Last week, the spring on my garage door broke. I had no idea where to get parts and I was worried that it would cost me an arm and a leg to have someone come out and repair it. As I was driving down Route 8, I saw a sign for David P. Giel Garage Doors and gave them a call. Since it was Sunday, I got the answering machine, but I left a message. My call was returned that day! David came out Monday morning (the next day) to repair the door. He replaced both springs (not just the broken one) and adjusted and lubricated *both* garage doors to make sure they were both working properly. I was very pleased with the cost, too. It was a lot less than I had expected . This is who I'll be calling when it's time to replace the doors! read more

We had our garage door opener replaced this summer, and couldn't be happier with it. Our old opener struggled to lift the door, and would not recognize the remote signal until you were practically in the garage. They guided us through which models/features/warranties would best suit our specific application and needs. Installation was quick and professional, including a follow-up visit under warranty when one of the cameras had a wiring short. They came out quickly once made aware of the issue, troubleshot and resolved within 15 minutes. Techs are knowledgeable and courteous, we always highly recommend their services! read more

Arrived next day after calling. Was right on time, and efficiently fixed the issue. Will use again and recommend.

This is the epitome of a local, family owned company. They were very responsive, did what they said they would do, worked with me and answered a ton of questions, and were the best price. I have nothing bad to say about them from Dave the owner, Spencer and Vinnie the installers, and Joyce the manager. I would recommend them to anyone needing repair or replacement of their garage door. read more

Buyer Beware: If you're getting a garage door, do not recommend David Giel. Installed a header below a header. Meaning they left the 102yo wood from the original door up and measured from there. Meaning a much smaller entrance than the actual door. ------------------------------------ During the estimate Dave was a nice, friendly older guy. I felt good about going w an independent contractor, mom and pop type company opposed to a Home Depot or lowes expecting better quality of service. Waited around three months for special order to come in. I was told 9/930 arrival for install. it was around 1030 when my dog started barking bc she heard the crew (not Dave) in my garage. they did not knock or make their presence known. i go out to speak w them and im informed Dave, nor his nephew are here. I offer the crew coffee and go about my day. I was asked shortly after to check the framing. At this time I told them I ordered them pizza for lunch but questioned why the original header wasnt removed yet. i was told "these are the measurements, that's what you ordered". i clarify about the rotted wood and question why it's left up. **I'm not a garage door contractor, if you take the measurements during the estimate I'm going by your word since you're the person with the license/certification/experience, who I'm paying to do the install. The owner, Dave, who assured me he was the one that would be installing the garage door when the estimate was given was not on premises. This now began phone tag. After multiple tries he eventually called back, resulting in us yelling at each other over the phone about expectation vs reality. He comes to my house, and the back and forth begins again. We can do this, or this. However neither of these options are fixing the problem at hand. (please note, when someone says "we're not going to use any of this wood, we'll replace it all". to me, that means, ALL WOOD is to be replaced, considering the original garage door is from 1920 and that's why I'm getting a new one.) One of the workers continues to yell over me and the owner, begins cursing, slams the truck doors and walks away. At that point I told them I wanted them gone. I stopped responding, walked inside and didn't communicate any further. I gave Dave $2340, told him to leave the keys in the mailbox and leave. (I was estimated at $2335). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: At the advice of an attorney I communicated with them via text and email only to ensure no other "miscommunications" were made. After multiple clarifications on what I wanted they came back the following week and finished what was left so that it's now weatherproof. In the end, what I got looks fine, but it isn't what I asked/paid for. He stated "we gave you a better quality of lumber so that you don't have to paint it". I understand that it was well-intended but it wasn't approved by me, or even ran by me before installation. "We left room above in case you wanted a motor in the future". I'm not getting a motor installed, so why change measurements/make space if that's not what I asked for? Run it by me first and see if that's what I want. People have an overall concept when renovating the aestetics of their home. These miscommunications is why the end result is different than the intended image. ***The quality of what they installed is good, no complaints there. The door itself, although not the size I imagined, seems to be of quality construct. read more

Overcharged. Have used them several times but I will not use them again. Overcharged by at least 150 dollars. Not very nice to take advantage of older people read more

I've needed service a few times since moving here & noticed their building along Rt8 a few miles south of where I live so I had no other experience with such companies. I've not had any regrets. Nothing major has gone wrong with my garage, but the small things I needed done have been addressed promptly & properly. I've been able to get same-day service the few times I've called & the service call cost seemed reasonable. If I ever have what seems like a bigger issue or need a replacement opening mechanism, I'll just use Dave Giel without even bothering to get other estimates. read more

AWESOME customer service! I am never calling another Giel again. After having Thomas Giel advise that I needed new springs an additional $700 after having them repair and adjust the garage doors only a month before, at the cost of $3,300.00. David fixed the problem by adding weights and bumpers for $200. Something that Thomas Giel should have done from the beginning. read more

Not a customer but wouldn't considering me and my wife and 2 small children (3 & 6) yrs old were taking a walk on our street and one of their drivers almost hit me... I yelled as he passed by and told him "give us the right of way and space on the road" . He stopped the truck and started arguing and said he doesn't like being talked to that way... I said I have 2 small children you shouldn't drive that close to us you have space on the other side... He puts the truck in park like he was about to get out... I stopped and told my kids to back up... Then we kept walking. My wife said call the store and the woman in the passenger said call whoever... Here the guy driving is David P Giel ... The owner!! Date was 10/07/2015. read more

I hardly ever write review of companies, unless they do an exceptional job. David Giel is prompt, friendly and efficient. He won't over charge you and he'll fix whatever the problem is that you have. I called them this morning when I was suck in my house, because my garage door wiring broke and he was out within a few hours and fixed it within 30 minutes. He's been out for us on a few occasions and I've always been happy working with him. I trust him to be honest and to do quality work - even with not so quality garage doors. When it's time for us to replace our doors, which will be soon, we will definitely been hiring his company. read more

If you reside in the Shaler area, do not hesitate to phone Dave for an estimate--you will be pleased. read more

I phoned this business earlier today and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. Fortunately an opening occurred in their schedule and the two gentlemen showed up a couple of hours later. The guys fixed the garage door, repaired the automatic opener feature, which has been out of operation for years, and were done in less than thirty minutes. I am so pleased with their service, how pleasant all of them are, and the price was unbelievably reasonable. read more
