Barksdale Overhead Doors

On time and done in record time. Job looked great!

Awesome installation and cleanup. Definitly will use again when needed. Answered all emails when I had questions.

The chain on our garage door broke over a holiday weekend. On Monday I called some companies, and the earliest any of them could come out was 2 weeks. I called Barksdale, and they were able to schedule my service on the next day. Rick talked with me about available options, and his prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend contacting Barksdale if you need garage door repairs.

Went excellent. He showed up and knew exactly what to do and the garage door has worked perfectly for over a year,

Only garage door repair person who answered on a Friday evening. Came right out. Finished job quickly. Friendly and professional. Would recommend again.

I called on a Sunday afternoon and Rick took my call personally. We scheduled a next day appointment since the door was secure for the night. Rick showed up on time after calling to be sure it was still good to come over. He trouble shot the door, gave me a cost and set up the next day to fix so he could get parts in. Rick showed up on time again the next day and performed the work without any problems. I would recommend his company for repair work and will keep him as my personal garage door repairman and for a future new door purchase and replacement after having asked him to quote a new door.

Could not be better. I am a retired farmer so I am not the easiest to please. Building a house would be a breeze if all the subs were like Mr. Barksdale.

I called Barksdale (at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday) based on recommendations on Angie's list. He was here within an hour and fixed our door. He was very pleasant and professional.

I contacted them on Monday. They said they would try to stop by that afternoon if possible. They called Monday afternoon to say they couldnt make it and would try Tuesday. On Tuesday they called, we agreed on the time, they showed up on time, did the work as promised.

The door had been binding occasionally for a few weeks. Late afternoon on the Saturday before Easter, the door came off the tracks and was stuck in the open position. Rick came out on short notice because he didn't want us to have the garage door open overnight. I was expecting to pay a weekend rate, but he charged us only the regular service call fee.

I had made 3 phone calls to other providers previous to Mr. Barksdale. Although he too was busy,he said he would find time to repair door so that I could get my car out. He came several hours later and worked about 20 minutes to fix it. I was impressed with his work and he was very kind.

Spring broke late Saturday night, called Rick the following Sunday and he was at my home in less than 2 hours. Rick replaced the spring, alingned the door, performed routine maintenance and gave me some tips and safety information that will increase the lifetime of my garage door. Very responsive and did an excellent job at a fair price and that's all I could ask for.

Rick performed the work exactly as described, charged less than I expected for the labor, did the work very carefully and thoroughly, and checked a number of other things about the door and opener to be sure everything else was alright. All the reviews are absolutely accurate . Rick is the kind of craftsman I always try to find: he is very experienced and competent, does exactly what he says he'll do, and stands behind his work. I was delighted with the whole experience (given that I had to get the blasted thing fixed) and very strongly recommend him to anyone else who needs similar work done.

I damaged the door on Saturday afternoon, and the earliest he could see me was Monday, which wasn't too bad. These things always seem to happen at bad times with real cold weather making it a little inconvenient to wait to get fixed. Rick quickly reset the door (only took 30-45 minutes), and he quickly noticed the door had been cracked at the bottom in a key place which made the door unstable. He screwed in a reinforcement bar to shore up the door, and everything is working fine as before. This is the second time I have used Barksdale. Both times good work and good service. It would have been nice to get it fixed sooner given it was a relatively quick and easy fix, but I understand that contractors are generally pretty busy.

He made time in his schedule to check out the problem with my old garage door opener the day I called. The problem had been getting worse over the last 2 years where the door didn't want to stay down. He tried everything possible to fix it but it just needed to be replaced. That was done the following day to accommodate my schedule and everything has been fine since then. He was very professional and had a helper that made the task go quickly. He thoroughly answered my questions on operating it.

I am glad I called Rick and would use him again.

FANTASTIC, If you need a repair of a garage door opener you could not find a better company to do your work.

Mr. Barksdale is great. Squeezed my job into his schedule by working late into the evening to get the work done I needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone need garage door fixed.

The spring on my old wood garage door broke over the weekend, trapping both my cars inside (since I wasn't about to try lifting the old door manually without the help of the spring). I called Rick Barksdale at 8:30 Monday morning, and he returned my call within ten minutes, and came out within about an hour to lift the door for me so I could get my cars out. I had already decided to replace the whole door and the opener, as the door was rotting, making scraping noises, and the remotes did not work well. Rick agreed that was best, but he did not push me to buy anything fancy; he recommended a basic insulated steel door and a chain opener (the cheapest kind), saying he could make the chain drive pretty quiet by using vynil wheels, so he didn't think there to be much advantage to the belt or screw openers. I asked about higher-end options because of the quality of the neighborhood we live in, and he agreed that having steel on the inside as well as the outside of the door would be sturdier and look better. He gave me a belt drive for the price of a chain drive. We chose a color from his samples, he called a warehouse, and came back and installed the door that very afternoon. He was going to run the wires from the safety sensors across the ceiling to the opener, but I asked if he minded me running them up into the ceiling and through the attic instead to keep them out of sight; he worked with me to do that, even though it proved trickier than I had expected. He and his son were pleasant throughout, and when they were done everything looked and worked great. I gave him a tip in appreciation of his helping us out so quickly, and his being willing to accomodate my request about the wires.

I was very impressed with Mr. Barksdale. He installed new garage doors for us. He was very professional and punctual. He also installed a new garage door opener and moved our existing opener to the smaller third car bay or our garage. His prices are very fair and the quality of the work was excellent. I would hire him again and have already recommended him to some friends who need garage door work.

Mr. Barksdale remembered me from the previous door he installed so he quickly made an appointment to inspect the door he was to replace. He offered a good door and motor at a favorable price and since it was a small job he was able to do the installation between other jobs and the door was installed in less that a week of contacting him. Very tight fit onto the angled driveway that doesn't allow leaves and debris to blow in under the door. Very satisfied.

He arrived on time, good attitude, professional, did the job quickly, and offered tips on how to extend the life of the parts he replaced. Well worth the money.

It is two different doors and they are old and we were afraid they would need replacing so we talked to him and he was super nice. He said he thought the garage doors probably wouldn't last very long because they are old, but he went ahead and just installed openers, which obviously saved us a ton of money. We only had to spend $30 when we would have had to spend hundreds of dollars. He also said that if the garage doors go out he would buy the receivers and openers back from us for part of the price He was really nice and worked with us. He wasn't pushing us to spend a lot of money. We would absolutely use him again.

Mr. Barksdale was available on the day that I called and showed up on time. He tested and tried to repair the old system. When that didn't work we made another appointment for two days later to install a new opener. He arrived promptly and installed the new system quickly. He then showed me how to operate it, let me set the pin for the keypad, and gave me the manual.

I contacted several contractors to have a garage door installed and to remove the old. I found this individual to be knowledgeable, courteous, and easy to deal with. The price was reasonable and the door installation went smoothly. I would consider using this contractor again. The site was clean upon his departure.
