Fantastic! Calvin came the same day called - said he was very busy but happened to be nearby. He quickly diagnosed the problem. He said that I might be able to get the replacement part free from the manufacturer of the system, gave me the info to call them and offered to return when the part arrived. I wanted the door fixed that day so I just decided to buy the part from him since he had it on his truck - can't get much more convenient than that. He fixed it quickly and my door was back in service. Calvin has worked on my garage doors previously and has fixed all kinds of problems. He carries a full stock of replacement parts on his truck so every time he has been at my home he has been able to diagnose and fix in the same visit. This man knows garage doors. His prices are reasonable and he is honest.
Description of Work: Malfunctioning garage door. Needed part replaced.

Mr White came as specified, performed a more permanent repair, and declined to accept payment.
Description of Work: In the wake of Harvey, my garage door became balky. Mr Calvin White suggested a temporary fix over the phone (which worked!) and said, having business in my area tomorrow, that he would come by.

See above--no actual work done.
Description of Work: The spring on my garage door failed. I called Bay Area Overhead Door and explained my situation. Immediately, I was told that I probably had Wayne Dalton doors (which I do). I was impressed. Their door spring system is more specialized and he recommended that I go directly to Wayne Dalton. I was very impressed with his knowledge and his honesty. He recommended that I first should get the spring information off a label on the spring so they could bring the proper spring to do the job, possibly avoiding a second trip. I followed his recommendation, but I certainly would consider him if I needed new doors or had a different installation. I appreciated his integrity, because he could have offered to totally replace the spring system with one of his choosing, possibly at a higher cost.

The work went very well. Calvin White called me back and we set up a time for him to come to my house. He diagnosed the situation and identified several problems including a broken garage door spring and mis-aligned door tracks. He even fabricated one component on site. His work was systematic and he did not cut corners despite the heat in the garage. Then he lubed everything. The door works beautifully now. I would definitely use Bay Area Overhead Door again.

The service was excellent. Fix the garage door. It was better and stronger then new.
Description of Work: The two car garage door top panel was badly bent by the garage opener. Calvin replaced the required parts and hinges. He also adjusted the garage opener which was push down too far causing the door to bent. Highly recommend Bay Area Overhead Door (Calvin) to fix any issue you have with your garage door.

I was very pleased with Mr. White's work. He explained what he was doing and what he was looking for in the door operation. It turns out I don't need a new opener. I appreciated the explanations and have a much better understanding of how the opener and door function.
Description of Work: My garage door opener was serviced last week by another company but still was not working correctly. I called Mr White and explained what the opener was not doing. We arranged an appointment for this Saturday. He called a short while later to say he could come then to check out the opener to assess my needs. He arrived on schedule and made multiple adjustments to the door itself as well as reviewing the opener.

The old door and the new opener work like a Swiss watch now. Calvin (the Owner) did a lot of "extra" work (at no additional costs) on the old door and tracks to realign and lubricate things so that everything runs smooth and quiet. Very satisfied with the overall installation and would highly recommend Bay Area Overhead Door.

Carlton was AWESOME. He called at 9:10 for a 9:30 appointment to confirm and ask could he arrive early. Once he arrived he worked quickly and did an outstanding job. Within 45 minutes, he installed a new spring and opening device, oiled and lubed all appropriate parts. He was fair and he only charged what he quoted. (All others quoted double what he charged).

Just like the other reviewers say, he gives you 20 minutes notice and is on time. Great customer service!
Description of Work: Calvin replaced a broken spring, realigned the door, and did an overall checkout of the system. He is very honest. He stood by his initial quote even though it took him quite a bit longer to check and realign everything. He believe in top notch service so that he has little repeat business.

I called Calvin on 4-15-15 and we scheduled the appointment for 4-17-15 at 9:30 a.m. He called me at 9:00 a.m. and said he would be here in 20 minutes and he was. He checked out the door and went to work. He lubed & adjusted it and aligned the tracks. He also reconfigured the top roller brackets. And, the door is now working perfectly. One of my remotes needed a battery and he replaced it for me. I would highly recommend Bay Area Overhead Doors. Very professional and knowledgeable. If I have any more problems with my doors, he will be the one I call.
Description of Work: Calvin fixed my garage door where it no longer "squealed" when I opened it. Also made adjustments where it would close more quietly when lowered.

Prompt quality service! I called Calvin, left a message and he returned my call within 15 minutes. Fortunately, he was nearby and finishing a job, so he came right over to my house. He recognized the problem with our garage door immediately and set to work. He didn't try to sell my anything I didn't need, which I very much appreciate. The job was finished within 30 minutes and I paid $75 for his labor. So nice to get the door fixed within an hour of calling for service!

I explained the problem that the garage door would not shut when you used the remote but would shut if you held down the button on the wall until the garage closed. He was very knowledgeable about my garage door even though it is over 10 years old. He suggested we make sure the sensors were lined up and that the light was on. He explained when the sensors are not lined up properly the light goes out. Played with the sensors and now everything is working. His tip saved us a trip charge and I will use him if anything goes wrong with my garage door again. I would not think of calling anyone else. This is the type of person you want to do business with.

Calvin did a great job. I have used his services before about 10 years ago to install my garage door opener. He is very professional and more than competent. He is also very conscientious and cares about doing a good job. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: My garage door was binding in places and starting to get very unreliable. I was also concerned about the safety of the door. Calvin adjusted the tracks, replaced some of the rollers, and got it working perfectly.

My Genie garage door opener has had a problem with the safety sensors. They did not work and the only way to shut the door was to hold down the wall button. I shopped for new sensors, only to find out they were not compatible with my older Genie. On the company website, they no longer produce or support the old sensors. Calvin thought he'd be able to get new ones to work just fine. And he was right. That kept me from buying a new garage door opener. Now this one works just fine.

The safety sensors were prohibiting full door closure. I found Bay Area online along with a couple of other door companies. After describing the issues to Calvin White the company owner, I felt his responses were more informative than any of the others. We agreed on a 9:30 start time on Tuesday. At 9:30 Tuesday he arrived at my home, quickly determined that the sensors were operational, thereby negating the need for new ones. After further investigation he noticed that the right side door track was loose and shaking as the door travelled up and down. This caused the right side sensor to vibrate out of alignment with the left side which prevented the door from closing. He could have easily braced the track with a 2x4, but in my opinion he went the extra mile and installed a metal brace which he then anchored into the concrete floor. The door now functions as intended and after lubrication and adjustment it is much quieter and vibrates far less. For punctuality,price and level of service I don't believe I could have done any better.
Description of Work: Diagnosed problem with safety sensors, lubed door and rollers,and adjusted opener chain and force settings.
