A friend recommended Don’s Garage Door for my garage door that wouldn’t open. Spoke to Tim on the phone & he sent Brian out. Turns out my door had a broken spring. Brian fixed it right away. I think it took less than an hour. He was very polite, showed me the broken spring and showed me everything he did. Very happy with the whole thing & everyone I dealt with. It turned out to be a good day after all!
