JIM and his company are just THE BEST! Don't hesitate. Call them now! I found Jim after another company I spoke to highly recommended him. No wonder why he and the company have so many amazing reviews. Just one after the other. I was scammed by TWO local garage companies who made the problem I was having with my garage door worse. Plus, they told me my garage opener was in disrepair and entirely broken which, to this somewhat savvy mom, did not quite add up. The opener was functioning before the first company showed up. I don't know much about garage doors, but something told me they were lying. Jim set it straight from the start-no nonsense. Just pleasant, funny, can-do. What a relief! After having back to back terrible experiences with two well-known large companies, especially during the holidays, I resigned to not using my garage door at all because I did not want to deal with another shady company lying. Jim, was the opposite: so kind, even teaching my son some tricks of the trade and just so pleasant to talk to. It's really nice to know there are still good, ethical companies and professionals around. Thank you. read more

Very impress with the service. On time, fast, and reasonably priced. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks!

James was GREAT....My garage door now opens....he put Vaseline in the track.....in the future, I will have to replace the entire garage door opener...but he suggested to go with this for now!! His service call was great......and the value was the best. I already recommend him to a friend. Thank you so much Jimmy. read more

I highly recommend this company. Jim was great! The service was great, quick, easy and very responsive. He didn't try to upsell me all kinds of bs like other companies, he just got straight to the point and got to work. I asked for a broken spring to be replaced and that's exactly what he did. Didn't waste my time of his time with all the nonsense I didn't need. read more

This Company is A++ They are the only garage door repair I'll even consider. I've used him twice and he was fast, efficient and his pricing is more than reasonable. You can tell he cares about his customers, he even came out on a Saturday which he didn't have to do. read more

I had a great experience! Our garage door panel was cracked, they fixed it in less than 30 minutes and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them! read more

I had them come again today to replace a motor. Hector is great! Efficient, polite, and explained what he installed thoroughly. I know if we have any issues that we can rely on them. He oiled up the door while he was there just to be helpful. He and Jim are great. Highly recommend. read more

I can't say enough nice things about working with Jim! When we first messaged he gave some tips on a few possible issues from the get go that we could look into before having someone come out. We had another company come out who tried convincing us we needed to have the springs replaced. When I asked Jim his cost for that to compare, he was confident we didn't really need that, and offered to come out and take a look. Turns out he is one of our neighbors, which is awesome, and he was able to solve the issue in under 5 minutes with a few sprays of 3in1 that we hadn't thought to address. He saved us hundreds of dollars and was so pleasant! Would highly recommend his services for any door/garage door needs. read more

Contacted GDM for my garage door limit switch. Though Jim was swamped he managed to get out to inspect and verify that it was the limit switch. Did not have the part on hand but was able to get it and have it repaired within a day after inspection. Very reasonably priced. His honesty and value are much appreciated. Thank you Jim for taking some stress out of my life! read more

Wow. My garage door opener stripped out... I bought a new opener from Home Depot and was going to have their contractor replace it. I thought about having my springs replaced at the same time and the Home Depot Company quoted me $750 just for the springs only. I thought that was expensive so I looked and found The Garage Door Man in Escondido. I called him and got a price for $395 (for the springs - $350 less). He came over and installed the springs, and found the "Trolley" mechanism was stripped out and I didn't need a new opener. So he's going to replace the Trolley and I'm taking back the opener to Home Depot and getting my money back. So The Garage Door Man just saved me $418 for the new opener / $200 labor for the other company to install it / and $350 for the price difference of the springs. Holy crap he saved me $968.00. I can't believe it. I'm totally stoked. Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!! If I could give 10 stars, I would. read more

When a second garage door opener went out, I knew exactly who to call.."Garage DoorMan" of course... I have used their services in the past (see prior review) and they were awesome... I contacted them on a Sunday, not expecting a reply until Monday, but actually got a response later in the day on Sunday.... Scheduling was simple, and they just finished replacing my single garage door opener... Hector and Anthony were punctual, professional, extremely knowledgeable and had my garage door opener installed, new (and old) remotes programmed, and even updated my "MyQ" app with the new device in no time..

When your garage door mechanical lift fails & won't open the door you are in a "Oh my!" condition. Called GDM on a Saturday afternoon, left a voicemail and Jim returned the call Sunday morning. The next day he was on-time to diagnose the problem, which he did in 15 seconds. Set a repair appointment for the next day and his tech was there as scheduled. The new belt track replacement was done in 30 minutes. He also fine tuned the other 2 doors. It was a good price. read more

They are honest and will not try to sell you parts that you don't need, unlike other contractors that I've dealt with.

The cost to repair a bracket on my garage door was super reasonable. I ended up having a bad sensor and they installed a new one for free! Would definitely use them again for any future garage door needs. read more

Have a 30 year old sectional garage door, that was noisy, rusty and needing replacement, was able to get Jim T. on the line, met up with him. Gave me a good price and we made arrangement for the actual install date. He had a crew of 3 with him coming on time, and they were efficient. I can tell they have been working together for sometime. I was impressed at the quality of work and technical support after the install. It made my house facade so much better. Their professionalism and politeness was above and beyond. Thank you for a job well done! In my community we say BRAVO ZULU... read more

I recently purchased a home in Reno and needed maintenance on the garage door. I called the Garage Door Man and Teague showed up for the appointment. He was right on time, professional, polite, thorough and efficient. He was able to tell me what model the opener was and even followed up with a link to the manual, so that I could learn all about the model I have. He also told me what garage code opener was compatible with my model. I highly recommend Teague and the Garage Door Man! Will definitely call them the next time I need something done with the garage door! read more

We received four or so quotes from various vendors. Only Jim of Garage Door Man said our garage doors were fixable - that we didn't need to replace them. He was the only one who pointed out that one of our doors had a gap at the bottom because that door had never been installed correctly (its pins were not in the right hole). We needed to replace both garage door openers/ motors that seemed to have gotten fried in a power surge. The rails were fine but our springs were not the right ones as well so they were replaced. Jim saved us a lot of money. I appreciated his honesty and down-to-earth demeanor. We'd use Garage Door Guy again. read more

A wee bit of an accident when one of my employees back our company trailer into a client's garage. I was scrambling to get the garage door fixed immediately! I called a few companies and some of the were WAY over priced and booked out for weeks. When I called garage door man, I had the best experience! Julie was so kind and accommodating. She was able to problem solve by having one of her estimators in the area quickly stop by for a quote within the hour (she had so much grace for how desperate I was!). The bid was more than fair, competitive, and provided quickly via email. I suppose that wee bit of bad luck turned into good luck and they were able to install next day! Jim was so professional and kind. As I was on my way to the home, Jim was so courteous as to move my 89 year old client's car out of the garage for her. Awww! I am so grateful that it worked out on such short notice and with such a great company. I have most definitely added them to my preferred vendors list. Actually, they're my go-to from now on! read more

I had a problem with my garage door, another company said I needed to replace everything since the motor was weak and they estimated almost $1000 for the job. Garage Door Man took a look only at the door, mechanism and the motor and determined that only adjustment, cleaning and balancing was required. My garage door now works perfectly fine, I am happy with the service and professionalism of Garage Door Man; thank you! read more

Our garage door had failed on us last week, after calling around three different local shops in Escondido I contacted the Garage Door Man. Spoke to a wondering lady on the phone that helped diagnose the issue and decided to work with them just because of the quality provided over the phone. Install was quick and easy! Just today we were having issues with the garage again and James the owner came out and fixed the issue in no time! If you want quality, great work, at a price lower than their competitors please use Garage Door Man!!! read more

Quick response, honest service. Pleased to recommend this local business in Escondido.

I had a torsion spring break on my garage door so I looked around for a reputable repairman. Because the Garage Door Man is based out of Escondido and his reviews seemed legitimate I gave him a call. His crew showed up the next day, did the repair, and my garage door is better than ever. My checklist: They understood my issue when I called to book an appointment - check They were able to give me a quote over the phone - check Hector showed up on time - check No up-selling - check Not only was the job completed to my satisfaction, they also did a bunch of minor maintenance as well (tightening and greasing of rollers, track, and door hinges) - check Accepted my coupon - check Recommened?

The Garage Door Man is the only company I call when I have a garage related issue. Recently, my garage door stopped opening from the outside. I typically enter and exit my house from the garage door. So when it stopped working I was forced to try and enter through the dog door! Never again. Hector and Danny came out the next day and had everything working perfectly within 20 minutes. They were friendly and professional. They replaced my non working remotes and programmed the new ones. They swapped out the key bad as it was old with a weak signal. They aligned the door and lubed up all the moving parts. They worked quickly and the whole job was cheaper than a dinner for 4 at Javiers in UTC. We'll worth it! I will call them again when I run into another jam and recommend them to anyone in their service area. read more

I contacted the Garage Door Man 2 years ago to fix the garage door spring which had broken. The garage door was close to being destroyed. Jim showed up promptly, fixed the spring and tuned up the rest of the components at no extra charge. Excellent customer service at a great price. Flash forward to last week. One of the garage door sensors was misaligned and falling apart. I called Jim, mentioned I was going to order a new set of sensors and asked him to quote installation. He asked if he could swing by to take a look. Once here, he was able to re-wire the sensor, tape it back together, realign it and lubricated the main feed screw, now it all works and is quiet again. He did it at no charge. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing garage door work. Honest, reliable and professional. read more

Hector and Anthony came out today to diagnose our 25 year old squeaky, creaky garage door opener. He was honest and upfront that it didn't need replacing, just maintenance. He also showed us how to maintain annually ourselves. Price was very fair. I really appreciate their business model vs. the other guys who always scare me into thinking I need major service or even replacement. Highly recommend this company and will use them again. read more

We needed a new garage door opener to the house we just purchased. The door did not have an opener and when you tried to open the door manually the tracks were sticking badly. The guys at Garage Door Man were quick with an estimate and did a great job with all of the work. They installed new sections for the tracks and a new opener. The door works perfectly. If you need any garage door work done these are the guys I would call. Thank you for the great job. read more

Hector and his colleague were extremely professional. They were prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and recommended some DIY solutions to our problem. And they did not charge for their visit! I of course invited them to put their contact sticker on the garage door, for the next time we need them. Thank you so much for having such great employees and such a positive company culture! read more

Well, a spring broke on my garage door a day before I was supposed to go out of the country for 45 days... and my wife definitely can't lift our door! What a nightmare. Well, Jim took care of us, literally, by the next day at 11 am he had it fixed, along with an upgraded set of springs, and very reasonable prices. What more can you ask for? I had called some other guys first who asked for $85 to "diagnose" it (I had sent a picture of the broken spring), what kind of B.S.? No B.S. with Garage Door Man, he fixed it and probably saved my marriage! (I'm exaggerating, but it definitely would have been a huge shame on me to leave her with a broken garage door). Thanks Jim! read more

Good advice and professional work. They will give you options to fix/repair and do not push higher cost options. I wanted to replace our noisy 25 year old opener and they did a great job. read more
