I called after hours freaking out cause my garage door wouldn't open and I couldn't get into my house. 30 min later - I got a call from Nathan saying he was 15 min out. He came and did a full inspection and realized I needed new springs. He gave a couple options with price and after I approved - work was completed then and within an hour. Now I can get in and out of my house again!!! Thank you door forms and Nathan for your quick and courteous service. read more

Great job. Responded quickly when I was in a pinch. Very neat and professional. Good job Nate and Matt. Would use them again. Worked very quickly to get the job done. read more

Our garage door system is old and gave up on us. I contacted Door Dorks and they were at our house the next day! Nathan and Matthew were very professional, nice and patient explained all the details with the new system (maintenance, how to use) and such after their installation. Highly recommended! read more

When our garage door stopped working, we needed a repair fast. Door Dorks sent a tech out to us that same day which was great. Adam was very thorough. He walked us through the cause of the problem with the opener and inspected every other part of the system - the door, track, wheels, hinges and the springs. He even tightened several very loose hinges before we had decided to accept their proposal. Nice! He explained the feature comparison of the replacement options. We selected a Liftmaster system based on a couple of key points: first, it comes with a solid belt drive track, not a multi-piece track like those sold at the home improvement stores. Multi-piece tracks have more stress points that can make them more vulnerable in the long run. Second, it had the best warranty coverage with five years on the motor and lifetime on the other components. Third, it integrated an app (MyQ) and a remote keypad, both of which have already proved useful. Adam installed most of the system that same day, only needing a second visit because the particular opener we selected had been installed at the previous customer, so he had to return to the office. We recommend Door Dorks and Adam for fast, high quality service. read more

I saw a truck in my neighborhood and I needed help with myq for our garage doors. Gave them a call. Couldn't have been nicer. They came out the same day. I decided to go a different route after speaking to Matt in person. We got new garage door motors. Couldn't be happier. We're very happy with Matt's work. I highly recommend Door Dorks! read more

Nathan communicated with me about when he would arrive, gave me a fair quote, and finished his work efficiently. We had another door company out for an estimate the day before Nathan came out, and he wanted to charge us double what Door Dorks quoted. Then he came down on his price repeatedly when we balked. Door dorks was a much better process. read more

I scoured the internet for Garage Door Tune Up companies and found MANY. I turned to Yelp/Google/Nextdoor.com reviews and developed a short list of highly rated companies. Before contacting each company, I checked to confirm they held a CA contractor's license in good standing, BBB, and reviewed their websites. After contacting each company, I decided to go with Door Dorks. We could not be happier with our choice and would highly recommend them for garage door maintenance and/or repair. We can't speak to their installation services, but I am betting, they are equally good. Our reasons for recommending Door Dorks are as follows: 1) Communication, Communication, Communication!! - I first contacted Door Dorks on 8/27 after their scheduled close time. I reached their after-hours answering service. I informed the service that it was not an urgent matter and would contact the company the next day during business hours. About 30 minutes later, I received a call from Gina. She stated that she had seen my number come up on the company's caller ID and wanted to know how she could help. I told her that I was planning to call the next day as it was after hours. She told me there was no need, that she was still at the office and would be happy to help me. Wow! She spent the next 20 minutes answering my questions regarding service, pricing, etc. I told her that I had a few more companies to speak with and would contact her in a day or so if we decided to go with Door Dorks. Needless to say, I was impressed with her initiative and taking the time after hours to speak with me. Once we made the decision to use Door Dorks, the exceptional communication continued. Once the appointment was booked, we received both an e-mail and text confirmation. The night before the service, we received another reminder. The morning of the service, we received another reminder with the name/picture of our technician. The technician contacted us by phone/text about 30 minutes prior to arrival to let us know that he was on his way. We received detailed reports regarding our service, complete with photos, as well as an invoice and a customer satisfaction document with detailed warranty information. The technician clearly explained the service, what he found and recommendations for repairs/enhancements, but did not push or upsell any services. Following service, we also received a request to rate the service technician. Lastly, we received an e-mail from the company with an incentive to recommend other clients, if we were happy with the service received. Pretty impressive! 2) Price: Door Dorks had a promotion for a tune up which reduced their standard tune up price about $30. They were also featuring a 10% Yelp discount for any additional parts/service, if needed. We found the tune up price comparable or less than other companies. 3) Service Technician: Matt was our service technician. He texted about 30 minutes prior to arrival to let us know he was on his way and arrived on time. He was pleasant, polite and highly knowledgeable. He clearly explained the tune up process and answered all of my questions clearly and concisely. At the end of the service, he showed me everything that he had done and recommended (3) potential repairs/replacements and explained the rationale for his recommendations. He also showed me the exact pricing of the repairs/replacements but did not hard sell. He explained that (2) of the (3) recommendations were not critical, but he would recommend doing them at some point to extend the life of the door. The third recommendation was for the weather seal replacement at the bottom of the door which was clearly sun damaged/dried out, not sealing well and portions of it were missing allowing both potential weather and small animal intrusion. We agreed to have this replaced and it was done beautifully. At the end of the service call, he confirmed that all work that we had wanted had been performed to our satisfaction. He provided all documentation and invoice via e-mail. The space was left as clean or cleaner than it was when he arrived. 4) Warranty/Follow Up: Following service, I put the garage door down. When the door reached the ground, it bounced back up. I hit the button again and the door went down and closed. I chalked this up to the new weather strip at the bottom being thicker than the previous one. It happened the following day as well, so I contacted Door Dorks to let them know, just in the event that it continued. I spoke with Jason who informed me that the system probably just needed a minor adjustment based on the new weather strip and he would send a technician out in 1.5 days on Saturday. On Saturday, Matthew arrived and was equally as pleasant, polite and knowledgeable as the original technician, Matt. He made the needed adjustment quickly and tested the door several times before departure to ensure it was working. 5) Customer Service: See all items above! read more

Our first time using Door Dorks, and can honestly say that it was a great experience. We needed a tune-up and diagnostics after more than 20 yrs-- and a lot of clattering as the door opened and closed. It was easy to get an appt via web-text. Technician Matt Costa arrived and performed a thorough evaluation of the problem. A nice guy with a ton of experience, he worked efficiently to repair the problems and troubleshoot possible future issues. I learned a lot about garage doors and he gave me confidence that we were in good hands. read more

Alfonso was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to diagnose the issue and provided multiple options that helped me make my decision to update my garage door motor, etc. He completed the job in less than two hours. I'm so happy with not just a functioning but a more efficient garage door. Definitely will recommend Alfonso and Door Dorks. read more

Adam Carcione with Door Dorks was awesome! He was attentive, explained clearly what he needed to do for the repair, how to maintain the garage and was quick and thorough with his work. The price was fair and again they went over exactly what I would be paying for. Adam fixed what we needed fix and made it even better than what it previously was. We have used Door Dorks a few times now and I will always recommend them, as well as Adam to anyone. read more

Our old garage door motor from 1998 completely stopped working, and I soon found out it was also far too heavy for me to open manually. My friend recommended door dorks to me and they were able to come check it out the next day and identify that not only was the motor broken but it had the wrong springs which was making it hard to open manually. Within 1 day Matt came back and fixed everything on it and now it works perfectly! I'd highly recommend this company if you need high quality work that's done quickly from nice people! read more

Adam was on-time, very knowledgeable and very efficient. He quickly diagnosed what was wrong with our 20 year old garage door opener. He installed a new one in less than an hour at a very reasonable cost. His customer service was great. He re-programmed our cars which we were not expecting. And, when we needed help a couple of hours later he called us right back and talked us through how to correct the user mistake we had made when we were setting up an additional temporary code. read more

Door Dorks is Great! This company really has their act together. Very organized, and definitely know their technology - garage doors. We just bought a house that had a Door Dork installed door, and I had no idea how to reprogram the Volvo's Homelink, the Hyundai's remote, and the remote outside the garage door. Nathan came right on time, (a little early actually - he called me to confirm it was OK - great for me). Knew exactly what was going on, and in no time had everything up and running. Then he did maintenance on our door, and made it run smoother and quieter. I'd strongly recommend Door Dorks, and Nathan, for anyone looking for a good garage door at a great price (even if the name is weird). ...Rick read more

Terrible experience. Over 400 reviews at 4.9 star average so it's a no brainer, right? Wrong. Called at 10am on a Saturday, explained I wanted a replaced garage opener ASAP. They said someone would be out between 3-5 same day. I asked how they could replace it same day, and the response was that their technicians have different units on the truck to install. Ballpark, $600. Great! Come on out, we'll move our plans. 3:00. 4;00, 4:30, I call. "He's finishing up another job and should be calling you soon." 5:00. 5:10 he calls to tell me he can come at 6:00, and I know to replace a unit he's going to be there at least an hour, which is too late for us. Not the end of the world. Reschedule for 1:00-3:00 next day. Guy shows up, tells us that because our door is so large and heavy, it's going to be ~$1100, they don't carry those on the truck, and that'll be $60 for coming out anyway. (Or starts doing an inspection I didn't ask for, and that's what the $60 is for). Tells my 120lb wife to try opening the 1000lb garage door to prove how bad our springs are, when a simple "your springs are bad" would suffice. The worst part, besides two days of ruined plans and delays where others could have been fixing it, and being charged for a service fee I was not initially made aware of, was the feeling of being stuck. The same feeling when you're at the mechanic, your car is up on the jacks, and they tell you its going to cost WAY more than you initially expected and also here is a list of other things they found during the inspection so would you like them to get started? I felt icky from the whole experience. read more

Huge thank you for the fast, professional care Door Dorks provided at my parents' home! I requested a quote over Yelp and their response was well within the 10 min average response time. From the Yelp and phone conversations I had with their staff and Adam who was able to come out same day provided additional relief knowing we could have the home secured right away. Adam was efficient, professional, and personable during the whole process from diagnosing the issue to being able to jump right into the repair. From my first inquiry to a finished repair, the whole process took approximately 3 hours and I couldn't be happier to know that we wouldn't have to prolong this repair past 24 hours from the break happening. read more

Start to finish 5 star. Friendly customer service and excellent work. Nathan installed a numeric key pad for garage door at a great price. Will use them again in the future! read more

The company has been super responsive and showed up on time as promised and Adam walked me through the problem and now I have a working garage door that runs a lot smoother than before. Highly recommend read more

Garage door spring broke, and the bottom panel cracked and popped out. They came out and repaired everything, replaced worn rollers and cables and had me fully functional again in two hours. I felt really comfortable with the explanation and he broke down the "have to dos" vs "should do soon" in case I didn't want to spend the full amount. read more

Adam did a great job with a motor replacement and door adjustment recently. I am very pleased with the work!

Could not ask for a better experience with Door Dorks and Alfonso. My garage door wasn't shutting fully when I went to leave in the morning, they were able to fit me in the same day, clearly explained the problem, gave me a fair price, and fixed it all in the same service window. And even though they could have tried to upsell me and convince me i needed a new door, the repair they offered was what I needed at a fraction of the price. read more

Door dorks! What a really fun business name . Last year we bought a home and it didn't come with a garage, so we had one built via tuff shed. Seems as though tuff shed works with local contractors for certain stuff such as the garage doors. Our garage door was on back order for about over a month because ya know... Importing and exporting goods are kind of still slow post the Rona. Anywho, door dorks finally received our garage door and they were fast! They had someone come out the next day once they had our garage door. John Strunk was our guy and he did a really great job! He was very polite and informative with any questions I had. He literally installed our garage door within 2 hours, an hour less than what was originally told to us the previous day. Nice clean job! Someone give this guy a raise! Lol. Anyway! Highly recommended if you are looking for a great local business for your garage doors! read more

Our garage door spring broke on Christmas Day, so we couldn't even manually open it. Called Door Dorks the next morning. They'd installed our door/opener for the previous owner. They didn't have an appointment until the next day but put me on a list in case a technician finished another job early. Alfonso ended up becoming available that afternoon. He came on time, inspected everything, gave me three different options, then completed the work as agreed and left everything cleaner than it was when he arrived. Alfonso also explained how to maintain the new and original parts so we hopefully won't need them again for many years. read more

My garage door was getting a little hinky, so I contacted Door Dorks to see about aligning the tracks and whatever else might be needed to keep it reliable. One of the things I will not do is play with the spring on garage doors; they can be lethal when they break loose. Nathan came out on schedule and did a survey of the mechanism and gave me several quotes based on the options I selected. I chose to have him install a second spring for a two-car garage, which makes the door easier to open and puts less strain on the motor. Some of the original plastic rollers were showing cracks, so Nathan replaced all of them with nylon rollers. The two-piece linkage bar was replaced by a stronger single bar. All the work and cleanup was done in about two hours. If you're a homeowner and want one less thing to worry about, give Door Dorks a call. read more

Our garage door stopped working over the weekend. I called Door Dorks Sunday and they were amazing to chat to. Over the phone the Lady took care of us with full compassion care and attention to detail she was very patient. She got us on the schedule for next day (Monday morning at 8 am). Adam texted me first thing in the morning and called me to follow up and let me know his exact ETA. He came on time and was super professional and knowledgeable. Adam knows what he is talking about. He inspected the garage door and clearly communicated what went wrong and what is needed to repair efficiently and very clearly. He fixed it, completed inspection, and performed general maintenance. Adam was amazing I really appreciate his professionalism, attention to detail, clarity, communication, and honesty. Adam and Door Dorks are my garage door go to guys from now on. I will be passing the contact and recommend Adam and Door Dorks to all my neighbors. Thank you for a great quality, professionalism, and fair pricing. read more

Another small issue with my garage door was taken care of on a Sunday!
