There are only a few times in life when you're so unbelievably impressed with someone that it becomes one of those life stories you tell at parties. Most people won't even believe the story, but it happened to you and you know it's true! Dave came out to repair my garage door after another contractor (doing other work at my home) screwed it up. AR-BE worked on my super tight schedule and made sure their technician showed up on time. I could almost hear the Ride of the Valkyries as Dave's truck approached my home. With all the fanfare of a royal wedding, Dave emerged from the truck amidst the blaring of trumpets and baton twirlers. He sauntered over, introduced himself, and as if by magic, opened my crooked and defunct garage door with ease. As his entourage set up the buffet table and the band took their place on my porch, Dave got to work. Soon, the delicious aroma of grilled meats and foreign delicacies filled the air. People were dancing, people were eating, and the party was in full swing when Dave announced, "Your ingress-egress portal is now functioning properly!" The crowd that had formed stared in awe; the "oohs" and "ahhs" were almost deafening. Then, a minister and a troupe of cloaked Druids arrived to bless the garage! After a short ceremony, my garage door was sanctified and we partied long into the night! But seriously, Dave showed up when he was supposed to. He was very nice and very professional. He fixed the spring and did general maintenance in about 15 minutes. Then he was on his way. read more

Since I had purchased my garage door opener from ARBE I contacted them to obtain a remote control since mine no longer worked. First I'm informed that the remote would cost $50, then I'm told it would cost me $79 for them to come out! I said just to give me a remote its going to cost me $79? She said "yes, they need to get up on a ladder to program it". Then suggested I could go to a garage door supply place in Bedford Park, it would still cost me $50. I said maybe I should try Menards or something, she stated she heard people try that and end up having to return them. I just hung up! I went to my garage door opened took down make & model etc., also had the make & model of my remote., went on Amazon and low and behold they had my exact remote for $32!!! Also does not take a rocket scientist to program a remote for the garage door opener! And it certainly should not cost a person $79!! read more

Dan you are the Best! I had problems with the garage door not closing using the remote. Dan repair the wirings and the garage is closing. Thank you for your quick response!! Gloria J Lee read more

This delayed reviewed is long time coming. For a business to not service a customer after they've confirmed an appointment is totally bs, and a business I or anyone should stay clear of. There's many other businesses who provide this type of service and would be more reliable, honest and customer focused. read more

David just left. Called prior to arrival, arrived on time, inspected the hinge and all others replaced 3 and tuned-up the garage. In and out 30 minutes tops. When I am ready for a new door, I know where I am going AR-BE! read more

This company had the best price for my garage door needs. The owner, Dave, was very responsive and professional. I appreciated what he did for me. He is a gentleman of his word! read more

I live in Orland Park and I've had ARBEE doors service my garage doors and openers for the last 30 years. If you want the best service price they will be there the next morning very responsive , very friendly !! you will not receive better service or prices. I guarantee you ask for DAVE. He's the one that I'll be there or have somebody be there the next morning or when you whenever you need them read more

This company will schedule appointments and cancel them 45 minutes before the time of appointments. Make you reschedule, if you miss one phone call by 15 minutes they will cancel the reschedule. (There isn't a grace period they cancel when you don't answer) This had to be the worst customer service experience I've ever had in my life. Not only were they completely unsympathetic of their faults. They had not one single solution to remedy a problem that they created themselves. read more

I requested several quotes from different garage door repair companies and out of all the ones I contacted they had one of the most competetive prices. Dave arrived on time, was very professional, and efficient in replacing both springs on my garage door. The chain on my garage door had been lose for sometime and I ask Dave how much extra it would be to adjust it. Since it was a quick fix he did not want to charge me. Highly recommend this company for your garage needs. read more

Our garage door came off the track and the track was bent and we could not shut our garage all the way. We called AR BE on Saturday afternoon after hours and received a call back first thing Monday morning. David came out by 10 a.m. and fixed the garage within a half hour. We are so grateful for the quick turnaround and the pricing was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend them for any of your garage needs. read more

I had been hearing really great things regarding this company from co-workers, neighbors, and family. You see, I have been dealing with an old garage door for years. It began to fall apart on the bottom...I would spackle it, paint it...year after year! Why? Just to avoid replacing it. Well, enough was enough! I decided to give AR-BE a call. I set up an appointment, but to my surprise they were working in the area the day before and stopped by after seeing me outside. The technician " Javier" inspected everything. The owner "Dave" called me a short time later and gave me a very competitive price. He actually made me feel so much better, as I did not have to repair, paint....repair, paint.... any more. So take it from someone that is not easy to convince. My peeps convinced me to contact AR-BE. And, AR-BE helped my aching back. read more

I highly recommend AR-BE! Dave helped me choose a color. The installer came out the next day & was done within a couple of hours. Our garage door looks great! read more

I've always found this company incredibly reliable and responsive with prompt service. I purchased a Garage Door from AR-BE many years ago and from time to time it needs some tweaking. I've never had any major issues and they've always been available to help when they occur. I'll like to thank Dave and his crew for their help over the years and for the recent quote. It has always been a pleasure doing business with this company. read more

Our very old garage door broke on a Saturday. We had an honest and fair quote by midday and a new door on Monday. Couldn't have asked for a better, no nonsense, respectful interaction! make the call! read more

I called yesterday for a quote and the owner, Dave, came by a few hours later (gloves and mask on!) to give me an estimate on replacing my very old garage door. He gave me a discounted price and was able to get me the color I wanted! He was SO nice and easy to work with! Javier came by this morning to install. In less than 2 hours I had a brand new garage door. I highly recommend this local, family owned company! read more

Called Ar-Be to replace our garage doors, they installed beautiful Carriage House Doors w hinges and windows...looks beautiful on our home. Customer service was very helpful, Installers very professional. I have used Ar-Be on 3 of our homes for the last 30 years! Wouldn't use anyone but Ar-Be!! Thank you for a other job well done read more

We contacted AR-BE Garage Doors to repair our lower garage door panel. Julio came out promptly and advised us that the panel could not be replaced and offered several options. We decided to replace our door and ordered a new one, paying half up front and advised the balance was due at installation. AR-BE Garage Doors contracts with C.H.I. Overhead Doors, one of the top manufacturer of garage doors. Javier came to install the door on Saturday and was very professional and did a fine job. We gave Javier our check for the balance due of $1600.00 and a tip upon completion of the garage installation. What was disturbing is that we received a call from someone identifying himself as the owner of AR-BE at 9:30 am on Sunday morning. He did not ask how our install went or if we were happy. He was only calling to make sure we made our final payment. We would have given AR-BE five stars but for the Sunday morning call. read more

AR-BE Garage Doors - Garage Door Services Near Me

They were prompt and courteous. The technician fixed my problem in a timely manner. He even showed me what to do to prevent my issue from popping back up again! Thank you! read more

AR-BE was great to work with. They did a great job fixing our garage door after we had a spring break, and they installed a new torsion spring. The process was quick, easy, and now the door runs smoothly. They were very easy to communicate with. And, importantly, they price was fair. Lastly, they stand by their work with a mutli-year guarantee, at no additional cost. read more

This company cancelled my appt twice, each time within a couple hours of appt time. I live in Chicago. I needed my opener fixed so garage door would not open again after closing. I took off work, twice, but my door is not fixed. AR-BE replaced my door opener many years ago with larger motor opener, taking considerable $ for their efforts, and returned 6 years ago to replace two springs for $195.00. Guess my current repair was not a big enough job, as they told me they had no crew in Chicago both times they cancelled, even tho their website says they are the best in Chicago. I will never use this company, refer anyone to them, nor use them as a supplier in my property management job. read more

If your in need of a garage door installed professionally by skilled employees I recommend AR-BE Garage Doors.

I highly recommend this company. read more

For the last few days the garage suddenly started malfunctioning. I swept around and wiggled the little node detectors but something was still a problem. Called ar-be and Dave, the owner called me back within 24 hours and met me the following morning. He quickly spotted the problem, nothing mechanical, a small adjustment. With a few quick checks Dave was off and refused to ask for a payment since it was such a quick easy fix. I know everyone needs every penny they are due, but his kindness for the value of my business was astounding and beyond kind. Not to mention the door works smoothly and perfectly. This is my 3rd very positive encounter with this business during the life of my garage! A lifetime customer here! read more

I don't write many reviews but they deserve the recognition. I called at 11am and they were able to schedule me for same day service, very courteous company, from the technician to the customer service rep. I told them my garage door wouldn't close, kept getting tripped by the sensor even though there wasn't an obstruction. The green light was on so I wasn't sure what it could be. Scott, the technician, took a look at told me that it sometimes does this, all it needs is an adjustment so it shines brighter, it's only noticeable when you get up close to the sensor light hat you can see a slight flicker. He adjusted the sensor/light and quickly fixed my issue. He didn't want to charge because it took him all of 2 minutes to fix, didn't even give me a chance to offer him some lunch money. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who ask. read more

Our manual garage door cable snapped, so our door wouldn't open and we don't have a service door. Ugh! We called AR-BE on Friday morning and they came within an hour to check out the door. After determining that the only way to get in would ruin our current garage door, we were given the option to tear it off and replace it. They knew this wasn't the ideal option, but there wasn't really any other choice. They came out the very next morning and had the job done quickly and at a very reasonable price. I couldn't be more happy! They were friendly, professional, and I will be recommending them to friends and family. read more

AR-BE installed a new garage door in our home Sep 2019 and it works great! Yesterday I called AR-BE to come out and see what is causing my door opening switch to work incorrectly, (Note: when the door was installed the rep said my motor was working fine and didn't need replacement). Anyway the owner of AR-BE Garage Door came out today, in 90 degree heat, and quickly found that the photo eyes just needed to be adjusted, which he did, and the opener switch worked correctly as it should. The owner, as a courtesy to a customer, charged me nothing for the service call. I highly recommend AR-BE Garage Doors to anyone that wants a garage door installed or service. read more

My mother recently had AR-BE Garage Doors install a new Lift Master garage door opener and she was very satisfied with the product and the service of everyone she dealt with. She said everything was done quickly with excellent service all the way around. read more

I had AR-BE come out to repair the garage door track. Victor came out and did the repair. I asked Victor for a quote for a new garage door opener. They quoted almost $700. I asked Victor if he could install the opener if I bought one myself (knowing they don't cost that much). He quoted me $150, we set up a day/ time for install. He didn't show up 2 times. On the 3rd day he showed up 1 1/2 hours late. He installed it and said if you have any problems, contact me, not AR-BE as this is a "side job" and I don't want to lose my job. The opener is not functioning properly, it opens/closes part way and stops. I called him 3 days in a row with no response. Today I contacted the company and spoke to Dave who indicated he was the manager. I explained the situation to him & he said sorry they are independent contractors. They don't work for us. "There is nothing I can do to help you. We just give them the jobs." I said they are representing you when they show up side job or not, in your company truck. He repeated "sorry I can't help you." I told him that I was referred to this company & I would never refer them to anybody. He didn't care. Very bad customer service!!! read more

Cancelled on me TWICE with short notice due to being "down a service crew member." The first time, I thought maybe someone called in sick. The second time they revealed that they just didn't have enough appointments in my area to make it worth coming out. Why did they book an appointment then?! I rearranged my work schedule two weeks in a row so I could be home for the repair. They may do good work - if they actually show up. read more

I am very happy with the garage door that was installed. It looks great and Dave the owner is very professional. My garage door broke (it was very old) Dave came out and was able to replace it the next day. He said his team will have it done before end of the work day and it was done as promised. read more

My garage door had a broken spring. I called on Monday and was given a two hour window for repair the next day. Dave the owner called me from the driveway, when he arrived. He was done on twenty minutes. He was pleasant and efficient, and did a great job. I wouldn't hesitate to call Ar-Be again. Top notch service. read more

AR-BE was recommended to us be a friend whose father had recently used their services. The owner was quick to return our initial call and quick to come out to give us a quote on a new door, tracks and the different options available. He was also quick to return the few following calls before we decided to go with them. Once we decided to go with AR-BE, they put us on the schedule within two days. They arrived when they said they would and new door and system was installed quickly with no issues. They were very easy to deal with from start to finish. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AR-BE GARAGE DOORS. read more

I called AR-BE on Thursday and they came the next day. I was given a 4 hour window with phone confirmation a half hour before arrival. The young service man was pleasant knowledgeable and efficient. My garage door had just stopped working as if the electricity had been cut. The young man figured out the problem and quickly got it running. Then oiled all door parts that needed oiling and did some simple maintenance. All was done quickly. Reasonable pricing too. I was very satisfied with the service call. I will be calling them in the future if I need garage door help again. read more

Fantastic customer service and Response time! I reached out for a quote for a new opener on Friday evening of Memorial Day weekend! Was not expecting a response back until well after the Holiday! Dave called the very next morning with quote AND offered installation same day! You don't find many companies like this anymore, way to go Dave and AR-BE! Thank you!! read more

Dave, the owner, came on time to my home to check why my garage door would not close, bouncing back open. It took him about 30 seconds to discover that the handle was loose and coming in sight of the electronic eye, which sent the door to open. He fastened the loose handle with a new screw and all was perfect! He refused to accept any payment! This is my second encounter with AR-BE; they installed the garage opener about 5 years ago. Thank you, Dave! You will always have my business. read more

Great service!!! Efficient, fast, provided the details of the work needed to be done, and completed the job! Thank you so much for the great service from the phone call to the technician completing the job! read more

These people are u professional and their "family-owned" business is a joke. My family also runs a business and they would NEVER treat their customers the way I've been treated the past 3 days. The 1st day, the guys truck broke down, the 2nd day the guy just couldn't make it, no reason given... the 3rd day today... their receptionist ( most likely a relative) DOWNRIGHT LIED saying that she called me numerous times and she "made notes about it". She must be archaic not to understand that you CANT LIE about calling because phones hold the record... idiot! Then I hear the excuse oh ur in Chicago.....well... like how is this guy traveling... by pony express??? Oak Lawn and Chicago are 20 mins away from each other??!! WTF! Well.... there goes buying a door from Ar Be......because if this is how they treat customers needing a door fixed .... I can imagine how they treat customers AFTER they've purchased a door.... pathetic way to run a business read more

Had a door opener installed. Called for a quote and had the service completed within a week. Would definitely recommend them.
