Laid out all the parts for the new assembly. Took down old assembly and installed the new one in a timely manner. Tested and adjusted the door as mentioned before. He was friendly and courteous and I wished him luck with his business in the future.
Description of Work: Installed complete new garage door double spring assembly to replace old one that had a broken spring. The old one was an inferior type that would have probably caused problems in the future. Also, adjusted the door track and lubricated all moving parts and quieted the operation of the door to make sure the door was operating smoothly.

Fantastic job. I called on Monday and they were able to be here on Wednesday (even came the day before the holiday!). Work was thorough and very professional. When I bought the house, I didn't get remotes. He fixed the problem I called about, had remotes on the truck that he got working for me and installed a keypad outside the door. I'm really happy with the work and highly recommend to anyone else needing overhead door work. Great job, and great experience!!
Description of Work: Repaired my overhead door (stripped gear) and provided door openers.

A different company (I have AHS home insurance) installed a new opener but shortly after would not open with remotes - very upsetting!

I have used GDS for over four years on rental properties that I own. I deal with a lot of contractors and Matt is one of the best. easy to contact for scheduling, shows up on time and as planned, and completes the job quickly and efficiently. No reason to call any other companies, Garage Door Specialists is the best. Ballwin

The repairs went quickly enough, no issues, no problems. Please note the price was because of a home warranty. He arrived within the appointment time frame, neat appearance, very personable.
Description of Work: Replaced broken tension spring on the garage door and adjusted the belt drive on my opener.

Outstanding performance by GDS. Our garage door started making a loud banging sound a couple of weeks ago. Contacted GDS. Matt arranged an appointment for the next day to look things over. 30 minutes before the appointment Matt called to confirm he was on the way. I find this very professional. He arrived right on time. Matt listened to my story respectfully. He explained the problem. Matt suggested three solutions. He gave me the pros/cons of each. I selected the option to replace the garage door. Again, Matt offered a number of options on how a new door could be acquired. Including the option to have GDS provide the product and install it. I was impressed with Matt's knowledge. Matt was obviously proud of the product that GDS uses. He explained the benefits extremely well. I selected the option to have GDS replace the door. My wife and I looked over some options for the door. We called Mike later that day to ask him about them. He gave us excellent advice on those. We placed the order. Matt checked with his suppliers, told us when the product could be made and scheduled the installation. Which would be in two days. Matt called on the day of the install to firm up the arrival time. The work was performed quickly, smoothly and with absolutely no mess. The door works great. It looks great. We couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: 1. Consult on Garage Door and Opener Issues. 2. Recommend Solutions 3. Provide product and services

My experience with the firm was wonderful. See above.
Description of Work: This firm was called out by my homeowners warranty company to fix the repairs of two previous "experts." The previous experts royally hosed me, and did not fix the problem. It took the owner of Garage Door Specialists about 2 minutes to diagnose the problem. He had the parts on his truck and in a very short period of time fixed the garage door, lubed the rails and performed preventative actions to prevent future problems. What impressed me the most, was while getting to the part that was broken, the Garage Door Specialists, broke a plastic light bulb cover. I don't know how old the opener is, but it was not new when we moved in 8 years ago. The repairman was apologetic and asked it it would be ok, if he dropped off a replacement the next time he was near my home. I clearly did not expect that degree of service, he did not have to offer to replace an old, old brittle plastic part, but he did and met his promise. I don't know what else you can ask for from a service company, but this company is at the top of my list.

Once Garage Door Specialists were called, they fixed the problem in 30 minutes. He had the part on his truck and was super clean and courteous.
Description of Work: I unfortuneately have Amercian Home Shield Home Warranty. They use a firm called Edelen for all of their repairs. These guys are very spotty in their skill level. The Edelen people spent an inordinate amount of time replacing a rubber belt that Sears warrants for life, the problem was fixed for a week and then broke again. The second person adjusted the limit switch so high that it would pick up an elephant. That lasted 3 days. I inisisted that AHS send someone else out. Fortunately they sent Garage Door Specialist. The company owner came out and after hearing what the sound of the garage door opener was making, immediately went to his truck, disassembled the cover and replaced a large teflon gear. The belt did not need to be replaced as Edelen had done, nor was the adjustment edelen did any value. Garage Door Specialists have the skill and are totally professional. I would not hesitate to use them ever again
