Great overall experience. They answered first time I called and were able to come out the same day to look at my garage issue. They arrived exactly on time and even provided courtesy arrival call. Explanation was straight forward just like their pricing. Definitely fair pricing overall as well as I did price compare for good measure. Thank you for positive customer service. read more

Safe smart overhead door installed new, high quality garage doors for thousands less than an estimate from Costco's installer. They also installed matching trim. I bet we will even save money on heating bills this winter. read more

AMAZING! I called on a Saturday morning and was expecting a pre recorded message and or an operator. Instead I spoke with them directly and I was scheduled in for the following Monday with a precise window between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. I asked for a ballpark and he was way lower than I expected! Company arrived at 12:40 on the tick! The job was done in less than 20 minutes. I can open my door now! EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL! It only cost me $350.00 for heavy duty springs (one broke but he changed both) I'm telling you that this is top notch quality service and work! Kudos! read more

I was going to compare quotes from several companies and completely misunderstood that today's visit wasn't a confirmation of the estimate given, but the actual repair service! Another company quoted me around $340 for the repair of my 2 broken springs AND mentioned an additional $150 for the replacement of my cables and brackets. Today, Ryan from Safe Smart Overhead Door replaced my springs, reinforced an area, and fixed the slacked cables for $315!! Which is a very fair price. And my garage door opens and closes properly (been having some issues with the sensors for a while. We talked about the cables and brackets and he was honest about how they are rusty but aren't that bad and probably wouldn't give out for a decent while. Despite the small miscommunication on my end, I'm very happy with the service. He was nice, quick, and answered all my questions (even the curious ones). All done in an hour. 10/10 read more

Great workers on time and came in at price quoted.Didn't try and oversell me on upgrades Honest and fast

The spring on my garage door suddenly broke and I couldn't raise the door. I called Safe Smart late in the day and arranged to have a technician come out the next morning. Sure enough, he showed up on time and 30 minutes later I was good to go. He was professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. The fee was reasonable. I would use Safe Smart again for all my garage door needs. read more

When my garage door torsion spring, broke I knew there was only one place I should call. I did a review about 10 yrs ago and hoped they were still in business and the service was up to par. Well, they once again exceeded my expectations! I called at 5:30pm on New Year's Eve expecting voicemail. Rob answered and helped me set up an appt on 1/2/2024!! Ryan came exactly on time and fixed the door in about 30 minutes. The price was reasonable and exactly as quoted. You can't ask for anything else! read more

Had a broken spring. They replaced both garage door springs. Price was as quoted and very reasonable. They also tightened my garage door chain before I asked them about the issue at no extra charge. All work was completed in 45 minutes. I would have them service my garage door issues in the future. read more

The repairman came when he said he would and the quote on the phone was the same as the final bill. I have no complaints at all. Dot works perfectly. He showed me a few hinges were broken so he repaired them. Couldn't be happier. read more

I called because I had a problem with my door. The service person told me how to fix it over the phone.

Most importantly, the job was done, it was done right, and it was done quickly. And I very much appreciate them providing an option to repair my door rather than replace it, when I assumed replacement would be needed. That said, the service along the way was not a 5 star experience. Despite coming out and inspecting the doors before giving me a price, once they had started the job, they found more work that was required, of course at a higher cost than what they had quoted. Obviously by that point, we had no choice but to pay for the additional work. After they completed the work I had to clean up after them, they left trash throughout the garage, piles of dust from when they sawed the tracks, and even a large screw that could've damaged a tire if I hadn't found it. There were other minor annoyances, but I don't want to pile on since I never want to hurt someone's ability to do business. They did get the job done, so you won't go wrong using them. You just might not get the full 5 star experience, unless I just happened to catch them on a bad day. read more

Rob was the best, very knowledgeable and has good pricing for the LiftMaster brand. He was super nice and set up my old remote as well. Overall, I'm very happy with their service and pricing. read more

We have now used SSOD 3 timeouts, and I continue to be impressed. All 3 visits were on time, honest, and reasonable given the work which was needed at the time (ranging from major to minor). Local business which we are very happy to have found and fully support. read more

Just had a phone talk with Rob regarding a longstanding problem I am having with our door opener light coming on and off randomly. He was not familiar with the problem but offered very helpful next steps to eliminate some possible issues. More later. read more

Ryan recently replaced a broken spring on one of my garage doors the same day that I called. After the installation of the new spring he checked and set the travel limits of the door to ensure proper closing. The service was excellent and the pricing was far better than quotes I received from other garage door service companies in the area. Anyone in need of garage door services should give Safe Smart Overhead Door a call! read more

I've been recommending these guys for a number of years. Always responsive and priced fairly. I would not hesitate in recommending them to my customers, family or friends. Kevin W (owner, Welter Home Services) read more

Was able to schedule quickly and they had our old garage door fixed in no time! Have not had any issues since.

Very happy with the job, replacing a garage door. The installer was professional, the job was installed and cleaned up to our complete satisfaction. read more

We had Safe Smart Overhead Door look at our garage doors. Our one-car door opener wasn't working at all. Safe Smart said we needed a new opener. In this case they installed a LiftMaster opener which included a new rail and chain. Our double--car door was stopping on the way down. It was frustrating because when you wanted to go out, we used the remote in the car, and the door would stick midway, but not always. In this case, Safe Smart recommended switching the sensors. Before we had Safe Smart come to our home, we asked about pricing for openers. The price they quoted on the phone was exactly the same as the price we were charged. We highly recommend Safe Smart! read more

Had to replace a spring and replaced an old garage door opener. The guys came out and were fast and nice. The price was exactly what they quoted me. The price that I got was very reasonable and am very satisfied with the service that they provided. I did not feel like I got over priced at all. Would use this service again! read more

I am a knowledgeable professional contractor but this company refused to install a replacement garage door opener motor at my home even though I had purchased the correct one. Consumerism is changing and the financial outlook to those small businesses like mine that were damaged by the pandemic is currently bleak. But these old dinosaurs refused to adapt. read more

Called to make an appointment. The technician was exactly on time and made the repair I expected. He pointed out another fix I ought to consider and had him make the correction while he was there. I will definitely call them as needed without hesitation. read more

The bracket that secured the opener to the garage door ripped away from the door and the spring of my garage door managed to snap. Not sure how this all happened but it needed to be fixed. After a quick Yelp search, came across Safe Smart Overhead Door. They had serviced my garage at a previous home and I was happy with them at that time. I called them on a Friday at 6:30PM. They answered and gave me a 2-hour window that they come out the next day (Saturday). They called on Saturday when they were 20 minutes out and arrived within the window they gave me. The repair was completed within 45 minutes and the door was serviced and is working perfectly. The price for the work was very reasonable. Overall, Safe Smart is a reliable company with competitive prices. Will only be using them from now on for our garage door needs! read more

Review in a nutshell...quick response, best service, best price! Review in detail...we had a contract for the sale of our townhome in which the buyer required a home inspection. Inspector came, found a problem with the "safety down force" and a crack in the bottom panel of the door. We needed a service call PRONTO to get this fixed. Who do I call to get this fixed the next day without paying the equivalent of a king's ransom? My first go to place, Yelp of coarse! Found Safe Smart and so glad I did!!! I called Safe Smart Overhead Door Company and explained the urgency to get out there fast. Brandon answered the phone and said they could come out that same day. Great!!! But I was holding my breath as to the cost. Well, surprise, surprise...in a very good way! John came out, quickly assessed what the problem was, promptly replaced, reinforced and adjusted what was needed and even went above and beyond by replacing a damaged side weather strip which he didn't even charge us for. All for a price, as the discount stores say "can't be mentioned here" but trust me, it was a pleasant surprise and a lot less than other door companies had quoted me. So if you need a good door company, these guys are it! Very quick response, great customer service, knowledgeable and above all, very honest. Highly recommended. read more

We had a problem with the safety sensor on our garage. John came out as scheduled. He was very professional, investigated the problem and quoted the work before starting. I mentioned some excess noise and he walked me through some maintenance items that would be performed as part of a typical tune-up. Based on his recommendation, we ended up replacing the sensor and rollers as well, which includes the tune-up steps. The price for parts was close to what I would pay and I didn't have to do the work! John completed the work quickly and thoroughly. The doors are so much quieter than before! He even showed me how to perform some regular maintenance that is manageable if you are even slightly handy. I would definitely recommend them for garage door maintenance! read more

Quick - Reliable - Efficient. Called them at 7:00 AM for a repair of my garage door and John was at my door by 7:45 and by 8:20, he fixed it. He explained what the problem was and the fix he will be doing clearly. Bottom line, they are dependable. I would recommend them. read more

We found garage door opened a foot then stopped. One of torsion springs is broken. I got a neibouger recommendation and called Safe Smart this morning around 8 AM, Rob came this afternoon and did a great job. He has near 30 year experience. The price is very reasonable at current part shortage situation. I really appreciate he get my job done on time and without broke my bank. read more

Iam not sure why strange things happen on a Monday! I was totally absent minded and backed my car into the garage door and obviously damaged the bottom panel of our garage door, right in front of my wife who was looking at me in disbelief. I quickly went upstairs and grabbed the safesmart coupon i saved from valpak, called them and a gentleman answered the phone and was very polite and got a tech down within an hour. John, the tech, quickly started working on the door and got it fixed in about an hour. Its back working again with no need for a new panel. Iam glad I called these guys. I called an other company who claimed they were available "24 hours", actually the ones who installed these doors and apparently they were not available until the next day. Keep in mind I called those folks around 4:30PM. Use these folks if you need any repair, I think you wont be disappointed. read more

Found them here on Yelp, saw excellent reviews and didn't bother calling anybody else. They didn't disappoint. Called them on a Thursday, they were there on the morning of the following day. John quickly diagnosed the issue and did the repair. As good as it gets. Highly recommend. read more

Great service! Called at 3:30 PM and Rob was at my house before 7:00 PM. Replaced the spring and two bearings. Also lubed and straightened a bent piece of track. Rob was really great and very helpful. He wanted the door to open as smooth as possible before he left. It is much smoother now than it has ever been in the 10 years we've lived in this house. I would HIGHLY recommend giving them a call! read more

Needed a side-mount opener installed. Called around and either no return call or was told it couldn't be done due to low overhead clearance. Safe Smart came out and handled it with no problems. Knowledgeable, courteous, and fast service and quality installation. Everything works great! read more

Company was out next day and fixed our spring. Thanks for the speedy fix and nice employee. Our kids can ride bikes again now!

My parents used them for service and referred me to them because my garage door opener was closing intermittently. Everything works great now...and they were less expensive than another company I had out that didn't even know what the problem was. Will definitely be using them from now on! read more

Great customer service !! Called early this morning at 7 AM and by 8 AM the garage door was fixed!! Rob was great. He explained everything that he did while he was doing it. Highly recommend. read more

On Sunday 11/17, the coil of my garage door snapped along with one of the cables. I called Safe Smart Overhead Door on Sunday indicating I would like to schedule an appointment for the following day if feasible. A rep from the business called me back within 30 minutes and provided an estimate of $200.00 that included the coil, cables and labor. An appointment was scheduled for the 11 to 1 time frame. On the day of the appointment, I received a phone call from a rep at 11:15 indicating that John was on his way and would be to my house in 15 minutes. Sure enough, John arrived within the 15 minutes. He indicated the fix would take about 30 minutes but in reality he was done within that 30 minutes. John replaced the cables and coil. In addition he greased parts of the tracking system to decrease the noise. He was very pleasant, friendly and professional. I will definitely call Safe Smart Overhead Door if needed and recommend them to anybody who asks. I had called two other garage repair businesses on Sunday as well. One returned my call too late in the day and the other one located in Libertyville has not responded with a call back yet. Safe Smart Overhead Door won because of their fast response. Five stars for sure!! read more

Had a broken garage door spring, so decided to give these guys a try. So glad we did! They called about 20 minutes out to let us know they were on the way. John showed up and was very professional and thoroughly explained everything. He even helped us out with an issue we were having with one of our transmitters. We will definitely be using these guys for all future garage door repairs! read more

Was not able to open garage door on a Saturday. Needed to be at graduation and needed service fast. Called them and had John here within a half hour. Was able to fix the door quickly and at reasonable cost. Will definitely use again if needed. read more

Our garage door opener wouldn't open. A guy quickly checked it out, but he said it would require a new powerful opener, and they were supposed to call me back. They didn't charge any service fee to look at it, though they never did call me back, even after a week. I found another service company that had a cheaper deal. They said I didn't need a more powerful opener, and they actually charged me less. read more

Cold weather strikes! Garage door opener, which has been touchy decides that it's way too cold to work -- so time for a replacement. Called the company who had done work on the doors previously -- no response after two calls. So who do I turn to? Fellow Yelpers! And wow, were they right. 5 Stars consistently is hard to come by, but Safe Smart really deserves the rating. First, talked to Brandon -- he wanted to educate me on what the latest products were, prices, and what they could and could not do. He even told me where to find a good deal on an opener on my own. No pressure to buy anything. Of course, had to discuss with Husband, and he had more questions, so he talked to Brandon. Brandon wasn't working that day, but they tracked him down and he called us back within a very short time period. Didn't expect that. So we bought the unit, and called for an install appointment. John was very prompt, installed the unit in the freezing cold, ran me through the fine points of operation and was off. And he put all the recycle in a box for me. No mess to clean up. Fantastic service, no pressure, very easy to talk to, and they really want you to know ahead of time what you're looking at for costs and what your options are. As someone else said, don't mess around with anyone else, just call these guys. You won't be disappointed. read more

Everyone from the person who answered the phone to the tech that came to my house was friendly, polite and knowledgeable. They were early to the appointment and dead on to their estimate in both time and price. I would not hesitate to use them again and would recommend them to anybody. read more
