He also forced open the door so that we can get our car out of the garage. The work was done very methodically and carefully. We really like the finished product.

We had a garage door issue and Gil's was the 3rd garage door company that we talked to. Garage…read moredoor company #1 sent a rep that was very pushy and super sketch. He also wanted $600 to lower the door prior to assessing and quoting on recommended repairs. Garage door company #2 sent a rep that was still very aggressive, but at least they were able to get the door in a somewhat functional condition (door rollers back on the rails, cabling back on the drums, spring tension redone) for $200. It was functioning in manual mode, but in automatic, the door would stop 2/3s of the way down and go back up. Company #2 incorrectly diagnosed the problem as an internal issue with the limits on the door opener. They also wouldn't give a straight quote or a recommendation on what to fix. It was more of an a la carte - if you want to replace the springs, $699; cables + drums + springs ($1529); garage door opener $2500+. This would be like going to a car mechanic for squeaky brakes and getting menu pricing of replacing each part of your car. I digress... here's the actual review: Because of the first two companies, I was ready for more shenanigans from Gil's. However, the representative that arrived was a breath of fresh air. Avi examined the area and gave us his assessment. The door was balanced and no visible issues with any of the parts. The Chamberlain wall mount unit was unlikely to be the issue as they are fairly robust units and probably just needed reprogramming. I told him I wanted to try and reprogram it myself and asked for a quote on a replacement in case it was an opener issue. Avi was extremely professional, honest, and taught us a little about the mechanics of the door opening system. Even though we were able to resolve the problem, I would definitely go with Gil's for any major repair. After seeing all three repairmen, I took some time on the weekend to see if there was anything I could adjust. I noticed the rail was two separate pieces of metal and that they weren't aligned perfectly with each other. I used an adjustable wrench to bend the rails a little to fix that. I also added some lubricant to the rails and cleaned the safety sensors as well. Garage door is working like a charm now.

40 years ago when we bought our home I installed a roll up garage door. It took over 2 days and a…read morebit of time to set up the extension springs, track support and motor to make sure it would not fall down on the car or kids. After years of bracing metal fatigued panels we decided it's finally time to replace it. Since I have been using CC Door as my hinge and roller parts supplier it seemed logical to have them do the replacement. I considered installing it again myself, but decided to have the experts to do it. I am so happy with that decision! Avo visited multiple times and took meticulous measurements and lots of notes to verify the install plan. Techs Jeff and Chris removed the old door, saved me the bracing I had put on, and installed the new door and motor, which was exactly what we ordered. I'm fairly confident in my DIY capabilities, but I'm amazed at the meticulous and professional work of the CC Door techs! For example: they trimmed the corners of bracing at the rafters and used a level to run the wires for the door switch! I've never seen such attention to detail. And there is no way I could have ever made the final adjustments to the door to get it to operate perfectly, and sit perfectly on a sloped garage floor. They swapped springs and cut cables until it rolled exactly as it should. This perfection is learned from experience and training by techs who really care about doing the best job they can for a customer. No YouTube videos can teach that! I am much more than just satisfied! I can't believe how much quieter and smoother the door now works, and I'm confident this door will last a generation like the old one did. This is one of those projects that when it's completed you say "I am so thankful I hired a professional!!" We opted for the side LiftMaster motor and non-insulated panels (which I don't think are needed in the Bay Area). It was a little over $5k, but I would do it again in a heartbeat, it's totally worth it. The next time we'll need to spend money it will be my when my toddler grandkids own the house, and I'm sure they'll call Contra Costa Door!

Whenever I take on a home project or repair, I make it a point to do my due diligence--getting multiple quotes and evaluating companies based on their thoroughness, transparency, customer experience, and ultimately, the quality of their work. Rene and his team stood out immediately and exceeded expectations in every category. The inspection alone was incredibly thorough. They took the time to walk me through everything in detail, explaining not just what they found but why it mattered and how it should be addressed. I walked away feeling much more informed and confident, which is rare. Their customer service was just as impressive. Rene and his team were extremely responsive--any questions or concerns I had were answered quickly and thoughtfully via email. What really stood out was how much Rene valued communication. He never made me feel like I was asking too many questions--in fact, he welcomed them and made me feel like a top priority throughout the entire process. And the results speak for themselves. The quality of the work was outstanding. On top of that, Rene even identified and treated additional drywood termite areas with care, without charging extra. That level of honesty and integrity is hard to come by these days. It's not easy to find companies you can genuinely trust, especially in this space where it's easy to feel taken advantage of. That's why I truly appreciate professionals like Rene and his team. They are knowledgeable, honest, and take pride in doing things the right way. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work. This is a team that genuinely cares about their customers.

Door Pros Garage Door Co…read more 2023 we purchased a very expensive wood garage door from Door Pros. Bobby was the salesmen in San Rafael. I should have ran once I met Bobby. The kind of guy that promises you the best in the world. Well when they delivered the door to install it the door was still wet from the stainer Door Pros had stain it. They swore it would be fine! Fast forward to 2026. I have had Door Pros out over 20 times to try and get the door properly working but every Tom, Dick, and Harry (smokers who smelled like a tobacco factory) they sent must have never been to garage door repair school. Joe the lead technician in the beginning told us the door needed to be taken off and sheetrock cut out so the door would run properly. The next Joe Schmoooo told us something different. So every guy that came out in 3 years had a different story. The last guy 2 months ago said it was installed wrong and he would have the owner call me next week but NEVER a call back. I even spoke with Josh the owner a few years ago and he said they would make it good. We finally said GOOD RIDDANCE to Door Pros. They aren't Pros at all. Just a company that gives a lot of talk and gives you no action. We called another company in SF and in once visit they told us Door Pros had installed the whole door wrong. Wrong springs, bend rails, etc. etc. The door after one visit works beautifully. So stay away from Door Pros. Listen to your gut. I wish I did as we wasted 3 years of our lives with that awful company. Too many photos to post but believe me I have them in a file of companies NOT TO USE.
