My wife and I are extremely happy with our new all black garage door. The two young gentlemen that installed it were on time, knew there stuff and worked very efficiently. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

I had a broken spring and wanted a subpar opener replaced. Send Overhead an email on a Sunday afternoon, had a response Monday morning and installation took place Tuesday morning. The customer service was excellent. My technician was Aaron S. He was great. Felt like he went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the installation process. I absolutely will be using Overhead Door again with any garage door needs. From the beginning of the process to the end they exceeded my expectations. Appreciate their help getting our issues taken care of.

Bryan came today to make a repair on our garage door to get us through until our replacements come in due to Derecho damage. He was prompt, extremely helpful, and made sure everything was right before leaving. Great service during an extremely busy time!

My electricty was shut off due to line work so I detached my overhead door so i could get my vehicles out. The electricty came back on and when I started the garage door opener the cable came off on one side and twisted the door and rail. So with a pending snow storm coming the next day I called overhead door and asked for an emergency fix. To my surprise the serviceman, Aaron, was out within two hours and had everything fixed and adjusted properly. Very professional and a job well done and a happy customer.
