Not really a service review but I saw one of the employees at the Turkey Hill in Blandon this morning (2/22/21) and he was not wearing a mask and I think that as someone representing a company in the work attire, he should. It is concerning that he is exposing himself to the virus and then potentially putting paying customers at risk. Very unprofessional. Also he ran a dead red light as he left the gas station. He had a white suv I believe. I won't recommend this company to anyone since they have people like this on the payroll.

Overall this was a very good experience. Was able to obtain an estimate and schedule an install on my first call. Installer arrived right on time and quickly got to work. He even added custom bracket to reduce the stress that a garage door opener puts on the door, at no cost. Installer was very through in explaining details about the system and quick with clean up.
Description of Work: Replaced two defective garage door openers.

Description of Work: Overhead Door of Lancaster did a fine job of replacing our older double garage door. The salesman was very helpful by taking a picture of our home & then putting in the different door options that we were considering. That made it easy for us to choose a door that we are happy with. It was quite a long wait for the door to come in after ordered. I was told that this is the case with all companies since each order is custom. The door quality is very good.

Installers arrived exactly when promised. They removed the old garage door and opener and hauled them away. The new door and opener were installed. New door fits perfectly and is insulated so I can tell it is slightly warmer in the garage. The new opener works great. The work only took an hour or two (I wasn't home but my wife said they were done quickly).

1. The garage door opener could be fixed with new electronics but would cost as much as new opener. So I was going to buy 2 new ones. When I went to see how things were going, 2. I found the old weather strips off and holes being drilled into the bottom sections of my garage doors for the new weather strips. I was upset as this is not what I requested nor wanted. The installer was installing what she said was a U channel weather stripping because that is what her paperwork said. She called the service manager Dave Harms, and he would not indicate he made a mistake but rather put the blame on me as saying that is what I requested. I didn't even know there were different types of weather stripping let alone request a U Channel. I wanted what I had, it slides on the bottom for a clean and nice look vs screws and a black strip coming up 3 inches on the inside and outside of my doors. It now looks very bad and extremely old for a 10 year old but perfect looking home. Anyway, the service manager Dave harms is extremely unprofessional and actually hung up on me when I would not agree with his statement of this is what I wanted. I was upset for his actions and unprofessional conduct. He would never work for me with this attitude. I have called the corporate office in Reading PA (610) 929-8631 and spoke to Terry since the owner Bill was not in. She took the notes and said she would have the general manger David Stackhouse in the Folcroft PA facility where this was scheduled from to call me. ----- I''m still waiting. What needs to be done to resolve this issue is: Replace the bottom panel of each garage door so I have the original and clean look vs. now looking old with screws and black stripping showing on the outside from them not installing what I asked for and wanted. They obviously have issues with their employees and their customer care is to argue with the customer and not listen to what they want or will pay for. PS: I was never presented a bill, but good thing as I would not have paid.
Description of Work: Let it be known that Overhead Door of Reading also owns Overhead Door of Chester and Delaware Counties. This review is for their: 701 Ashland II Bay 1, Folcroft, PA 19032 , phone (610) 583-8522 location. I made an appointment through the service manager Dave Harms at the Folcroft location to have the following done: 1. adjust garage door opener since it was not closing all the way ( if it was to costly to repair or couldn't be, I would purchase 2 new openers, 1 for each garage door so they would be the same model and manufacturer, and the keyless entry would work for both. 2. the other service was to replace the weather stripping at the bottom of each door with exactly style I currently have.

Overhead door originally installed our two garage doors back in the late 1990's. Everything worked well until something came off the track. They came out and fixed the problem without incident. Very pleased!

They were great! They came out and provided an estimate. When I placed the order they kept me apprised of the approximate delivery time. They worked with me to ensure that the doors were installed at a time that was convenient for me.
Description of Work: Overhead doors replaced all four garage doors. They installed new doors, aligned the doors properly and made certain that all of the existing mechanical parts were working well.

Would use this service again in the future. My only complaint is that the repairman was here working about 1/2 hr and I thought the charge a bit excessive for the amount of time spent.
Description of Work: Our automatic garage door cable broke; we contacted this service and they had their repairman out within a few days. The work was done efficiently and well. He also checked both doors for mechanism defects.

If and when a new door becomes necessary, There's no doubt, I would use Overhead Door. My review of Shank Door will explain this decision as well.
Description of Work: My rating above may be a bit confusing. But, I will explain what transpired....When serviceman arrived, he immediately asked me the trouble (or what I thought was the trouble). An important note before I continue : In early summer I insulated my garage door with roll-out insulation.....The tech asked me to put the door up and down about 3 or 4 times. Also, he asked me if I had just recently put the insulation in. Told him I had put it in place in early summer. I personally thought the travel of the door was quieter. And it wasn't rickety going up or down. He said the insulation put just enough weight on the door to keep it from being so noisy. And jumping a lot in the tracks (I use garage door lube 3 or 4 times a year). He told me as far as he was concerned, the door was traveling fluently, and without a lot (virtually no excess noise) of noise. He said he wouldn't recommend any adjustments or realigning. There was no paper billing or receipt given for service call ($75, I think). He told me the office would know how to bill me, since he has to keep logs on what, where, and how long he was at a location. For reasons unknown, I never did get a bill from Overhead Door. My only speculation is because his time log only would have reflected 5-10 minutes, tops, he was there. Basically, this is why the "service" and "price" were marked "N/A". The other categories are basically covered as well. He was on time. Was responsive to my questions and concerns. And professionally, there was no doubt this tech was a veteran in the service and workings of garage doors.

I had thought that the entire unit would need to be replaced but the serviceman identified that solely the gears needed replacement. It has been working fine ever since and I would use them again. He was prompt, courteous and professional.
Description of Work: The serviceman came and changed the gears in a garage door opener that had been out of service for service for many years.

They were fabulous. I called them for an appointment and they were very courteous on the phone. They were out the next day. This is a house that somebody else owned before me and it was not done properly. They did it properly. They replaced both sides rather than just replacing one side and that was because I could see it after they showed me that the spring that was on there was not the same type of spring as what they replaced. What they replaced was a much heavier duty spring. It was much better. I am happy with it and I am picky. I can't say that I actually priced what the replacement would be but I am really happy. I think their price was probably a little more expensive than other places but sometimes we get that for quality work. They were prompt, courteous and took the time to explain everything. They were really good.
Description of Work: Overhead Door Co of Reading inspected the garage door for me. One of the springs had broken. They replaced both sides rather than just replacing one side.
