    I have never EVER posted a review on yelp before, but I was sitting in my garage (that was built by George's) and I couldn't help but think, "I could probably have done a better job than this & I can barely use a power drill." Here's some back story, not that any of you care but if this review can save ONE person from going here, its worth it. We hired "George's Garages & Doors" back in 2019. They were super nice and seemed like they knew what they were doing. However, since pretty much the very beginning we had issues with them. They would schedule days/times to come work & then just not show up. The communication between them & us wasn't what we had hoped it'd be. Jump forward, garage finally gets finished. Its beautiful, everything we wanted. The color, the size, everything. THEN, it rains. & suddenly our BRAND NEW garage is submerged in water. I was absolutely devastated. My boyfriend put so much of his time, money, and energy into this garage, it was his baby. My boyfriend did everything himself to this garage besides the actual build & concrete aspect of it. He demoed it himself, he did all drywall, insulation, paint, electric, etc. ALL himself, with the help of some friends. Trying to shorten this story, we call George's they send people out to "fix" the leaks/foundation. This took 2-3 days, and then boom, we were told it was "fixed." However, it rained shortly thereafter and what do you know. ANOTHER flood. It's now been three years & the garage STILL leaks EVERY time it rains. I know its been a long time, but its just such a huge disappointment to walk into our garage every time it rains to puddles. Moral of my story, if you want a garage that looks immaculate from the outside but absolutely horrific foundation which gives you nothing but problems, call George's Garages & Doors!! (Yelp should really add a 0 stars button)

    DONT DO IT!!! Well , We had a garage build in August of 2017. After a complete tore down of old garage and driveway there was a different crew for getting rid of old construction to different crew pouring the concrete and another crew to finally build a garage. 33K later I was happy ... till 6 months later when my concrete started to crack and crumbled. Don't tell me it's weather related. At that time there was few projects done in my neighborhood: driveways, garages etc. none of other places have had cracks in the driveways nor crumbled surface. After all this money we have spent it hurts . . No wonder they don't give you warranty on it. It's so easy to take someone's life savings and than just turn their back on you. We were saving for a long time for this project . We wanted get rid of old garage and driveway because it was old and cracked everywhere. Now we have almost the same results. I work in customer service. Their responses were just cold and careless .Why would they care right? It's not their problem. Yes it's ours. Naive people that would hope to get the job done right after spending 33K . Shame on us. Be aware. Please read the reviews. Check every company you can . Good price doesn't mean good job done. Two stars for Brian and because garage is ok even though siding has fallen twice already. Do the research . Get the lawyer!Good luck

    Wrong color shingles

    Beware at all costs. These people are unprofessional and do not provide quality service. They will use left over material that does not match your project. THEY DO NOT INSTALL SHINGLES PROPERLY per the manufacturers specs which causes you to fall out of warranty completely due to improper instillation. The do not use galvanized nails on the roof and this leaves you susceptible to rust and further damage from the elements. The owner is a piece of work avoid making any deals verbally. Everything and anything you do should be documented as she will rip you off. BEWARE and avoid at all costs. Use Caution while communicating with Nancy as she will try to bait you into a argument. We have several points of concern nothing more than their inability to shingle a roof properly. Partial verbiage from the communications. I have more but as you can see below they are not a good company to hire. 1. The shingles installed near the lower ridge are held down with non-galvanized nails which have begun to rust. 2. The shingles on both lower ridges have begun to separate and can be easily lifted. 3. Non-galvanized nails used in the installation of roof vents are exposed with no caulk and have begun to rust. 4. The shingles are installed using a laddering or stair stepping pattern as shown below. The spacing between shingles is less than 4 inches. Inline image 1 5. There are 2 different colors of shingles used on my garage, the color I ordered was IKO Cambridge Weatherwood, there are 2 bundles of IKO Cambridge Driftwood installed and it is obvious that the color of the shingles on the roof are the not same. This is not a discoloration issue because the roof was built in January. 6. Georges Garages Brochure states a "25 years shingle life warranty", I paid for IKO Cambridge Shingles which come with a lifetime and a limited lifetime warranty. Per the warranty attached it states the following IKO's "Written Installation" are as follows. 7. Since the roofing shingles were not installed per IKO's "Written instructions" no claim I make to them will be honored. Thus you have null and voided my manufacturer warranty due to improper installation per the manufacturer. 8. The ASHI lists the following as a proper method of shingle installation. Again the installation method is the same as the manufacturer. Since the roofing shingles are installed using the Laddering or stair stepping method with less than a 4-inch spacing the roof now is more susceptible to water damage and leaking as seen here. 9. There are many shingles that have not adhered to one another and whose corners are lifting due to severe weather. IKO notes that this is common and that if the adhesive strip is damaged during cold weather installation the shingle may never adhere to one another. Inline image 5

    I have a side wall mount garage door opener and recently it came off the shaft. I tried tightening…read morethe collar myself and after maybe 10 times of opening and closing the garage, it would come loose. I had several companies that came out, one just told me he would get back to me and never did. And the other guy just came and didn't even look at closely and just told me it would cost $1800 to replace the garage door opener. US Overhead asked me what the issue was and asked me to send them pics and then came out the next day and was able to fix it in less than an hour. And the price was very reasonable. Saved me a ton of money trying to get some other company to do it. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to any of my friends and family.

    Many years ago, l used this company to repair my garage door. Because I was so pleased l called…read morethem again. Although the owner told me he no longer serves Chicago, he agreed to send someone out since l was a previous customer. His 18 year old nephew and another worker came out the second day after l expected someone. He said he'd tried to call me but there was no answer. Knowing that my cell phone was shaky, l let it go. After the nephew and the other worker examined the door, they tightened the screws and installed a new opener. However, the door sounded rickety, and was slow and shaky. When l questioned why, l was told that the door was old and should be replaced, at least within the next 2 years. Then when l realized they were leaving l asked about operating the new system. The nephew, with a smile, told me to download the app and read the instructions. Immediately, they packed up their things, and left with their ladder and my $342.00. Within a few minutes, l realized that they also had not installed a working light bulb in the new ceiling opener. I immediately called the nephew's cell, left a message. No one returned my call. At my age (71) l knew not to find something to step on to reach the ceiling. So l stood in the doorway while my repaired door shook its way up and down closing me inside an area left pitch black. I finally remembered that there was an inside light not connected to the opener. I will not recommend this business.
