garage doors
+ -1 moreAfter the payment and continued complaining with Home Depot, Calder finally did a site visit and measured the openings. It took another 2 months for the doors to arrive and more time after that to arrange installation. Calder claimed that they never received the work order from Home Depot and visa versa. Any way, it was a good 4 months before work was started. The installer complained from the start as to how far he had to travel (from Lancaster to Carlisle). The doors that he installed the first day were: 1. Two different doors from the ones ordered and paid for. 2. The lites(windows) were from two separate models. 3. The installer still installed them. 4. A garage door opener was ordered for the one door. It was never installed correctly and jeri-rigged into an existing light fixture. 5. The other door never opened correctly ( the one panel must be physically pushed in while raising door). 6. The dispatcher was rude and stated if I wanted the work corrected, there would be an additional charge. 7. Out of desparation I agreed and the 2nd techician was appologitic and did all the re-work. There was no charge. The bottom line is the initial instalation was botched.
Description of Work: My original Garage doors were wood and falling apart. I have a double Single door garage. So I had to get two doors. I went to the local Home Depot; who subsequentally sub-contracted the job to Calder. The job was paid in full up front. Calder has an agreement to do all of Home Depot's installations.

+ -1 moreOverall the installation was a lousy job.
Description of Work: We went with Calder because we liked the product they were selling, even though they were not the least expensive. When the installers showed up, we found out it was a subcontractor. While the doors were being installed the contractor informed us that the windows could not be placed where we wanted in the third panel. He had to put it on the top panel(I like to look out my garage while I am working with it on the top panel). I could not do this. When Calder called we informed him we were not satisfied with the location of the windows. They did send someone out to correct the situation, but we discovered that the window panel was dented and was hidden by the door frame. They were supposed to order a new panel. When several weeks went by and we did not hear from them, we called and they FORGOT TO ORDER THE NEW PANEL. Eventually it did come in and was replaced. After using the doors for several weeks I noticed the track was bent at installation. They also installed a weather stripping on the garage floor allegedly to prevent water from entering the garage - these do not work at all as the rain still comes in just as happened with the old garage doors.

garage doors
+ -1 moreArrived on time as scheduled and immediately saw the problem. Adjusted cables and some of the hinges. Lubed all hinges and pulleys and made numerous adjustments to cables. Kept me informed as job progressed and showed me where to lube the door when needed. Extremely thorough and very professional. Cannot say enough good things about the technician. He got a quote for me on a new opener while there and you can be sure I will be buying from this company and recommending them to all my friends in the future. Cost of service was very reasonable compared to other estimates I had gotten.
Description of Work: Re-Aligned garage door which was making a loud howling sound

+ -1 moreI don't know yet. They didn't show up and didn't give me enough time to respond to their phone call.
Description of Work: No work done. I scheduled a time for them to come out between 12pm and 2pm today. I stepped away from my cell phone for a few minutes. They called me on my cell phone to tell me that they couldn't find my address and I had 5 minutes to return their call or lose my appointment. I called them 17 minutes after their phone call and had to reschedule. I expressed my annoyance at having only 5 minutes to call back and the receptionist wasn't very sympathetic. They promised to come out tomorrow in the late afternoon. Here's hoping they have my address right tomorrow. If they don't do a good job tomorrow I will not be happy.
