After the initial visit for an estimate, Ron and I talked several times by phone about the job. The problem was that the original door was installed poorly, with the track being secured only to the face boards and not directly to the studs. The studs framing the door were too far apart to anchor the door track directly to them. I did not want the new door to be mounted in the same inferior way. Ron had the idea to fashion custom brackets (at no extra charge) that would reach to the studs and anchor the door track to them. He would also replace the face boards covering the studs, as these were cracked in several places. I liked his ideas and hired him for the job. He did excellent work on both the door and opener. I am very satisfied that the job was done right. If I had called in a big name company, I doubt if they would have been responsive to any custom work. Ron was always willing to answer my many questions, and was a great guy to deal with. I recommend him without hesitation.

Ron is a true professional. Called ahead of time to confirm arrival time. Performed the work efficiently and described what he was doing. Really pleased with his work. I will use him again. He wasn't the cheapest or most costly but fair.
Description of Work: Ron replaced the Torsion Spring which had lasted 23 years which is quite a long time.

Better than expected service. Called at 4:00pm, described problem and requested approximate cost to repair. He offered to come within the hour to provide an estimate which was in line with other costs paid by Angie's list customers. I committed the work to him and he stayed and completed the work by 6:30 the same day. Excellent and professional service and a great relief since one of our cars was unable to exit the garage until the work was completed.

Went great! Called Ron on Thursday evening and told him the issue. He said he'd be at my house between 10:00 and 11:00 the next day and arrived at 09:50!! Had all the required parts, got to it and was done in less than an hour. He was professional, courteous and mindful of my car in the garage. I would highly recommend him for garage door repairs etc.

His cost of repair was not fair of what he did. He took advantage of a single lady who needed help. He also did not have a service card and not ready to fix it even after I talk to him on the phone before hand.
Description of Work: He did tell there was a 55 dollar service fee but did not tell how expensive the three parts to be. He demand 350 the first day and had to come the second day and took another 99 dollars for a hour of fixing it. He was only at my home for 2 and half hours at the most. He did not tell remind me how much it was going to cost before he replace the parts. Never again will I trust them.

He evaluated the situation, was very personable, ensured that both husband and wife knew the cost of repairs before he started and completed the repairs without trying to sell us any repair parts or other services. He reattached the door, straightened the tracks, ensured all worked as it should and was gone within an hour or so. The door is quieter now, and I am a very happy customer who could not recommend any garage door repair firm more highly. AND i'm not exactly easy to please :)
Description of Work: The repairman came quickly after our early morning call for help. Our garage door had become wracked and roller(s) were off the track, track bent... we had great difficulty closing it last night enough to secure our home.

I telephoned at 9:00 am today and discussed my broken garage door with a friendly and polite customer service operator. She immediately organized a call out for my repair that day and offered a slot between noon and 1:00 pm. The service technician (Ron)arrived just slightly after noon and was very knowledgeable. He diagnosed the problem within minutes and pointed out the broken spring which had split in two, thus leaving the garage door inoperable. He provided an estimate to replace the spring and thankfully carried the parts with him, leaving us with a perfectly working door that day, instead of having to wait for parts to be ordered. Ron worked in a swift and professional manner and when finished, asked me to examine the garage door in motion to ensure I was satisfied with the repair. At no time did I feel pushed in to having more (unnecessary) work or repairs carried out as some companies do. This was a five star service from start to finish and I would highly recommend this company and Ron for repair or replacement work.

Came out a day in advance and found the garage doors were 8' rather than 7'. Called and said he would be a little later than the original appointment because he needed to go to Richmond to get a longer rail which he did not have in stock. He called from Richmond to tell me exactly when he would arrive which was only an hour later than the original appointment before he knew he had to go to Richmond. The job was completed on time. He checked everything to insure it worked well which it did, Overall a job well done!!!!!

The garage door would only partially open due to broken main spring. Called for service at 12:30 PM and Ron arrived around 3:30 PM as he said he would do. The repairs were completed in about an hour. Door works fine. Neat, professional work. New parts guaranteed for five years.

I called American Garage Door Repair at 8:00 am on a Saturday. Ron (the sole employee) answered the phone promptly gave me a fair quote and said he could be here by 10:00am. He was a few minutes early, had the whole job done in a little over an hour. He performed quality work, was very knowledgeable and personable. Finished the job, cleaned up and was on his way. Thank you Ron!

My garage door opener failed to operate the garage door properly. I found American Garage Door Repair on Angie's List and called them for an assessment. The service man told me that there was a problem with the opener and a separate problem with the springs. He gave me a price for the repairs ($360.00) and completed the repairs right away. The garage door opener has worked fine since the repairs (two months).

Our garage door jammed halfway open. It is a 42 year-old wooden 2-car garage door that I thought would have to be replaced, but I was dreading that high cost. I wanted it fixed if possible. I checked Angie's List and liked American Garage Door Repairs' focus on springs, cables and repairing doors. Ron responded to my voice mail immediately when I called him on the Labor Day holiday. We arranged for a next day inspection. He arrived a little early and fixed the door quickly. I was pleasantly surprised at the low cost. He estimated "a couple hundred bucks" before he began and that's exactly what I paid. Very professional, dependable, affordable, and most of all, friendly, service. Thanks Ron!
Description of Work: He repaired an old 2-car garage door that was off its track in several places and the cable was twisted and jammed on the wheel. Plus he fixed the latch that hasn't worked right for years.

Ron answered the phone on the first call. I told him the problem and he told me he had the parts and gave me a quote. He came out the next day and arrived on time. He was friendly, knowledgable and professional. It was not an easy job and didn't charge me any more then his quote. (I feel other places would have). He did the job in a little over an hour. The door works better then when it was new!

I called Ron last night at about 8:00 pm as my garage door was bound up. We made an appointment for him to come by today at 1:30. He showed up on time, and after a quick evaluation recommended replacing the spring assembly. Did the whole job himself and was finished by 3:30. Completely professional, I highly recommend American Garage Door Company.

The garage door stopped at the half-way point yesterday afternoon as my husband was getting ready to leave. All of a sudden something snapped and it would not move in either direction. Hubby pulled the safety latch and the garage door slammed down to the floor. We could not get it to budge and were scared to keep messing with it for fear of damaging the frame. I looked on Angie's list to see what our options were on getting it fixed immediately. We decided to call American Garage based on the reviews. I left the number for my husband to call today. On my way home from work in his car, (my car was a prisoner inside the garage) he called me to tell me everything was done! Talk about service. He said that Ron was very knowledgeable and efficient. He was courteous and polite, and was finished in about an 1 1/2 hours. I asked my husband if he would recommend him to someone else and he said "Heck yeah!" this guy was perfect!! I could not be happier, got my car out of the garage, the garage door is whisper quiet, and the other door was lubricated also. I highly recommend.
Description of Work: Repaired a stuck garage door that had a broken cable. Ron came examined the problem, and fixed it promptly and expertly. He also lubricated and inspected the other garage door that rarely gets used.

I would recommend American Garage Door Repair to all of my friends and family. We are in the military, so our family is a large one. Ron was amazing. Upon calling him, he quickly called our renter's and arranged a time and did the same thing the next day when he had to go back. We live in Texas and he was great to me on the phone and even more importantly, he was great to our renter's as well. I will be keeping his information for myself to use in the future when needed and to pass along to other's!
Description of Work: American Garage Door Repair was called early in the morning because our renter had said the garage door stopped working. The cable had come off of the pulley and it was keeping them from using that side of the garage. Upon calling and speaking to Ron he called our renter's and arranged a time to go to the house. When he got there he fixed the cable, inspected to garage door itself and the main box thing that is on the ceiling the operates the door. Sorry I'm not sure what that is called. Ron then called me and told me we needed a new one. He was nice enough to tell me that we could probably save $50-$80 having Sears replace it. But, because he was so honest about that, I immediately asked him to fix the problem. Ron came out the next day and fixed our garage door. It works brilliantly now!

Ron (the owner and sole employee) replaced the tension springs in my two-car overhead (wooden == heavy) garage door.He struck me as an extremely competent garage door tech; I gather he had been at this for many years.His truck was pretty old and beat up, full of junk in the back, but he knew immediately what strength spring was required, grabbed the right ones, and had the repair done. Very friendly, too. Timely and professional with a great deal of knowledge on the subject of garage doors.
Description of Work: Garage door started failing to open; springs needed replacing. Had this company (with good reviews from Angies) come, give me an estimate, and fix it (successfully) on the spot.
