I had a garage spring break. I had my original garage door installer replace the springs. Days later, I noticed the garage wasn't closing smoothly and would make a big thud at the end. The original installer checked it out and said everything was fine and to wait a week before calling them again. I did not feel like waiting a week so I got in touch with Dave from Garage Door Basics. Just over the phone, he could diagnose the problem. He was able to squeeze me in between his appointments on a full day. He was not going to leave until I was fully satisfied. After adjusting the tension on the springs, the garage door now closes with barely a sound. I now have a go-to place for all my garage needs. Thanks, Dave! I hope I don't have to bug you for awhile, but if/when I do I know it will be a great experience. read more

We were concerned about our older garage door eventually breaking and rusty springs snapping. We called for a maintenance checkup just to be sure everything was ok. Dave promptly contacted us and made an appointment with us to check our door. We decided to have him install new springs and do an overall check up. We were very happy with his work and highly recommend Dave and his company. read more

I called Dave last night to see if he can fix my garage door side cable coming off the wheel. He showed up the next afternoon and quickly noticed it was a broken high tension spring which caused to cable to come off the wheel. He gave me a reasonable quote to replace both springs and side cables. David worked efficiently and took great care in his work. I highly recommend David to get any old garage doors working like new again. Plus, David is just a Great Hard Working Guy. read more

Garage Door Basics was the only company that I contacted about my garage door sagging and buckling that didn't immediately say "well sounds like you need a new garage door". David answered my call and asked to see the issue. I emailed him videos of the door opening/closing. He diagnosed the issue virtually and scheduled a day to come repair. He came prepared with everything needed to fix the door and repair took under 30 minutes. read more

As I was pulling my car out of my garage something hit loudly on the roof. Come to find out that my garage door had decided to close while I was halfway out. I managed to get the door open again to get the car out, but the door itself would only close halfway. It was late in the day on a Friday and thought I was going to have to wait until Monday. I remembered commercial I saw about a repair place, but the reviews they got were dismal. Garage Door Basics popped up in my search and the reviews were stellar. I called and David said he could fit me in on the next day! Wasn't expecting that! David came and explained it wasn't going to need significant repairs. Music to my ears! I was expecting a slick repair guy to say that it all needed replacing. David was friendly, honest and worked quickly. Afterwards, he explained everything he did and answered all of my questions. I would and will be calling Garage Door Basics should anything else needs servicing. Thank you Dave! read more

My garage door spring broke and I needed to get to an appointment. Called garage door basics and within 1/2 hour Dave was here and after 45 minutes my door was fixed and I was able to get on my way. Dave was personable and professional. Would highly recommend their service. read more

We engaged GDB remotely to install a garage door opener as a gift for my brother-in-law. The process could not have been smoother! I sent an email with an explanation of what we wanted and pictures of the garage to a couple of people I found on the internet and to a few on Angi's list. The Angi's list entries all seemed to go to the same person, who sent solicitations for business without answering my questions. I also got deluged with Angi's list offers for other repairs. In the midst of that mess, there was a single clear to-the-point response from GDB. We had a short productive call then alerted my brother-in-law that GDB would call him. Within 3 days, the job had been done. My brother-in-law is delighted by the system and the courtesy and personality of the installer (who was the gentleman with whom I spoke). A friend (reasonably) advised that I was crazy to try this idea as I would be mired in difficulties, but I am thrilled by the result! read more

I had been procrastinating for years to get my dead garage door opener fixed. I had seen GDB on my local Facebook for several years and decided to finally call them. Dave gave me options and a quote right away. Within a few days, he was at the house, removing the old opener, installing the new one and had it done so quickly. He helped me set-up my phone, my car controls and wireless keypad. No surprise fees; I paid what he quoted me. Super friendly, professional and everything was seamless. I should have done that years ago! read more

The part that was needed to fix my garage door was back ordered. Dave provided me with frequent updates on the status of my order.

Dave was our knight in shining armor after installing our new garage door motor. We'd been opening it by hand for two weeks before finally reaching out to get it resolved.

I called Garage Door Basics to replace a broken garage door keypad. I took a picture of the keypad and garage door motor and sent it to Dave. Dave gave me the option of purchasing the keypad myself which I did and he gave me the price for installation which was very reasonable. I texted him on a Sunday and asked him if he could install it on Monday. He texted me right back and said he would make the time to install it for me. I was sent an appointment time by text and Dave showed up as scheduled. It was 7:00 PM and I asked him how long he usually works during the day. His answer, "Until I finish all of my jobs". Dave was very responsive, professional and did a great job! How refreshing to have a company deliver on its promises! read more

It never fails.... You need to go somewhere and your garage door won't work. I was very happy at how fast David was able to respond to my call; he got there that same day in the afternoon. He was very pleasant to work with, seemed very knowledgeable, and did a good job. I was also happy to learn he is a fire fighter, as we know they don't get paid very much, yet give their all for us. Happy to give him my business, and while he was there at our townhome complex, another person needed his services, and he also helped them out. I would definitely use David Lee again. read more

Dave was able to come same day to take care of some issues of the garage door. He was knowledgeable, did extra work and did what was needed. Great follow up also. Will recommend him for future jobs! read more

I called 3 garage repair companies. Garage Door Basics was the only company that insisted on coming out and looking at my crippled garage door in addition to quoting me an estimate over the phone. David was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and quoted me a price after examining my door and later emailed the quote. On installation day, he did exactly what he estimated he needed to do and the price never changed. The double door now works better and quieter than it ever did. I could not be happier. read more

I contacted garage door basics by phone and Dave asked me to take some picture of the broken door spring. He responded quickly and provided a reasonable price. The next day he came even earlier than the scheduled time and replaced the broken spring in no time. He also taught me how to lubricate the parts and how to check the door for maintenance. He is very nice and patient with all my questions. I would highly recommend Dave and Garage Door Basics to anyone with garage repair needs. read more

John and his team are absolutely amazing. My family has already worked with them twice now and we honestly wouldn't trust anyone else. Both times they've responded very quickly and helped us resolve our issues within 24 hours. I highly, highly recommend them!! read more

We have been living with a jumpy and unreliable garage door since we bought this house. I have made a few attempts to get this resolved , but most places I contacted either never got back to me or immediately tried to sell me something without ever coming to the house. Thankfully, we found Dave with Garage Door Basics. A COMPLETELY different experience!!! Dave had me on his calendar for the next day (called on Thursday, at the house on Friday); very responsive. When he arrived, I gave him the run down of the issue, he tested a few things and within minutes had the problem and the solution dialed in. Apart from the obvious of having our garage door fixed, the thing that I appreciated the most was that he took the time to explain what the issue was. He didn't upsell me or jump straight to the most expansive fix. His rates are more than fair and my only regret is that we didn't call him sooner! Thanks again Garage Door Basics, Dave in particular. read more

We needed to replace a broken torsion spring on our garage door so we did some research and solicited three bids. Garage Door Basics was very competitive and they are a local business so we decided to go with them. We were very pleased with everything about the service provided. John contacted us very promptly and had a technician (Johnny) at our home the very next day which was a Sunday and he was right on time. We were impressed by the professionalism we encountered and Technician Johnny even fixed an unrelated garage door problem for us at no additional charge (and it was a real problem that I couldn't figure out). 'Really exemplary service and we can recommend them without hesitation. GDB is doing good work and they are worth considering for your garage door needs. Robert S., La Crescenta PS; I'm not sure how Yelp determined that I live in San Francisco but I live here in La Crescenta. read more

David was awesome, on time, knowledgeable and efficient, the best!!! My garage is new now!!!

I can honestly say Garage Door Basics and David Lee, technician, far exceeded my expectations. Over the past 37 yrs I've have worked with several companies whom provided mediocre service and last two so called technicians couldn't fix problem after several visits. However Mr. Lee was able to diagnose issue with our garage door opener within a few minutes! Mr.Lee provided several options to resolve problem with opener and we never felt pressured by him. Lastly Mr. Lee is professional, courteous and on time. Doing business with Garage Door Basics was a pleasure and I will recommend GDB to all my friends and neighbors! read more
