Report
After !having an accident with my lift gate being up in the garage and driving off, my day was going horribly. I did a little research and found Wunderkind Doors. I could not close the door it was about to fall from the ceiling and I was very nervous about it falling down. Rob and the guys at Wunderkind where there in less than an hour, the door was repaired very fast and ended up being quiter than before the accident. I am very pleased with their speed and quality of work. They saved the day......would recommend these guys to anyone that has any problem with their garage doors.

Ordered a door for a very old 1 car garage, which needed extra work to fit the low headroom of the garage. They spent an entire day to make sure th the installation was complete and functioning. I'd recommend them to anyone.
