Excellent Service!!! Called this morning at 9am and had new garage opener by noon. Mike was my tech and he was awesome! Very polite, informative and helpful. He even programed an old opener and my car for me! He taught me about what to watch for with the springs and how to test them. Overall, I cant give this experience enough stars. Im one happy mama and will be recommending to all of my friends.

I needed to replace an original builder grade garage door. The first few places I called tried to push high end doors and used the delay in product and installation as a hard close.Glad I called Garage Door Experts. They had the perfect door for me and installed it a few days from the call.Outstanding work! Never thought I would be so excited about a garage door. Highly recommend!!!

I’ve used this company 2x. Once to fix a broken spring and just recently to install a motor and key pad for a third car garage that had never been used. Great service! Fast, reliable, professional. Would definitely hire them again.

Brandon was on time, worked quickly and efficiently, teaching me about my doors along the way. I thought I would be replacing the entire garage door opener on one door as it hadnt worked for 5 years, but in less than an hour he fixed both openers and installed new sensors on one door. I wish i had called 5 years ago! Thank you!

I called and spoke to Rachel and requested a quote on a new garage door. She was very straight forward with pricing and answered all questions I had. I inquired about a deal they had going on their website and she got me together. She verified that all material I was looking for was in stock and they could have a tech come out the next day! The next day Mike came out and was very knowledgeable about the way garage doors work, where mine went wrong and reassured me my decision to get a new garage door was the best. It only took roughly 3 hours that was to remove and install a garage door and motor! Thank you so much for making things 20 times easier for me!

When my garage door broke, I contacted several local companies to come out and give me a quote on a new garage door but none of them were even willing to come out to look at it for a week or so. So I ended up calling The Garage Door Experts and boy am I glad I did. Not only did they come out the very next day, they were incredibly professional, friendly & knowledgeable. They went over all of the different options available with me and helped me pick the perfect door for my house. They ordered it immediately and ended up getting it installed before any of the other guys wouldve even been out to my house for the first time. The door was great, the price was very good and the guy who installed it went out of his way to make sure that every aspect of the door was perfect. His attention to detail was great and I couldnt be happier with his work. The Garage Door Experts will be my Go-To Garage door company from here on out.In fact, Im already planning on having them come work on my parents garage door as well.

I called the garage door experts for some adjustments, maintenance and upgrades. The tech called and arrived on time (early actually ) and was a pleasure to work with.

I was really impressed with Keiths knowledge, speed, craftsmanship and expertise. He had a new garage door motor and wheels installed in a little over an hour right after he got to our house for the quote. Im glad I called you guys and would recommend you all to anyone I know needing garage door work done. Couldnt of asked for anything else. I especially like the fact that he didnt want to know my garage door code even tho I was comfortable with him knowing I also like the fact that he said dont hesitate to call him if we have any questions or if anything needs addressed in the future.

Keith was amazing. I was really in a pinch and needed my door fixed. He happened to have the part on his truck so it was back to perfect in 30 minutes. He had a great attitude and amazing work ethic. And also took the broken parts with him so I didn’t have to figure how how to dispose of them. He also taught me how to care for the door in the future to make sure it maintained quality longer. Just a really great experience overall! Also the customer service on the front end was great. It all happened so fast and I felt the pricing was extremely fair if not more than fair. Extremely happy with my experience and wouldn’t call anyone else in the future but them to help with garage door needs.

Review №38

Placed a call to Garage Door Experts regarding my opener that would intermittently malfunction and this has been going on for several weeks.On Aug 27th Keith and Josh stopped by and made some adjustments at my request and the door worked amazingly well while they were there, but Keith did explain that the motor may be going bad since it was an older unit and he adjusted all that he could.They left and I was happy with the adjustments and the explanation. About an hour or so later, when I attempted to close the door, it started acting up again, so I promptly called Keith back and explained the issue.He suggested that we replace the whole setup due to the age and I agreed and he said that the service fees previously paid would be applied to the new opener price. So on Monday Sept 1st Keith and Josh returned with my new Genie Opener. I must say, this thing is the smoothest and quietest opener Ive ever had installed.Keith and Josh explained everything to me in detail and I cant be more thrilled. They really enjoy their work and it shows in there attitude and professionalism. Its so nice to meet folks who really enjoy what they do and take pride in their craft.I dont anticipate any issues with our new garage door opener for some time to come, but if something comes up, I know who to call.Thanks Garage Door Experts (Keith and Josh)Tom E.

Our initial consult was quick and informative, they were incredibly flexible with scheduling our door repair and new installation. Once it was time for installation, the young man who did the work was kind and did a great job of keeping us informed on his progress and suggested upgrades that I am so glad we took advantage of. An overall wonderful experience and I would recommend this company to anyone in need of a great garage door company.

Had a broken spring and couldn’t raise the garage door to get out. They had technician out within 2 hours to fix it. He was very professional and efficient.

Review №57

I had an older garage door modernized by Garage Door Experts about three years ago. I was asking for a new door quote but the tech suggested that I consider updating my current door which is an older solid wood door, the results were amazing. I had an issue with the door recently because of water damage to the bottom panel and felt I would have to completely replace. Keith arrived and proceeded to work his magic on the repairs and saved me for probably quite a while longer before complete door replacement...the cost was extremely reasonable for the time and effort spent....I will never go anywhere else for my garage door needs. Thank you Keith and Garage Door Experts for your top notch skill and customer service 👍👍👍

I’d packed my car one afternoon with PPE for some of my physician practices, intending to deliver it in the morning on my way to the office. My garage door had other plans. Neighbors helped me try to get the door open. No go. One very generous neighbor loaned me his car; we moved the supplies to his car and off I went. Neighbors also recommended Garage Door Experts, right here in Lebanon. (I love to support local businesses.) So in the middle of this pandemic, I called them. They came out that afternoon! The technician was so polite and helpful. I upgraded to dual springs and had the wheels replaced. Not only does the door work again but it is SO MUCH quieter. I was so grateful for their quick response, the information the tech shared with me about how best to maintain my door and the great value. What a bright spot in a crazy time! My car and I were free again to help keep patients and physician practice teams safe. I’m very grateful to have such a great local business to call upon when needed! This grateful nurse thanks you!

I had my garage door, and opener replaced. Installers were friendly, on time, and cleaned up the area. The removal and installation process took less than 2 hours and so far so good. The door looks great and the opener is the quietest I have ever had. All-in the cost was $1500. Well worth the price. The process from estimate to install took less than a week.

Our entire experience with Garage Door Experts of Cincinnati was great. Communication was easy, prompt and timely. Scheduling was easy and available service times were great. Keith was our service technician and he was also great. He text us ahead of our appointment time to let us know that he is on his way. He arrived on time, work quickly and was very tidy in getting the job done. Very polite, pleasant, and did not try to push add-ons or additional services that were not needed. We are extremely happy with Garage Door Experts of Cincinnati and have already recommended their services to family and friends.

Keith and Mike from Garage Door Experts were prompt, courteous, delivered on the promises that they made and went above my expectations. Keith replaced the torsion springs, cables and pullies on one of the doors and Mike installed 2 openers and a 9x 7 new garage door. We are happy to say that it is much easier to push a button rather than manually picking up the garage door to open it. Aaahhh, life is good thanks to Garage Door Experts Lebanon, Ohio. I highly recommend them for any garage door repair or replacement.

Review №79

Save your time and money and just call PDQ. I hired Garage Door Experts after receiving their quote and recommendations on two doors. One they said just needed mechanical rollers and springs, the other was an entire new door and tracks. It was less than a couple hours that I received a call that they couldnt even get one door down and didnt have the proper equipment. I had to leave work and get my forklift to help them. Then once the work was done they said I needed a new opener. This was after the technician said at the time of the estimate that that opener is fine and all we need to do is these things and I promise your door will be fixed. After having my shop completely open for many days they come and installed the opener and then they cant get the door to work. Its the first time Ive ever had a company send me a text, no phone call and say basically they give up, they dont want to mess with it anymore (now that I cant open or close my garage door) and they are done. I called PDQ and within 20 minutes the guy was able to open and close the door and said that they had the wrong size springs installed for the opener. They order the springs and 3 days later the door works perfect. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a professional garage door company.

Dealing with them was exceptional. From my answered call at 8:30 at night, to scheduling my appointment at 8 the next morning, to Joel showing up right on time, the customer service was the way all companies should strive for. After leaving messages at several of the big names with no callback, I easily went with their proposal.Joel did exceptional work, detailed and precise. He was eager to do the job, and obviously his parents did their job well. He was polite, respectful, and answered any questions I had.From start to finish I was highly impressed. Working in the service industry, i have come to expect fairly poor customer service anymore. Nice to see it is still out there. Will recommend to my neighbors and friends with confidence!

Review №91

A great company with great service! Everyone I have interacted with has been pleasant: Amanda, Keith, and Joel. They installed a new opener, rollers, and some trim around my garage about a year ago. I called two other companies in the area before and they both immediately said I needed a new opener after coming out. Garage Door Experts first came out, and first tried to fix what I had (goal was to have me spend less money). Eventually, I decided to go ahead and have them replace it for personal reasons (current one was ~ 20 years old and I didnt want to mess with patching it anymore). I didnt see this as a scam to get me to pay more; it seemed to be genuine care for their customers and my final price paid was lower than the other two quotes I received. Keith and Joel were late for the appointment, but considering other experiences I have had with garage door service this was great (had to wait 8 hours for another company before). If you dont want them to be late, try to schedule your appointment for the first thing in the morning. Keith and Joel quickly and professionally installed everything, cleaned up after themselves, and were quite kind in their conversations with me. You can tell they are very knowledgeable and their work has stood the test of time over this past year. Couldnt be happier with this service and will call them again should I need help with my garage.

This place is fantastic. They were able to come out the same day I called, quickly assessed the situation, and were equipped to do the repairs right away.

We highly recommend this garage door service. Our technician was knowledgeable about options, features, and costs. He was honest about what did and did not need replacing. The quality is excellent and these insulated doors make a notable difference in our garages temperature. The price was reasonable and the service was efficient. There was even follow up to ensure our satisfaction. What a great company to work with and a great product!
