    garage door repair

    The Garage Door Depot website states that they service all makes and models. I called and had a repairman come. He told me they do not service my type of door. I would have to pay $250 to have the spring replaced, he would have to come back to do the work, and on top of that, I was expected to pay $100 for for the service call today. I called and spoke to a lady who said she was the service manager. She didn`t have any explanation as to why their website states that they service all makes and models, when if fact, they don`t. She told me I was lucky because they normally charge $150 for a service call. This appears to be false advertising, and is certainly very poor service.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Tony for your review and I am sorry you did not have a great experience with our company. We strive at all times to deliver the highest level of service and support to our customers. I did review your service experience with the dispatcher, the technician and the service manager involved. To start, we do service all makes and models on the market today. There are older doors out there which any door company would be challenged to service but by and large we can handle most any situation we encounter. In your case you have a unique torsion system on your door called a TorqueMaster. We can replace these systems when they fail however they are costly and don't provide the longer lifecycle that a standard exposed spring torsion system would provide. Thus we don't keep them in stock. The exposed spring is often what we recommend to customers which is what happened in this case. Our technician offered to "convert" your system from a TorqueMaster to a standard torsion system. This is more expensive than a basic spring change as it requires our technician to replace other components on your door to allow the conversion. The technician did not have with him all components thus would have to return. Under normal circumstance, had you agreed to have us complete the conversion, your initial callout charge would not have been charged to you. We would have simply arranged to return with all parts and completed the job. I would be more than happy to return to your home and have one of our technicians complete a conversion for you or replace the existing TorqueMaster. If you had us back for this, we would happily credit your first call back to you. I look forward to making this right with you and getting your door working 100% and safely. Yours truly. Dean. C. General Manager. Vancouver Branch.

    Replacement Garage Door

    I've been in the Canadian Armed Forces for 25+ years so I've met and worked with hundreds of different people. Greg is, by far, one of the most professional and personable individuals I've ever met. My wife needed some immediate help after our garage door was damaged. Greg came over quickly and spent over an hour (at no cost) getting our door working manually until a replacement could be chosen. Greg provided many different replacement door options, made sure we were extremely well informed, and regularly kept us up to date on the status of the new door purchase. His workmanship is excellent and I would unreservedly recommend him to anyone.

    Top quality insulated garage door and the quietest motor I've ever heard

    Our family recently moved from Toronto to Ottawa, so we have experience installing two garage doors at two different houses in less than a year, which makes us unsuspecting experts. We have had amazing service from Garage Door Depot in Toronto and Ottawa, but the service in our nation's capital was absolutely second to none. Our door is the strongest, most insulated and most durable we have ever seen. Our motor is whisper quiet. The design is modern, crisp and clean. The price is absolutely reasonable and fair for the quality of product and service. But what stands out most was the incredible service. Greg (and his dog Dodger) was warm and friendly, communicative and helpful, affable and accommodating, and thoughtful beyond compare. He talked us through our choices, guided us with respect and was an absolute dream with our toddler daughter who he apprenticed throughout the installation. To top things off, he will be installing our old garage door, free of a charge, to someone on veteran's assistance. That is a quality of person that you don't encounter every day. We give our strong and unreserved endorsement of Greg's company.

    Replacement of two garage doors.

    Quote was given and product supplied as requested and on time. Installer was efficient, courteous and took away all the debris. I couldn't be happier with the service, product and efficiency of the company representative who happened to be the installer as well.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you so much. We are thrilled you're happy with your new doors and our service. We will share your kind comments with our installer:)

    Garage Door Depot & the LiftMaster 8550W

    FANTASTIC from start to finish! Greg Darby did a great job on the installation of my LiftMaster 8550W garage door opener. Greg even went above and beyond when he noticed that my light socket was loose and offered to fix it while he was up on his ladder; it wasn't part of the job or contract, but Greg offers SUPERB customer service. He is the one I will call from now on for all my garage door repairs or purchases. His son Tyler was helping Greg and he is as hardworking as his dad. Thanks Greg and Tyler! You guys are great! By the way, the LiftMaster 8550W is truly a great garage door opener, just like Greg said. I'm glad I took his advice. It is very quiet and I got it connected to my Iphone in a few easy minutes; just follow the instructions ;)

    New garage door installation

    We had a gentleman named Greg come out to do the job. He showed up on time, he did the job and cleaned up all the extra garbage after the job. He went out of his way on a Saturday to take the time to give us very helpful tips for future issues as the product ages and issues that could arise. He refused to take a tip. Instead we donated food to the needy for him. A very polite, down to earth, excellent, professional worker!! I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know that could use his services. Thank-you Greg!

    Replace Garage Doors

    Excellent value for money. We were able to upgrade the insulation, incorporate windows and a nice embossed finish for the same prince as competitors. Greg walked us through and offered lots of options from real projects which really helped in the final decision. No pressure. Professional and courteous.
