I have a garage door that was poorly installed by another company; the door didn't always close, and when it did, it was not flush with the ground on one side. Tom fixed the door - no problem! I was told by many people that the problem of the door not meeting the ground on one side could not be fixed without squaring-up the opening with new concrete. I can't say enough about happy I am that Tom was able to fix this problem.

The garage door went up then fell back down and jammed. We called Suburban and he came and diagnosed and attempted an emergency repair. The spring broke again. He had to order a pair of new ones. He installed them a day early when we were not home. Two other contractors had wanted 3k to replace the door and opener. The provider was expert, courteous and trustworthy.
Description of Work: Two broken tortion springs were replaced and the door balanced.

The repairman came on time, did the work quickly, and cleaned up. The mechanism works quite well and I am pleased with this service.
Description of Work: My garage door opener stopped working and I couldn't lock my garage. The company came promptly and replaced the mechanism for the agreed on price. This price was lower than the three other companies with which I compared it.

The garage door spring broke (the large coil one above the door), causing the door to be stuck in the down position. My wife and I, along with our cars, were stuck on a morning we needed to get to work. We called Suburban and they arrived within an hour and a half of our call. The serviceman replaced the spring and lubricated all parts on the door. I was impressed with their prompt, professional service. I will definitely call them again in the future.

It went very well. We called the company and got a convenient appointment. The installer arrived on time and was prepared to install a new opener since we had established on the phone that this might be a possibility (our old garage door opener was about 20 years old and not reparable). Everything went well -- he made sure that we understood all of the features and controllers (it's more advanced than our old one). He cleaned up everything and took all the old machinery, etc. away with him.
Description of Work: Installed complete new garage door opener -- all new bracing, touch pad, outdoor touch pad.

Extremely pleased and would use this company again. I don't feel you need to shop around!
Description of Work: Our old 8 x 16 wooden garage door was removed and a new door was installed. The installation was perfect since the individuals in the room above are not bothered by the sound of the opening and closing of the door. The door looks great. I was concerned about how it would look since my house is a beautiful 1938 stone colonial and I do use wood to replace many items. I have an aversion to vinyl and yet the door fits in perfectly with the architecture of my home.

Company was excellent. Very upfront with pricing and possible extras. Accomodating with regard to scheduling and came out the next day and got the job done right. The door is much quieter than before the repair so that was a pleasant surprise since I had no idea that it was noiser than normal. I wish more companies did business this way.

Our garage door spring broke suddenly one day. I found them on Angie's List and they were able to come out the next morning. I was quoted a price on the phone of $265. The work was completed in under 30 minutes and the final price was $215. I was very satisfied and would use them again.

Technician was right on time, knowledgeable and gave me all my options with no pressure. The office called to confirm appointments for the actual work. Very professional; highly recommended!
Description of Work: I had two malfunctioning garage doors, both with antiquated door openers and some damaged pulleys, chains, etc. I thought I might need new doors, but the technician assured me it wasn't necessary. He replaced the electric door opener units, repaired the pulleys and some of the tracks, and it's all working like new for less than I thought I would have to pay.

Very responsive. Answered phone promptly and gave straight-forward pricing info without a fuss. Called promptly to make an appointment. They came while we were out so I cannot vouch for their exact timeliness. We left check based on their excellent Angie's List rating. Job appears to be well executed. Old door gone and things left neat and clean. As a bonus, they changed a few small parts that must have been worn and did not ask for any more money. That is very impressive.

I could not be more pleased! This was my first foray with Angie's List, and it was all I was hoping for. I found Suburban Overhead Doors on the List, read the reviews, and it sounded like they could help with my problem. I called, and spoke with a really pleasant woman who set up an appointment for Monday. As it turned out, I was unexpectedly away due to a family emergency when Tom came (he was right on time), but we spoke on the phone, he independently handled the two garage door issues I had, and a bill arrived a couple of days later. Smooth, easy, pleasant, successful. Hurray!! Thanks!
Description of Work: Fixed one garage door that was no longer opening properly, and also fixed the opener for the second door.

Repeat customer of this vendor - another excellent job. Very quick call back when message left (within the hour), and someone came out the same day. It was a quick and easy fix, and good companies make such repairs seem quick and easy.
Description of Work: My garage door was stopping halfway up. This was sometimes resolved by reversing the door & reopening, but sometimes the only way to make it go up was to push it up while the door was opening before it stopped.

I had to wonder why my prior garage door repair company had given me such flimsy pulleys, because my 30 year old wooden door is a double-size, for a two car garage. Suburban explained that they liked to exceed the standard specifications. Now I won't be calling for a repair every 4 years, thank goodness.
Description of Work: Pulley wheels were worn out, causing my wooden garage door to noisily jerk and bind upon its automatic closing. I had spent $700 having it repaired 4 years earlier, and I was worried that it would be costly. So I checked Angie's List for a repair company with a good record and reasonable costs. Suburban Overhead Doors came out the same day that I called, and fixed it quickly, such that it operates like new. They installed larger pulley wheels that should last four times longer; a big relief to me since I'm on a tight budget. I'm very pleased.

I called on a Thursday and scheduled the appointment for Monday morning. The repair man was out Monday morning to fix the door. He recommended the work necessary and completed the repair in about an hour. He was friendly and professional. I asked how much it would be and he told me I would be billed by the office, but around $175. The bill came in at $225.
Description of Work: The left cable broke on the garage door. The repair man replaced both cables, 2 pulleys, the support brace and 2 guides.

I had used Suburban Overhead Doors at our previous home and appreciated their service. Work started on time and it took most of the day to get the doors back into service. Several wheels had to be replaced the spring mounts adjusted.
Description of Work: Installation of new springs and rollers on two old wood garage doors. Repair damaged parts, as needed. Removal of old (ca. 1960's garage door openers). Installation of two LiftMaster garage door openers and a door mounted remote. Work area was left clean and a thorough explanation was given on the garage door openers and safety devices.

I woke up to a broken garage door, one spring had broken and the cable and pulleys were just hanging loose. I searched Angie's List as soon as I got to work, found Suburban Overhead doors was the highest rated in my area and left them a message at 8:30 am. They returned my call by 9:30 am, and were at my house by early afternoon. They worked quickly, cleanly, and did an outstanding job.
