Be very careful! The cable broke on our standard garage door. Prestige Garage Doors' online quote (in writing) was $95 for site visit including labour. Parts would be $48-$78. By the time Prestige arrived, the site visit was now $155 and they tried to charge me $98 for the cable set. Then I foolishly fell for the "your garage door drums are worn" and they will cost you $150 (I could have ordered two 4" drums online and had them delivered for $49). After they left, and after asking to keep my used parts, I compared the old to the new: the difference was minimal at best and a local technician told me I was taken advantage of. The Prestige Garage Door technician tried to up-sell me on EVERYTHING - even telling me that if I didn't change my rollers the door could fall on me or my kids. I should have known better. Stay away from Presitge Garage Doors.
- Approximate cost of services:

- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Find out what the basic parts cost (retail) before you call. Don't let Prestige Garage Doors change their quote on the fly - demand they stick to their writtten quote. Do NOT approve additional work on site unless you have researched door repairs and know enough to differentiate bogus claims from real ones.
