The "service" rep even forges your authorization signature on his iPad. The old owner handed over all customer credit card information to the new owner, so the new owners will charge your credit card even if you don't provide them credit card info and even if you decline to purchase (assuming you've used Thomas Giel in the past). New ownership is a firm called Gridiron Capital / GarageCo from the New York area. Not a Pittsburgh company. Candice Giel kept a small minority of the business, she does not control it. Services

Unfortunately at that time we weren't ready to move forward with the project. Fast forward to now. I had reached back out, Mike had double checked the measurements and provided and updated quote. We had the door ordered and once it arrived we had the installation scheduled. The installation team was great they communicated their estimated arrival and did a thorough job installing the new door. They also walked through features of the opener and how to sync to the keypad.

I also needed some help getting a new wind stop/chain installed on a swinging screen door in the basement. They were the only service I reached out to who asked for specific details about the jobs before providing a quote, which is a great way to do business. They also provided a real time of expected arrival instead of something like a four-hour window taking up your entire day. They arrived a little before the time quoted with two people - one the main handyman and one being trained. They did a prompt and excellent job and the cost was very fair. I almost don't want to tell everyone how good they are because then they'll become too busy, ha! They truly deserve your business.

Vohidjon was my initial contact. We exchanged information, photos and scheduled the work via phone…read more His English is good. At the last minute, he informed me that his brother was coming. However, he did not speak any English. How disappointing! I probably should have stopped there, but I didn't and I regretted it. It was too hard to communicate even the most simple words. We had to use a translator app which takes away from the time I'm paying for. I believe if you're going to charge $50 an hour, and the state minimum is $7.50, you should speak English. If you don't, you need someone with you that does. I had a series of tasks and every conversation required the app. The performance was excellent for some tasks and others were a bit disappointing. I was trying to patch some holes in the wall in the paint did not match exactly. He painted all the holes instead of just doing a small part and getting my approval before moving forward. Maybe we lost something in translation there. Now I have uneven colors and I'll have to cover with a painting. I'm giving it 3 stars because I feel that announcing that the worker does not speak English should be business practice for transparency. A paying customer deserves that. I paid them in full and made my comments known. If you only have one task, perhaps a translation app is okay. In my case, we had several and the constant need to record and play made it for a long afternoon.

I'm updating my review to reply to the truly bizarre response I just received from the owner. There…read morewas no place in my review where I stated that I expected you to "drop everything" or to "risk everything" in order to complete the job. In fact, in my review I stated that all I asked for was the curtesy to let me know you'd decided you were no longer interested in the job. I left a voicemail, asking if you'd decided not to do it. It would not have required you to drop anything to take less than 30 seconds to reply to the text I had sent with the photos and say you were no longer interested. That would have demonstrated a level of professionalism and common courtesy that should be a cornerstone of your business. Instead, you decide to respond to this review three years later with a passive-aggressive reply that only serves to make you look incredibly unprofessional. No part of my review was unreasonable, and the resolution that I said I hoped for was completely fair. Sending a text message would not have endangered your life or your health, but it would have gone a long way to showing that you're a decent person who cares about doing right by people, even when you aren't going to take the job.

He also called the day of the appointment to say they were on their way, and showed up on time. Chris and Lee both wore masks, as well as booties over their shoes. They installed a door handle and deadbolt to replace an outdated set, which of course was a size they don't make anymore, and the door was metal They drilled the hole out, taking care to put down a mat to catch the debris. They also vacuumed up afterward. Price was very reasonable, and when they say no job too small, they mean it. I would definitely call them again. Nice guys, too.
