Dave was great to work with. I could not ask for more. He replaced the broken springs on the garage door, checked and double checked everything and added garage door lubricant where needed. He works quickly and takes the time to explain the proper operation. He even took off his shoes when passing through the living room to enter the garage. Respectable and considerate. Will definitely use Garage Door Basics again. read more

Excellent communication and service. Would look no further if I ever need my garage door fixed.

Dave from Garage Door Basics came to the rescue the day after Thanksgiving. My parents were supposed to come over and spend time with us and my sister's family visiting from SF. We had the perfect night planned. Only to hear from my parents that they wouldn't be coming over because their garage door was stuck. My dad hit the garage door and caused the frame of the garage to bend. It looked like a mess. I went with the top listing on Yelp with all 5 star reviews. I inquired about emergency services, and they were one of the only companies to answer me, stating they were finishing up their last job of the day. They saved the day. They were at my parents' house within the hr. The technician fixed the issue within 20 minutes and my parents were over right away, so thankfully we were able to spend family time together and our parents were able to see their 3 grandchildren they only see once a year. My parents also kept talking about how awesome, knowledgeable, fair-priced, and efficient the repair technician was. This truly would not have happened without this amazing company. Thank you so much! read more

Excellent communication and very honest and reliable. My garage door was not working right and the first company I called went by multiple names and said I had to replace my springs and everything. Dave came and explained everything really well and serviced my door for a fair price. And he totally came on time too. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing Service! I called at 4pm on a Friday and they offered to come out the same day to repair our garage door. Dave, is very knowledgeable and explained what needed to be done and why.

Our garage door broke yesterday. I gave Dave a call. He responded promptly, and after I sent him pictures, he made diagnosis and came to fix it today. He gave arrival window and was on time. He was very knowledgeable and gave me tips on maintaining it in proper condition. Love to work with companies that are prompt and trustworthy. Will recommend to all my friends. read more

This is long overdue - my apologies! Dave was fantastic, efficient and communicated clearly about needs. No overselling. Checked his stock to see if he could fix the garage door at the same time he came to check it out and give us a quote. Didn't have the parts in the truck that day, but came the next and it was done! Garage door hasn't been so smooth in years! read more

The spring on my garage door broke on Christmas day and today I called to see of someone could come fix it. Dave already had a full day but he came by at 7:30pm to fix my door! I felt bad that he was coming so late but he assured me it was not a problem. He fixed my door quickly and efficiently! Then he showed me what I should be checking every year. Who knew! But now I do thanks to Dave. Always lovely to find lovely people who do a fantastic job! Definitely have my garage door people now! Thanks Dave!! read more

Excellent service. Dave's text response was quick and included a video so I could determine if I really had a garage door opener problem or it was something I could fix. He was out the same day and fixed the problem, while explaining what he was doing, and suggested maintenance tips for keeping the door opener in good working order. read more

I wanted a local and established garage door reoair company and hit the jackpot with these guys and "Dave" ( who was cited many times in tbe Yelp reviews ). Our door had a broken main spring. I called Dave in tbe afternoon and he came by at 6 30 that evening and installed a new spring read more

Called this morning and they were out this afternoon! Gave us a quote over the phone, which ended up costing less in the end.

Dave is very professional, knowledgeable and passionate about his work. My garage door has never been quiet, now it opens and closes smoothly. I called Dave when my garage door started making horrendous metal crunching sound. He was able to come out the same day and identified a broken spring which he fixed the same day. He also applied an extra bracket to reinforce the broken panel on the door the very next day. He was efficient, kind and even explained how to check for maintenance if needed. I never thought garage doors could be so fascinating. Price seemed reasonable and Dave broke it down, provided email receipt of charges. Highly recommend calling Dave for your garage door problems. read more

My garage broke!.. Immediately, I go to YELP and start searching for any reputable garage company, and noticed that everyone had mediocre reviews and ratings...until I ran across Garage Door Basics. Called Dave and John, and they quoted me within the next hour, giving me ETA as they were in transit. They got here, diagnosed the issue, and fixed the problem. Pricing was very competitive. If you want someone who is going to be there on time, do the job, and looking for honesty, give them a call. Try them out, you wont need to look any further. read more

David is the best. I've had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions and will continue to recommend him highly. He is knowledgeable, reliable and most importantly he is a really great person. Look no further, call this man, he'll take care of you. read more

Dave was amazing. He came to my house immediately and fixed the problem right away. I would recommend them highly.

Dave is the man! Our garage door appeared unbalanced and was making an increasingly loud banging noise every time we opened it. Then it started "jumping" and rattling. NOT GOOD. Wondering if the cables needed to be adjusted, I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole and realized I should get a pro to take a look before attempting to mess with it. Also, I wanted to address the issue before the door or motor completely broke/got stuck, creating a bigger headache and more expensive repair. I put out feelers on Yelp and Dave was one of the first to reply. After a quick cruise through previous reviews, I gave him a call. This was on a Friday afternoon, so I expected voicemail but he answered. He was in the middle of a job and politely asked if he could call me back, which he did in good time. Dave attentively listened to my little Tale of Woe and said he'd need to take a closer look himself. Honestly, since this was an assessment/maintenance call not a "Help! It's an emergency: my car is trapped inside my broken garage!!", I was worried it wasn't worth his time. But Dave came by on Monday after his scheduled jobs, as promised. He listened to our concerns and quickly pointed out that our cables had gotten twisted over time, putting strain on the door and opener. He suggested some basic maintenance and voluntarily readjusted the sensors while we were talking. He was happy to schedule another visit to do the work but also said he had everything in his truck to take care of it right away. In less than 30 mins Dave replaced the cables, tightened the chain of the opener and properly lubed all the rollers, joints and spring. He walked us through everything, shared some pointers for basic maintenance and asked if we had any further questions or concerns. All in all, Dave was courteous, knowledgeable, efficient and generally a nice guy. No pressure, no up sell - just excellent service and peace of mind. Hopefully, I never find myself in that "Help! It's an emergency: my car is trapped inside my broken garage!!" scenario, but if I did, I'd give these guys a call. read more

We needed a new garage door opener. Dave from Garage Door Basics responded quickly to our request for help. He showed up on time and had the model opener our research had us wanting. He balanced our door and installed the new opener. He communicated well, was efficient and clean. The unit is working perfectly. Thank you, Dave! read more

Fast and professional! Dave answered my call right away and was able to come out same-day despite already having other repairs lined up. He fixed the lift cables on our garage door which had become strained over time and finally came loose off their pulleys. He was very communicative and gave me updates through the day regarding his ETA. In addition he adjusted our springs and lubricated all the moving parts. Price was fair given the immediate service. All in all highly satisfied and will not hesitate to call again for any future repairs! read more

I researched many repair companies because the roller on my garage was off track. Dave was one of the few technicians that did not charge a fee to come out for inspection. The day he was scheduled to arrive, the retainer and the rubber seal on the bottom of my garage fell off completely so I ended up needing a replacement. He came two days later with the new parts and installed it very quickly. Dave even helped with changing the PIN number for my garage and replaced the light bulbs on the box which was really helpful. It's reassuring to know there's a local company that provides quality service. Will definitely use them again in the future for any garage repair needs. read more

My garage door was having a problem opening and closing in its own (especially when I wasn't at home!). I contacted Garage Door Basics and from the first call, they were fantastic.

Unfortunately had a torsion spring break so I found Garage Door Basics via yelp and based on the other reviews, decided to give them a call. Explained the situation and Dave requested some pics of the spring and my garage door to get me an accurate estimate and time frame of the repair. Part was out of stock but Dave promised to get back to me once the part was in. Couple days later, Dave kept his promise and texted to set up an appointment. Texted the day of the appointment, arrived on time and finished the repair without any hiccups. Highly recommend Garage Door Basics/Dave as he was very communicative, helpful and friendly! read more

Dave has been amazing to work with! Being a first time homeowner, I had assumed that my entire garage door needed to be replaced as it was not opening and left dented in various parts. Dave came out and upon inspection, shared that though the door wasn't in the prettiest condition, it had plenty of life left in it if I had just two parts replaced. I was SO relieved to hear this. He was super responsive to all my texts and showed up promptly for both the inspection and repair. He did not try to sell any unneeded services and was totally honest. I would totally recommend Dave and Garage Basics to anyone who is looking for help with their garage. read more

We called Garage Door Basics to replace our old motor. They were responsive and very accommodating for our schedule. I was in contact with Dave who was both prompt with responding to our questions and when it came time to actually replacing the garage motor. Fast service and he took the time to walk me through the set-up our app/account (since we upgraded to a motor with more technology). Would definitely recommend! read more

Called for an inspection, since my garage door motor was not opening the door. Dave responded within 30 minutes and said he would look at the issue the same day. He diagnosed the problem, my motor was not working properly (at least 12 years old and the original from when we purchased the house). Even though Dave was booked for the rest of that day, one of his appointments was delayed and he returned to install a new motor and hardware that afternoon in a few hours. In addition, he texted about his arrival the whole time, so I was always aware of his arrival. The installation was very professional and Dave explained everything. Amazing how quiet the new belt driven motor operated compared to the previous one. Dave even returned the next day when I bumped one of the sensors and the door wouldn't close. He did this between all his jobs that day and fixed it in a few minutes. I would recommend Dave of Garage Door Basics to everyone. He is prompt, professional and courteous. The quality and value of the service, installation and materials are excellent. read more

Don't even think of going to anyone else for garage door issues From my first phone call until the job was complete this was one of the most pleasant customer service experiences I've ever had. Dave diagnosed the issue from my description of what was and was not working. We set an appointment date which he confirmed the day before. He texted about 30 minutes prior to arrival that he was completing his prior job and was on his way. When he arrived we again confirmed that the motor had died ( 30+ years is not bad for a garage door opener ). Dave had everything he needed and went right to work. Once installed and after answering my numerous questions we did a joint inspection of all operations. We found that the unit was not responding to signals more than 10 - 15 feet away. After unsuccessfully troubleshooting for a bit Dave decided to just put in a new unit. All went seamlessly. After a thorough checkout and making sure I had no further questions Dave was on his way. Knowledgeable,friendly, timely - Dave could teach numerous companies the value of communication and customer service. read more

I've used this company several times. Prompt help. Really updates you when they are coming. Keeps your information and helps you as soon as they can. They came and assessed and adjusted a problem after a roof repair and didn't charge me knowing that my motor was old and I'd probably call them again and about 8 months later I did need to replace my system. Of course I called them. They came back to help me with another issue and didn't charge. I would use them in a heartbeat again. My new garage door works like a dream and is so updated. Thank-you Dave. read more

Using Dave at Garage Door Basics was a great experience. He was the first person to respond and made an appointment to look at the door the next day.

Also gave a full explanation or how things work, what to expect and how to avoid problems. I'll definitely be using Dave and company again if I have further needs. read more
