last 6-7 years since I have a detached garage vs. one connected to the house (which gets used more frequently as a front door). Either way, springs are appparently supposed to have 13,000 cycles (an opening and closing is 2 cycles). The price is comparable to other sources of research I did on Angie's list, so it's competitive. I still think it's a little much overall, but worth paying for since it's not something that's easy to do. I would recommend them and use them again. The door works fine and is much quieter too.

The gal who answers the phone at Twin City Garage Door is really professional and easy to talk to. I called on a Tuesday and she said a technician would call me on Thursday morning between 7 & 7:30. Rob called me right at 7 and was at my house by 8. He was also very professional and I got the impression he knew what he was doing. He completed the assessment and the repair in a half hour or less. I wrote him a check while he was here, and he gave me a detailed receipt that explained the work that he had done.
Description of Work: Rob from Twin City Garage Door replaced both the rollers on our garage door and the fixtures that hold the rollers. Our automatic garage door opener hadn't been able to reliably open or close our garage door for a long time - it appears to run fine now (and is much quieter).

They were very responsive and professional. Great customer service. The first door that was installed had scratches and dings, but they worked with the manufacturer to find a replacement door that did not have scratches and dings. The door also needed adjusting to sit flat on the driveway. They took care of everything and made sure they did the right thing for us.

My tenants informed me that a cable had broken. When I called TC Garage Door Co. to set up an appointment for repair, they made arrangements with my tenants directly to set up a time to come to the house. I was able to pay by credit card over the phone (I live out of state) and received a receipt of the work performed within a few days by mail. I have worked with this company several times before, and I find them consistently helpful, professional and responsive.
