Grand Openings Garage Door is a locally-owned and operated business that offers professional service and ethical performance combined with competitive pricing and prompt delivery. We take great pride in our service and back all of our work up 100% with industry-leading warranties. We have been in business since 2003 in the Raleigh/Durham area and have grown considerably on word of mouth and proudly stand by our unwavering reputation.
.Turns out that Michael is the owner and personally handles Angie's list calls. A family business and he obviously takes great pride in the quality of his work. He could have tried selling me a new garage door opener but was able to fix the problem. Talked to me about the cause of the problem and I actually understood what he said! I do expect to need a new opener in the next few years and fully intend to use them again. Thank you, Michael! Outstanding service. Punctual. Neat. I would recommend to everyone.
Description of Work: A few years ago my garage door opener would only open the door part way in the winter. No problems when it was hot, but it would only go up about halfway when the temperature was below 55. I have some mobility problems which is why I have an opener. Getting out in rain/snow/freezing temperatures was not helping matters. I did have another company come out to check the door. He lubricated the tracks and left. Problem was back a week later. After joining Angie's List and reading the reviews, I selected Grand Openings Garage Door.

Michael was very nice and trustworthy. He came and gave an estimate for repairing our garage door springs and was able to repair 1 of them at that same visit. I was very please that he was able to do it then and also was able to repair it with the new coil system, when others said it couldn't be done because our garage and system is very old. He then scheduled to come back and do the 2nd one within a couple days, and he came as scheduled. Would definitely use him in the future for any repairs or replacements.
Description of Work: He came and gave 3 estimates, fix what we had, update to new coil system, or replace doors and system. The prices were all very reasonable. We discussed the complications of each fix and decided to update to the coil system. The work was pretty complicated but we did it and didn't raise his price.

Everything went great--there were no problems.
Description of Work: Tightened and cleaned the track, put new wheels on door, fixed the buton so the door went up and down with having to hold it. This door never worked this well since we moved into the house. The serviceman was very efficient and professional and did more than we expected. I will be using them again when I replace this old door.

Mike was quick to respond to our call, came out immediately to assess the situation, gave us many options, priced things fairly and appropriately, gave suggestions, and listened attentively to what we needed. When we decided on the new operator, he got it installed as quickly as possible and was available for consultation if we had any questions. He's a pleasure to do business with and very professional. In October, we had to have a repair due to an accident, and he came out within 3 hours of our call requesting service and fixed it perfectly.
Description of Work: We needed our garage door to operate more quietly--it was shaking and rattling our son's room above it. Mike gave us many options, but we decided on a brand new opener/operator, mounted to the front/side of our garage. It works like a charm, is more secure, and is significantly quieter.

A lot of home builders don't always have the expertise to install garage doors and openers correctly. They just read the instruction manual and do the best they can. This approach usually results in a door that works at first, but will eventually have problems. Mike did a great job fixing up our door! It works a lot better now...much quieter and smoother operation, no more loud, jittery up and down that the whole neighborhood can hear. He arrived a little late, but compensated by making some adjustments to our other garage door free of charge. He did this without being prompted. Would definitely use Mike again.
Description of Work: Tune-up on garage door and door opener. Replaced the rollers, adjusted the track alignment, lubricated the chain, and checked the opening/closing limits.

Fantastic service. I called Grand Openings after having a bad experience with another vendor who had given a very high quote to replace a broken spring and winder mechanism. Grand Openings was less than 1/2 the price and did more than we asked for, tuning my other doors as well. Terrific service. Very highly recommended.
Description of Work: Overhead garage door was not operational due to broken spring and other failing rollers, brackets, and winders. Prior owner had neglected the whole thing. Grand Openings came in to provide an estimate and then returned on a Sunday to do the actual work. He fixed all the broken parts and also addressed some other maintenance issues that I hadn't noticed.

Michael Ropelewski, owner and operator was exceptional in every way. He was prompt and attentive to the work he was doing. It is obvious that he is committed to providing the best in customer service. He is experienced -- mentioned that his father had been in the garage door business as well. Apple didn't fall too far from the tree. I highly recommend him as your go to person for your next garage door tune up or door replacement.
Description of Work: Our almost 30 years old town home has a one car garage. The door was made of outdated wood material and the bottom panel was rotting. We've been quite pleased with the new one.

A part of the garage door was broken when hit by the lawn tractor. I called Grand Openings and Mike responded quickly. He came the next day and replaced the broken part. The door works perfectly. He was very professional and knowledgeable and I would use him again and/or recommend him to people in need of his services.
Description of Work: Mike checked the garage door, which was refusing to come down without holding the button til the door hit the ground. He replaced the broken part and the door was working again in a matter of minutes.

It went real well during the two hours he's with us. He quoted me over the phone for $175. At end he told me that he did all within the budget plus we are retired people; therefore, I owe him only $130. We did not ask for this discount or adjustment at all. Anyway, he checked the door operations numerous times and then he told us it is all good to go and if there is anything wrong just call him and he will take care of it without charge.
Description of Work: Michael did the tune-up for two single-car garage doors. These are 35 years old wood panel garage doors. He also replaced one of the cable which was slightly damaged when an extension spring was popped off the hook a couple dyas ago. He went ahead replaced four load-bearing pulleys too (two for each garage doors).

This service was excellent. The guy who came went right to work, repaired our ancient and quirky garage doors, got them to function beautifully. We had lost our remote garage door openers, so he went and got us some new ones and brought them over several days later. He was very friendly, and great to work with!

We were very happy with the service performed. Mike was very friendly. He called at the time of our appointment to inquire about our address. I had forgotten to update our address on Angie's list, which caused him to go to our previous address (30 minutes away). He had every right to reschedule the appointment and to get frustrated, but he did neither. He was very understanding about it. When he arrived, he explained exactly what he would be doing. We were absolutely amazed at how much quieter the door is now. We were also experiencing issues with the door going back up on its own that was related to faulty photosensors. Mike was also able to repair that issue. Even though it wasn't discussed prior to the appointment, he provided and programmed an additional remote for the unit at we considered to be a very reasonable cost. This coupon was a very good deal and we heavily recommend it. We will absolutely be calling Mike if we have any issues with our garage door in the future!
Description of Work: We purchased a garage door tune-up and roller replacement coupon. Mike replaced the rollers, oiled hinges and made numerous other adjustments. He also provided an additional remote control as our unit only came with one.

Your search for THE BEST garage door company can come to an end. I found it...Grand Openings Garage Doors! Our garage door was expertly repaired by Mike Ropelewski, owner of Grand Openings. What a breath of fresh air to find someone who is honest, fair, and exceptional at his trade. From the first phone call through to the completion of the job, it was clear that Mike is different from the "other guys." Other companies have groomed their employees to come out, charge an exorbitant fee for an estimate, then try to sell you everything under the sun. They are profit driven and disconnected from their work and from their customers. Mike is the total opposite. He truly takes pride in what he does and he cares about his customers. He is extremely knowledgeable (in a very unassuming way), and as you listen to him speak, you will know right away that he is well versed in his craft. He arrives on time (to the minute) and is beyond reasonable in his pricing. If you read the other reviews people have written, you will see consistent high marks for Mike and his company...deservedly so. The job Mike came to do was performed perfectly. I know there will never be a need to shop for someone else and I will continue to spread the word! It is rare to find the level of dedication and professionalism that Mike displays. Lastly, you will see that above all else ........Mike is a really nice human being. Thank you for everything!!

Mike was on time and very thorough with the work performed. We discussed things that were being maintained along with future maintenance vs replacing the door/motor. Mike came across very honest, sincere and trustworthy. He will work with you to maintain the door/motor if maintainable or offer affordable options in replacement. I have had maintenance performed by other Big Deal offerings in the past and I would say that Mike was the most accomodating and knowledgeable of the other companies. Mike went beyond the Big Deal offering to makes some adjustments to the door to accomodate for a slightly bent strut. The knowledge / experience he has was greatly appreciated.
