Report
Replacement overhead door ordered and pre-paid early July 2021. Installed October 25, although delivery to Consolidated was claimed to be first week of October. After installation of the new door, the old panels were left blocking the driveway for two days. Still not removed as of October 27. One of the new panels has a 1/2 diameter hole punched in it and needs to be replaced. An unsatisfactory experience altogether..

One of the springs on my roll-up garage door broke. I called Consolidated Overhead Door and they sent a service technician the same day. The young woman's name is Hope and she is an excellent technician. I was impressed with her high level of skill and knowledge of overhead doors. She installed a mechanical coupler on the broken spring as a temporary fix until the new springs arrived. The very next day she called to inform me they had the springs in stock. She arrived promptly and installed the new springs in 30-40 minutes. Then, she advised using garage door silicone lubricant (Home Improvement

This is an update to my older review from a deleted gmail account. My door started making a loud scraping noise less than a year after installation. Levi came and serviced it and it runs smoothly again. They mistakenly billed me for a service visit, but when I called they were polite and waived the fee. Raising my initial review from 2 to 3 stars.

I called to schedule a service for my garage opener. The guy who answered walked me through the process of adjusting the sensor rather than just taking my money for the service. I think that's just awesome! I will definitely contact them when I can't do it myself!

After installation, the tech asked me if I knew how to program my cars remote and left. When I went to do so, I discovered this required purchasing an additional $150 component. I called the company and spoke to Susan, telling her I wouldnt have purchased the opener if I had known of this charge. She said sorry you feel this way and that was it. The installation was done well, but the lack of accepting responsibility for disclosing total costs up front was not good business. This is my second time using them, but I wont be doing so again.

I have used this company for several years. Each time I call they are always busy, they take my info and NEVER call back. Each time I have to call them again to get an appointment. Monday 9AM I call for service. Lauren takes all my info and will have someone call in minutes. They did not call so I called them today. I finally get Lauren on the phone and she says they are booked. Then she says since it is now Wednesday and raining they are more booked and they don't work in the rain. I went off on her. They do not have the common courtesy to return a call. They are totally incompetent, rude and
