Wouldn't you know just weeks after I bought new remotes (old ones died) for our Genie garage door opener, the motor decides to quit. This is our second time using K.G.; both times have been problem-free. Came Friday at the scheduled time to diagnose the motor, got the door to work once and then it refused to budge. Since the Genie was from 1992, and we've had to replace everything else associated with this house, not surprising. So we needed a new opener and he recommended Chamberlain, which is a good brand. Showed up on time today, got straight to work (no-nonsense and very efficient), no mess from any of the dismantling or re-wiring, and left old parts as asked so I could scrap them. read more

KG Doors was awesome. Great pricing and easy to work with. I ended up with the nicer door because he was the only vendor who could seem to get it without a two week wait. Love my new garage door! read more

I found KG Doors & Gates from a Yelp search. I need some iron rod fence work, so I headed to Yelp to find some vendors. I connected with Josh, and he was prompt and professional. My review is solely based on the estimate experience, and Josh came out during the agreed time window and was very straightforward with listening and explaining what the best solution would be to complete my project. I'm incredibly grateful because I understand July tends to be a busy season and it is tough to get a contractor out to the property for estimates .I'm looking forward to receiving my quote. read more

Excellent experience with Josh and KG doors. I called and asked for an estimate; he got back to me immediately with a fair price (half the estimate a competitor gave us) and was there the next day for the repair. Arrived on time and completely resolved the issue. I wish we had found this company sooner. Highly recommend! read more

Similar to other reviews, Joshua makes an appointment, and didn't show up. He messaged me the day off, when he was supposed to meet me, stating that he had another job to finish. I had stayed home from work to meet him. He said he would come by later in the afternoon, but in the end again didn't show or message either this time. read more

Did not show up for appointment for estimate and did not return call when I asked if/when he would arrive. Others have noted same issue. Unfortunately I took time off work to meet them. read more

On time, great communication, and professional work. Josh is very knowledgeable and made the whole process easy. I highly recommend KG Doors to anyone looking to replace or fix their gate. read more

I contacted this company because of the good reviews. Josh got back to me right away, and we scheduled a free estimate for an electric gate install. He called the day of the mtg to cancel and reschedule - his previous appointment took longer than expected - etc. So we scheduled for the following day. On my way to the rescheduled meeting, I was running about 10 minutes late - due to traffic, so I called to let him know, and when he answered, it took him a moment to remember - and then he remembered that he forgot to call me to cancel ..... I was taken aback - but I understand how time can get away from you, and that things come up - and I needed a bid, so I rescheduled again, for the following morning - asking for a call before the appointment. I did not receive a call - my call went straight to voicemail - and I still have not received any kind of message. I would've much preferred him telling me he didn't have the time, rather than to waste mine. read more

Josh and Andy from KG Doors are great! Josh provided a fast and fair estimate for replacing our old garage door. Andy did a terrific job installing the new door, despite the very limited space for mounting the tracks. Highly recommended! read more

The lock on the door we had installed a mere 10 months ago stopped working, so I called to ask Josh to come take a look at it, since the receipt I got said there was a 3-year warranty on parts. Well, turns out that Josh has moved to Arizona, sold the phone number of his business to another door company. The new door company has no intention of honoring any of Josh's previous work (understandable, I suppose), so now we have to call someone else to fix it. In other words, this door company has changed hands recently, so if you had work done in the past, be aware that the warranty might not be valid anymore. read more

I just had my sliding cantilever gate completed and it looks great. It took about 3 visits since the concrete had to set but it was fast, efficient, and quality work. read more

KG Doors & Gates - Sliding cantilever gate with treated horizontal pine and stained - Garage Door Services Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Quick response and fair pricing for our iron gate that wouldn't close anymore. We will use them again for any future needs.

We live in west Humboldt Park. Have now used KG Doors twice: First time, garage door (two-car) needed repair after sub-par neighborhood-guy-type 'fixed' it after the door fell off its tracks. Two guys showed up on time, fixed quickly, very reasonable price. And I think they adjusted the rollers and/or tracks, too. Second time (today), Josh came (snowstorm, still on time), fixed wiring leading to the sensor, which was burned due to a fire. Fixed quickly, again super-reasonable price. Highly recommended if they're in you're neighborhood (or their range, or whatever). read more

Josh and KG company are excellent. Josh and crew replaced my 16' garage door (door, rails, sensors, wiring, opener, springs) AND repaired (welded) a broken iron gate in less than 1/2 day. Guy has an arc welder on his truck. Ignore the negative reviews about his appointments...I called him and had an on-site quote in 2 days and all work completed same week. His prices are fair. He's my go-to door and gate guy from now on. read more

I called KG Doors about our broken garage door opener. Within 3 hours Josh was done installing the replacement. He was prompt and professional and his work was solid. Thanks. There is nothing better than finding a contractor who your comfortable recommending. read more

I called and made an appointment for early afternoon, and found out in the morning I could do it earlier and Josh came before our original scheduled time. Josh is very professional, nice and did the job I wanted. Josh completed the job within the hour. I was happy with the price I was quoted and will always call KG doors and gates for all my repairs going forward. I would highly recommend Josh to all. read more

I had a pleasure dealing with them for my garage trouble. Showed up on tome woth all necessary equipment and supplies; did job promptly and professionally. And neatly, too - no loose screw or nail left behind. read more

These guys rock! As is always the case, without warning my garage door took a crap right in the middle of the day and just got stuck at the halfway point. I called three other places before I got to KG. KG was the only place to say "We'll be there in an hour"! Josh came over as promised and had my door fixed in fifteen minutes! Awesome, awesome work! read more

I was having a problem finding someone to come out and add new locks to our condos gates. Everyone I kept speaking with seemed somewhat suspect and another group didn't even show on multiple occasions. Finally touched in with Josh at KG Doors and he was great. Came when he said, gave me what I considered a fair quote, and turned around and completed the job. He communicated great and let me know everything as it went down. If you are looking for someone I highly recommend these guys. Don't waste your time looking around - just call - it would have saved me weeks of hassle. read more

Josh came by my house on a Friday to assess the problem with my garage. He told me it needed to be replaced and he would be out to do it in Monday between 9-10. He took half the cost for as a deposit. Come Monday, he did not show up. I called several times, left multiple messages, and attempted to message him on yelp with no response. So now he has my money and didn't show up for the job or respond to my inquiries about what is going on. I'm really disappointed. read more

We've been using this firm for years now, and every time they arrive promptly, just when promised, get right to work, and fix whatever was wrong with their great experience and technical skills. They're cordial, charge a fair price,and never try to sell you anything you don't need. What else could you ask for? Highest recommendation. read more

Had a sliding gate (wood/metal combo) built by KG last August. Was really excited after I got it put up. I agree with everyone else that these guys are on time, and definitely quick at their work. However, not even a full year into it, and I have several deep rust spots all over the black paint and the gate has a funny lean developing to it. During building, I was on a budget so I couldn't jump to the cedar upgrade, and I regret that in hindsight. My treated boards are all warped and funky looking now. I'm going to end up having to remove all the boards and replace them as well as sand, prime, and repaint the rusty areas. Probably end up doing it myself because I want to make sure every nook and cranny is covered. Want to make sure it lasts because the gate wasn't cheap. Not sure if I was an anomaly with the experience...I really liked working with these guys. Just wished the outcome was better. read more

KG doors saved me $2500. They were honest, thorough, quick and affordable. I highly recommend them. Our gate was broken, as it always seems to be. Repeatedly fixing it was killing our condo budget. A big problem was the string of completely irresponsible and shady gate repair companies. Gate mechanisms aren't too complicated, but they're still complicated enough that the average guy doesn't know how to fix them, or if the repair person is being honest. The first THREE repair places we contacted all said the same thing: you need to replace the entire operating unit, it will cost $3000. I called a few other places, one of them was KG doors. Josh, the owner, was quick to come out and provide a free estimate. His diagnosis: a squirrel had gotten into the gate box and chewed through a small but vital wiring area. His estimate to replace the parts, get the gate running again, AND squirrel-proof the gate box? Under $500. If we would have paid the $3000 to one of the other repair companies who were too lazy or deceptive to find the real problem, we'd probably have the same problem again next year, since they would have blindly replaced the whole system and ignored the true cause: diabolical squirrels. This is exactly why I'm glad Yelp exists. The good guys like Josh are out there, treating customers fairly and I hope this helps him continue to build his reputation and business. read more

I had a small job. I just needed the electronic arm replaced on my existing gate. I called the company that originally installed everything. They blew me off. So I called Josh at KG and he did everything perfectly. He returned my call in a prompt manner. He told me the price right over the phone. We made an appointment to install. He came out the next week and on time. He removed the broken arm & installed the new one. That was May/2015 and the device has worked perfectly since. He even threw in a free remote!! I can't say enough good things about this company read more

I called Josh (the owner) to replace a garage door opener for my business. Originally, the garage door could go up and a screened garage door could be lowered. If the garage door was down, a safety would prevent the screened door from being lowered. However, Josh incorrectly installed the opener, so now the safety does not work - one door lowers on top of the other, falls off the track, and jams. I have called Josh numerous times; each time he says he will correct the installation, but he never shows up. It seems that he doesn't know how to fix the problem. His neglect and lack of follow-through is extremely unprofessional. I would NEVER recommend this company. read more

My garage door stopped working a few days ago. I don't have a "garage door guy" so I decided to jump on Yelp and take a look. After reading up on a few companies I decided to call KG. Josh answered the phone and we had a short convo about the situation. I told him I happened to take the day off and was on my way back from Wisconsin but I would be home by 2pm. I knew it was short notice but I was hoping he could squeeze me in today and he did. Josh showed up when he said he was going to, got right to work, did a thorough job, and went over everything with me. He answered any questions I had and charged me a fair price. I look forward to using him again. Thanks Josh! read more

We called today & Josh came out & repaired an issue with our residential wrought iron gate (same day). It was reacting as if there was an obstruction in the way. He was able to rectify the issue at a comparable rate! The service was great, the customer service was awesome. We will ABSOLUTELY use them again! read more

I called because one of the chains on my clients garage door got unleashed. I couldn't leave the garage door in the condition it was in but I needed to go. My call was picked up right away. I realize my expectation to have someone come out on a short notice was a difficult proposition from the moment I made the call. However, Josh said he would be out as soon as possible and he exceeded my expectations. He got there within a couple hours and took care of my problem in no time. Grateful for his skills, commitment to service and his clear communication. I totally recommend KG Door and I especially recommend Josh! Pricing was very reasonable and I'm a very happy customer. read more

A spring on our garage door broke. We called in on Saturday morning and by that afternoon, the door was fixed! We were happy with their prompt service and affordable rate. We'll definitely use them again. read more

Professional service at an affordable price! Good communication and was on-time. Worked fast and did all of the cleanup. What more could you want from a company? Highly recommended! read more

Called these guys on a thursday, got a really reasonable quote. Decided to have the work done on the following saturday, these guys were here within hours and had the work done fast! I will recommend them to anyone who asks. read more

Josh was very professional with reasonable prices. I would highly recommend KG doors and Gates for all your garage needs.

It took less than 1/2 hour for Josh to install new springs, lubricate and check over the whole mechanism and note things to watch for with my unit and others in the garage. He came just as scheduled (we kept on track with calls & texts when I had to change the time) exactly as quoted ($195) and is a very nice guy. KG's price was almost $100 less than another vendor I found on Yelp. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! read more

All around great service. Quick response time, quality work, and great prices. We've used Josh on numerous occasions for our troublesome gate and he has proven to be quite reliable. read more

I recently bought a condo and the previous owner left us a garage door opener, uninstalled. We called around to a few places and KG was able to offer prompt next day service for a VERY reasonable price. Two guys came out and installed it for us. They were both very courteous. One of the tracks was also not long enough and bent and a roller kept coming off. The guys fixed it and didn't charge extra. Definitely recommended. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Called KG (Josh) about a broken door at 730am on a Saturday. He called back within 15 mins and was here about 20 mins later. Fixed the door in 30 mins, and at a great price. Pretty much a perfect experience. read more

KG Doors came to my house at 8:30 PM after my garage door came off of it's track and jammed. They were able to fix it right away. The person that showed up was very friendly and knowledgeable and worked quickly. There prices were also very reasonable. read more

Josh has done several jobs at different locations for me. He's always been prompt, efficient, and fair. He's a true pleasure to do business with. Highest possible commendation. read more

I own & operate a small property management firm - and have used around 7 different overhead door/gate companies through the years. Josh & KG Doors are by far the best - the most responsive, communicative, and thorough. They stand behind their work and will make sure that any problems or issues are resolved completely. In Chicago, we obviously have difficult seasons to work outdoors, but that has never stopped KG from getting the job done. Highly recommend. read more

Couldn't be more pleased. Josh answered the phone and came right over to check out my garage door that was stuck open. One of the wheels had jumped the track. He fixed it, found a broken hinge and replaced it, straightened out a bent beem, added some extra screws for reinforcement, and did some other maintenance without upping his original quote. Prompt, professional, polite. Thank you! read more
