Robert was able to replace our springs within a day of first contacting him. Arrived on schedule and was very easy to work with. He adjusted a few other things (motor, light) and gave me good advice about maintenance and life left in my other door system components. Nice guy. Would definitely use again. read more

Robert does it again! 10 out of 10! Called him yesterday regarding a broken spring rendering the door useless. Robert requested a few garage door pics to confirm what was needed. Stated he would be over today between 10-12, texted me with a twenty minute notice of his arrival within the timeframe. Arrived and repair/door check up was completed in 30 minutes. Would recommend to all. Great businessman. read more

Had a slight problem with one of the garage wheels going off track. Called a couple of businesses and explained the situation. A lof of businesses were either not answering my call or would charge an inspection fee of $150+. Finally called RCO and told him of my problem and said he would only charge me $29. Came to my house, put the wheel back on track and even inspected it a couple of times to see what caused it and realigned the track a bit. Total cost, $29, as advertised. My Zelle app wasnt working and after a couple of attempts, he mentioned to just pay him when I get it to work. Total trust! I did pay later. Will definitely call for future garage door problems! read more

I don't normally post reviews, but due to the service I got from Robert, I felt like I needed to. His communication was great and he's very reliable. Love how I can do online payments because my garage opener was located at my rental property, which was very far from where I live. Definitely recommend. He also would give suggestions to help save you money! read more

Had a broken spring for my two-car garage door. Called several places and Robert had the best manners out of everyone. He was straightforward. Had me text him the photos, and he called right back to tell me what's wrong with the garage and the exact quote to repair it. He arrived on time. Was professional and efficient. Replaced the spring, put the cables back on and fixed two wheels. And the rate was fair and competitive. He says there's a couple of years warranty. But hopefully, we won't have any issue for a really really long time. Just so happy it was taken care of within hours!! read more

Knowledgable, trusted, reasonable , fair priced. I have know Rob for 9 years now and he takes care of all my personal and rental property's garage door related maintenance and fixes Highly highly recommend him read more

I first called another garage door company listed on yelp which has many more reviews. The phone was answered promptly and a quote was given. I decided to get a second quote and I called RCO. This quote was 20% less. Robert, the owner, was able to come out the same day and replace a broken spring. I found him to be forthright, reasonable and competent. In addition to replacing the springs, he replaced the missing nuts on the wooden door and tightened all of them which was nice. Finally he lubricated ALL the joints, which I wasn't expecting. read more

As usual, I am detailed person and I do not put my comments or reviews too often. When I add my review, it is my truly recommendation. My garage door has issues in the evening of November 15. When I took photos and text to the owner, he pointed out it's "Spring" issue and need to replace and provided me quote... Although it's evening and considered emergency, he provided very reasonable price. From my observation, he is professional and very knowledgeable. He only spent less than 30 minutes to complete. I am totally satisfied about his work. I definitely will refer to my friends... read more

Rob is awesome. If you have a garage door, call him up. He'll straighten you out and is a friendly person to work with. Would hire again. read more

I would like to thank Robert for his help. He had an emergency the morning of but still made it out. I was having issues with my garage door closing. Someone else came a couple days prior to look at it but was not able to identify the problem. Robert was able to fix it within minutes! Robert is a very nice guy, very knowledgeable and willing to help! I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone. read more

RCO is as good as it gets! I had to call Rob twice for my garage door, both times I couldn't open it and so was stuck in my house. He came both times right away and even on the weekend!! I'm finally planning to get a new motor since it's a few decades old and Rob advised me that I could just go get a motor from the store for a couple hundred bucks and he could install it for me, which would help me save the most money. He is not out there to put a huge markup on everything and nickle and dime you for his time. He really provides so much value and is so quick that you just WANT to work with him. Rob is super quick, honest, and does an awesome job. I'd highly recommend him!!! read more

The springs on my garage failed and RCO showed up on the same day to fix it.

I wish I was able to have the 5 star experience so many others here have had. He must have had a bad day that day. First of all, he was over 1 hr late. There was no contact from him telling me he would be late, or why. I had to ask him where he was after the time had already passed. It's fine, people are late sometimes, but you should give them a heads up, give a reason for the delay, offer an ETA, and perhaps an apology. Typical courtesy even between friends, not to mention a customer for your business, right? Because of his tardiness, I asked if we could talk about the price, and he became very antagonistic. He looked quite strong, and when he raised his voice, I was honestly quite scared. He said I should have told him it was a problem, but I had specifically asked for an earlier appointment than what he proposed, which a normal person would understand as a later time being not as good for me. We had agreed on the earlier time. His reply was that the price is what we agreed on. In my mind I was thinking "well we had also agreed on a time as well". So our agreement only applies to the customer and not the vendor apparently. As for the actual job... well, the door works. But you'd expect any one of the other dozen garage repair men to do at least that. The job was done haphazardly--throwing parts on the ground, banging up our walls. Also, please note that the price he quoted me originally did not include tax. The other quotes I got were "out of pocket" prices including everything, and in the end, I don't think I saved any money going with this guy. Bottom line: I went with RCO because of his lower quote which turned out not to be lower after tax. They were 1+hr late to the appointment, the service was sub-par, and for $15 more, I wish I had gone with one of the outfits that had clear and courteous communication. read more

I spoke with several other local contractors who hemmed and hawed about the situation with my door (partially exposed to the elements, longer/uneven door) and they wanted me to jump through hoops before they'd even come out and take a look. Robert has a can-do attitude. He quickly responded to me, came out to my property the next day and installed a new opener in a half hour. Price was fantastic and he as really great to work with. Highly recommended! read more

I called Robert because of all of the great reviews RCO had received. Robert came to install the garage door quickly and then left. Shortly after the installation, the chain started to get looser to the point where it is now scratching the front of the garage door whenever it opens and closes. I have a four foot black scratch on the front of my garage with the paint ripped off because of the loose chain hanging from the ceiling. I've called him to fix it, but he keeps on "missing" the appointments, not answering his phone, and then replying back later with reschedule times when I am busy. Of course I change my schedule and then he does not show up...and the cycle continues. Well, if you want a contractor who will mess up on the installation, damage your garage door, and then always miss appointments to fix it and reschedule for a later inconvenient time, you found your contractor - Robert. Edit: Finally heard back from Robert after over a week, but too little too late. I got someone else to fix it and basically RCO installed the chain wrong(duh) and they didn't install all the nuts and locknuts...great. Well an extra cost but at least its fixed now and doesn't make any noise like it did when it was originally installed which only got worse as time passed (should have been a sign right there but what do I know about garage door installations). read more

Preface: Explaining with detail what happened to my garage door would be beyond embarrassing. I'll reveal, though, because I hate facebook statuses that give hints to nothing (probably secretly hoping that someone would be intrigued and ask), that it involved backing up into it from the inside following a moment of frustration and a transitory complete absence of logical thinking. I had to replace my garage door, and it couldn't wait- basically because the door was out of place and wouldn't close and the house was, thus, absolutely vulnerable. RCO Doors could make it to my place in about an hour, they fixed the door temporarily so I could at least leave the house without fearing an invasion from curious intruders; gave me an explanatory, detailed, budget estimation; and scheduled an appointment for as soon as the next day to do the job. They adapted to my work schedule, bought all the materials, and completed the task of removing an old, rotten, broken, door; the electrical opener that had never worked for the time that I'd been here, fix the door frame, install a new system with fancy secure opening, and clean up, in a timely manner. My HOA has a policy of uniformity in the way houses look from the outside. RCO didn't have a problem taking the extra step to make my door look exactly like the rest of the garage doors in the complex, albeit way older and primitive in operation :-) Usually replacing a garage door is not an emergency but in my case it was, and RCO Doors responded to it as quickly as I needed. Fast response, professional work, reasonable price, life warranty on most parts, and tips for an optimal maintenance! I couldn't ask for more. read more

Guys installed same day as I called the garage door opener. Very prompt, professional, organized! Thank you for excellent service!

My garage springs broke on on me and my car was stuck inside. So it was very important that I get the garage fixed ASAP. I get on yelp to find a garage repair place because who uses the yellow pages anymore? My search gives me a variety of choices and I call a few to see what kind of prices were out there. If you're reading this review and you're garage is broken and you're on a budget and trying to find the best price. Look no further because RCO Garage Doors will be it. Go ahead, and continue to shop around but I'm telling you this will be the best price. RCO is operated and owned my Robert. I called him Saturday and he tells me he can be at my place any time most convenient for me. I was out so I told him the best time would be 8pm or later. 8pm or later on a Saturday folks. This guy will come out 24/7 to fix your garage and will not even charge you extra. Robert shows up at my place and turns out to be a super cool dude. Takes a look at my broken garage and tells me the springs broke and that it will be a quick fix. Robert works his garage fixing magic and gets my garage to work in 20 minutes. Seriously it was that fast. Bottom line is... doyou want your garage fixed fast? Call Robert. Do you want your garage fixed at the best price? Call Robert. Do you want awesome and friendly customer service? Call Robert. Hopefully, this review helps you decide who to call when your garage door is broken. Stop reading reviews and searching for a garage door repair place. CALL ROBERT! read more

Excellent work fixing the garage door install issue caused by another company.

I was having issues with my garage door not closing properly for awhile now, and of course, I used trusty Yelp to find a good company to help me out. I called up Robert and he advised me to check the sensors. When that didn't solve the problem, I called him back and he came out the next afternoon to look at it. It was a simple fix of chewed up wires (from my dog!), but Robert gave me a great price when I mentioned I found him on Yelp. I highly recommend RCO, and will definitely call them if I ever experience any other problems with my garage door. Robert was extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating with his schedule. read more

Robert replied to my Yelp quote request within a minute, I accepted the reasonable quote and set an appt for the same day, He arrived on time and completed the spring replacement in less than 45min. He did not try to sell other services/products. Fast, Efficient, He knows what he is doing, Professional and Personable. RCO will be my GoTo shop when it comes to garage doors. read more

Found Robert and RCO from Craigslist and Yelp to replace a broken torsion spring on the garage door. Robert came to the rescue on short notice on a Sunday afternoon and worked quickly to replace the spring. Personable, punctual, competitively-priced, and honest, I would highly recommend RCO if you need an experienced repair professional. Thanks again! read more

Wow! I phoned RCO @ 7 o'clock last nite and they came from Milpitas to North Oakland Hills a few hours later. What service! They quickly fixed the broken garage door spring; performed routine maintenance and gave me tips on what I can do to keep my door running smoothly. Fast, professional, personable, reliable, and at a competitive price. Hey, look no further for garage door repair... Reasonable price. Prompt, professional, courteous service. Available nites and weekends! Yes...NITES & WEEKENDS!!! Thank you Mr. & Mrs. RCO! read more

Late Friday night one of our springs snapped. On our way to a birthday party in SF Saturday morning I called to try and make arrangments to get it fixed when we came back into town. Robert was very accommodating and professional. He said he would be at my house by 5:45 which he was. He was fast, professional and very personable. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. Keep up the GREAT WORK read more

I sent RCO some pictures of our Martin garage door, where the large single spring had snapped. They gave us a couple of options for replacing the spring, either with another single or with two. We went with two and they did a great job of fixing everything. We had another quote from a company on yelp that also had very good reviews, and the 'other company's' quote was more than twice what RCO charged. I think if you look at the cost of springs and the amount of time taken to complete this job, RCO was super fair and the other company was not. So why not go with RCO? I will from now on. read more

What can i say about Robert? Just AWESOME. Two weeks ago, while backing out of the garage, I didn't realize the garage door wasn't all the way open and BAM, the roof rack of my family's SUV hit the bottom panel of the garage. Needless to say, I messed up the garage and had to get it fixed. After 3 days of trying to fix it by me and my dad (And we probably made the damage worse since the whole garage door collapsed on us and we had to put the whole thing back together piece by piece.) we gave up and went to Yelp. I found RCO Garage Doors and gave them a call, Robert answered right away and said he could come over the next day. The next day, Robert came and took a look at the Garage and in less than 15 minutes, the garage door was working just like new. Not only did he work fast, but he's a pretty cool guy. The price that Robert gave me was a whole lot more reasonable than all the other garage door repairmen were offering me. Next time there is something wrong with your garage door, call RCO Garage door and trust me you won't be disappointed. read more

Wow! RCO is fantastic, well Roger anyway. I called today at 9:40am and he told me he would call me right back as he was at another job. Within 10 minutes he called me back and told me he could be at my house between 10am - 10:30am. He got to my house around 10:10am and in no time he was able to let me know what was wrong with my garage door, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. He said the job would take about 1 hour and I was fine with that. I couldn't belive that he actually only took 30 minutes. Roger is professional and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend you use this company for all your garage door needs. I will definitely be recommending this company to all my family and friends. Just one tip though, he only accepts cash or checks which was fine by me. read more

I recently moved into a new home with a garage, and promptly managed to break the door (or so I thought). I called Robert in a panic, and he answered his phone on a Sunday (!). He then attempted to diagnose the problem through some photos we sent him, since we live in Emeryville and he is down in the South Bay. When that didn't work, he called back and volunteered to come over in person to check it out, since he was going to be in the East Bay for another job--no charge for the inspection(!). He came over, knocked a part back into place, told us that the door was functional but that if we wanted to, we could replace the part that was bent for under $10 at Home Depot, showed us how to use and maintain the door properly--BAM, "problem" solved, no charge(!). Although I felt stupid for thinking the door was broken when it wasn't really broken, Robert was incredibly nice and helpful throughout our conversation. Plus, he seemed very knowledgeable. If my garage door is ever really broken, I won't call anyone else! Stellar!! read more

Fellow yelpers....don't bother calling other places for estimates or anything for garage doors. Don't waste your time. Robert came out on Friday to Daly City and gave estimate. Garage door installed on Saturday. In and out in 3 hours. Absolutely nothing negative to say. Great install job and simply just a great experience. Thanks Robert!! read more

We came home from vacation one evening and the garage door stopped 1 ft from the top. The outlet where the garage door opener was connected to was functioning, so we knew our opener had stopped working. We called a few places recommended by Yelp, but 1st place quote much higher than Robert for a less product with less hp. 2nd place claimed they answer 24 hrs of the day, but I got bounced to a vm saying they're open 9 - 5. False advertising! No way I was going to that company. Robert showed up in the 1 hr timeframe arranged the next day. Replaced our old 30 yr old garage door opener with a brand new liftmaster with 2 controls and a keyless entry pad. He also noticed that our rollers were old and rubbing against the track, so he recommended plastic-y ones. What a difference in noise level! He adjusted the tension in our spring since it wasn't installed properly. All with a great attitude and friendly manner. Will definitely use him again if/when our springs give out. Thank you Robert! read more

Robert & Courtney were great overall. I'm very pleased. Robert came out for an estimate a few weeks back and wrote up an estimate for redoing our three garage doors. Price was very competitive (i.e. better) than another estimate that I had. Communication was good. After getting approval from my home owner's association, I got the installation scheduled for a few days later. When the main door supplier was not able to fulfill the order in time, he switch to another vendor with a superior product and didn't charge me anything extra. It only delayed our start date by one day. Nice save. Overall, the project was completed in a few hours and the doors work great. Thank you Robert, won't hesitate to recommend him to others. read more

Professional, curteous, fair, prompt, straight-forward. Robert was at our house to give us an estimate for a new garage door (one-piece, roll-up from our original two-door garage) in just an hour and a half after calling him. He gave us valuable advice on security and chipped in extras as well. The best price I found for what we wanted. He was on-time the very next day, ready to go. Garage door is up and everything we wanted! I highly recommend these guys! read more

YES ,WOOHOO. AS GOOD AS IT GETS My husband called the company to fix my In-Law's Garage door opener , and boy they are efficient , knew what the problem was right away and charged us a very good price with discount . Thanks too for FINE HOME RENOVATIONS that referred them to us . read more

Robert did his job very professionally. He repaired the self install that I did on my small garage door and replaced the original mechanism with torsion bars and worked beautifully. He wasn't satisfied with just seeing this work but worked extra to make sure that everything was aligned and worked perfectly. And he even came out all the way from his usual jobs in San Jose to my location in San Mateo. Great job and great guy! Thanks, Robert! P.S. He's even due to come back when he has another job in my area to adjust the garage door opener that he installed but I couldn't find the part to do that at time of install. read more

I am glad that I found Rob. The spring on my garage door broke on Tuesday evening. I searched for garage door service and found Rob. I called him and felt that he is very experienced and knowledgeable. His quote is reasonable and competitive. We met at 7:30am the next day and within 30 minutes he completed the job as promised. In addition to replacing the door springs, he also taught me how to take care of the garage door, such as lube the moving parts, seal the small gap on the door, install garage door threshold, etc. I highly recommend Rob for garage door related services. read more

My garage door had level/alignment problem and bottom seal had gaps. Robert returned my call quickly, arrived next day on time and discussed the possible solutions. Later, after getting parts, he completed installations. I would mention that he was very helpful and took one more trip to replace garage seal. I would be happy to ask his help with future repairs. read more

Robert was very helpful and prompt. A spring had broken on our garage door, and he readily came to repair it on the same day. He is friendly and efficient, and completed the job in about 30 minutes. I have other properties in the area, so I know who I'll be calling next time I need expert help with a garage door! read more

I called him on Sunday (labor day weekend) he came between 2 hours from the call, he replaced the broken springs and the price was very decent. Robert came back today as promised to finish the job. He left the garage door working like new. I will definitely call him again if I ever need to replace the garage door. Thank you! read more

This was my second time calling them for a repair. 2 years ago it was to replace a spring in which they came out in a few hours to do! 5 stars for that service, price and taking my call at 7am! This past week my motor was on its last leg (as expected since it was getting worse). Called him up to see what the install price was and how quick to come out. Not only was it next day but gave me recommendations of a new one, where to go and how to save money on it. Picked it up, confirmed install time and again 5 star service! read more

Rob is incredible! If I could give 6 stars I would. I backed into my garage door while it was closing on July 4, leaving it twisted and inoperable. I called and left a message for him and received a call back the same day, while he was on a camping vacation! He came the next day on his way home, and had the door operational in less than half an hour for a total charge of $125. How I wish more businesses were as honest, forthright and reliable as Robert. Having the Zelle payment option was great also. He pointed out the door was cracked (nothing to do with the problem he came for) and would have to be replaced at some point. When I eventually need a new system he will get the business for sure. read more
