Contacted A-1 garage door for repair of Wayne Dalton torsion spring. Specifically asked for repair and not conversion to torsion bar. Was told this wouldn't be a problem. Left work early to be home to greet technician who shows up on time to tell me they can't do repair, only conversion. No response from A-1 when I reached out to them again via Angieslist. Very frustrating and disappointing experience.

Description of Work: My garage door broke yesterday evening and I could not access my primary entrance. Thanks to A-1's responsiveness, it was fixed early the next morning, and was smoother and quieter than before it broke! Charles was prompt, professional, and all around positive and pleasant to work with. He got to work right away and not only repaired the problem but made the system more sturdy. He even changed the light bulbs that had burned out so long ago I had forgotten how nice it was to have the automatic lighting.

They correctly identified the cause of the problem, unlike another company that wanted to replace the door at six times the price. The did the job and the door has never worked better. There was some delay because they did not get a part delivered at the promised time.

Installer came out prior to job to measure. Never told us garage had to be cleared out. When he arrived for the install, he had major attitude because inoperative vehicle was in the garage. We managed to remove the vehicle and some other items so that the installation could begin. Only one person came to install a double garage door. Very surly, borderline rude. When asked to change the frequency of the receptor because we noticed interference from neighbors remotes, he said "what are you going to do for me" (????). (Scam Alert)....He then insisted we must need a new automatic lifter because that is not normal. Needless to say, we didn't fall for it. Bottom line...Garage door is great, great price, however the downside was an unprofessional installer.

The people e at A-1 were very knowledgeable, professional, and customer centric. I needed a new garage door and they gave me a good price and the installation was excellent. The technician arrived when scheduled and did an outstanding job. The door and the mechanism continue to operate with no issues whatsoever.

Great communications with the front office during the initial phase, the doors were ordered and came in much sooner that I had expected, and we scheduled installation for early the following week. The installer showed up at about 07:30 this morning (the schedule was between 7 & 9) and set up his work station. I said goodbye to him shortly after noon with both doors installed, trimmed and the openers hooked back up and tested. There was a bit of alignment and fine tuning of the spring on one door, but it was handled well. The installer was a great guy and really knew how to do the job. I Learned quite a bit and he was happy to explain why something was being done and/or what it did. Highly recommend. The only down side is now the surrounding trim looks bad and I have to get some paint.
Description of Work: I wanted to replace two 40 year old windowless garage doors with something better looking, insulated and with windows to let light in.

Wonderfully! A-1 was as good as your reviews said they were! Came same day. Was professional, polite and personable. Repairs were affordable and bought us some time before we have to replace the full garage door. No push to spend more than I needed to and my garage door has never worked better! I will definitely use them again for both repair and replacement!

Went well. Very professional. Came back to A-1 since they were very prompt the first time I had them come out in September 2016.
Description of Work: Once again, a Wayne-Dalton spring broke on my garage door, making it impossible for the garage door opener to close due to excessive closing force. Even with the snow storm, Josh came out on the agreed time and replaced the hideous Wayne-Dalton spring assembly with a much easier traditional spring setup. Now, it's easy to see if a spring breaks, and which one it was. Was done in less than 2 hours.

From the initial online appointment, the initial visit to troubleshoot, thru installing the new unit. It's been one of the most pleasant experiences I've had recently! Thank you A1 Garage Door and Charles for his professionalism and showing me all about the unit and how to take care of the door/unit in the future. The unit works great, looks great and was better than I expected. The cost was good. All done with a 4 day window.
Description of Work: Needed to repair/troubleshoot the overhead door opener. It was an older unit and the technician/Charles did some troubleshooting. Then shared with me what the problem was. He also noticed the spring on the other door needed to be replaced. He then recommended another Liftmaster unit, new springs and pulleys would be needed. He called the office and scheduled an install for Friday morning and gave me a price. Charles changed out the hardware, installed the unit in record time. It was the most professional job ever!

[Member Name Removed] thanks for your review, we charge you additional money because you just paid service to Angies list and your gear on your opener need to be replaced that why you paid for the part it wasn't an additional charge beside what you have paid 2 . It was almost two week now that a technician came to your house and did that service but you just email just two days ago that you are having a problem again and I set another appointment for a technician to come back again and check what it was for you so I don't know what else you need again that we did not do for you Let me know if there is something that you need and I will be so happy to do it for you please Abby

A-1 is the only garage door company you’ll need to call. This was my third experience with them, and it’s their third home run with me. Three hours before hosting a party for 40 graduating high schoolers, I backed into my double garage door, which was auto-closing just as I was backing in. I thought the door was a total loss, and was hanging dangerously from one cable on one side and two rollers on the other, and badly dented. I called A-1 in a panic, and Abi had Charles on his way in minutes – from Virginia to Maryland in Friday rush hour!! I expected him to tell me the door was a loss, and then help me order/replace the one I destroyed. Was I ever wrong. He went right to work, and in about an hour my door was back on track – literally – the dents barely visible, and quieter and smoother than it had been all year. He’s the magic man when it comes to garage doors, and both he and Abi are as pleasant, polite and professional as could be. Their prices are very reasonable, their responsiveness is unmatched, and their results are superb. Like I said – HOME RUN!

Charles arrived on time to give me an estimate for installation of a new opener. The price was great and he did not try to sell me anything extra. As he had time to install it right then, we moved forward. He worked efficiently to mount the opener, and tightened/adjusted the existing rails, springs etc. The new wiring is neatly done. A very professional job! He even helped me to set up the HomeLink connection with my car. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
Description of Work: I needed a new garage door opener for a single car garage, where none had existed before.
