My garage door was making a horribly scary noise and closing with a solid "thud". I had lost the sticker above the garage door opener that the previous repairman had stuck the wall. It was a blessing in disguise, losing that sticker! I found Vonhoffman GDS on Yelp and called. Thomas was efficient and organized on the call, and said he could come in about 2 hours! Fabulous! He arrived, made his assessment, explained everything succinctly, and got to work! About an hour later, Thomas was finished and reviewed everything with my husband and encouraged us to call if we needed anything else! So, there is a new sticker on my wall over my garage opener. read more

I had such a great experience working with Vonhoffman Garage Door Services. I called Saturday after 5 PM, and Tom still made the time to come out on Sunday at a time that worked perfectly for me. By Monday at 10 AM, everything was already done, super fast turnaround! I had accidentally backed into my garage door, which caused the weatherstripping to come off and left a dent in one of the panels. Tom clearly explained my options and gave me very reasonable pricing for both repairing the damage and replacing the panel. I decided to go ahead and replace the entire panel, and he didn't waste any time, he picked it up first thing the next morning and had it installed right away. He was professional, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend him if you need garage door repairs done quickly and done right! read more

Thomas was great, got here early, made good sound, economical suggestions for my builder grade door that's always given me some sort of issue because it's a cheap door with plastic rollers. He made sure the track was nice and strong with no kinks the builder left behind. Highly recommend! Peace of mind the door is fixed right away! read more

We needed a new garage door opener installed and found very good reviews here on Yelp. Tom did not disappoint! He exceeded expectations: he was immediately responsive, able to come the same day and was professional in all aspects. His price was very reasonable, which included parts and labor. We also appreciated his knowledge and competence, and especially his honesty . Our garage door works beautifully and is so much quieter than it previously was. We highly recommend Vonhoffman GDS ! Tom deserves 10 stars ! read more

Called them at 12:30 on a Friday / after past repair guy kept delaying after 3 days and several promised times. Tom was here by 2 ... replaced our key pad , reprogrammed both doors and checked everything! Professional, helpful and was here when promised! I now have a new garage door repair company! Can't recommend enough read more

Found 1st Affordable Garage Doors on Yelp. We were looking for someone to install an opener for our garage door. Thomas (owner) provided a very reasonable quote. We didn't actually get around to scheduling the installation for almost 2 months after receiving the quote. We got it done Saturday morning. He was prompt and got it done within an hour and a half. Very pleased with his work and professionalism. Will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for some garage door work done. read more

Thomas Hoffman was quick to respond, affordable and fast. He arrived when he said he would and even came later to install a keypad for me. He served our country for many years and he's a hard worker. Don't hesitate to call him. read more

Came on the same day I called and did an exceptional job. The technician was excellent and I am completely satisfied. If I have other garage door issues in the future, 1st Affordable Garage Door will be my first call. read more

I had garage door cables pop off and the door would not open. The owner came out late afternoon on Halloween to help me out. Installed new springs and resolved the issue in less than an hour, charged a very reasonable price, lubed all doors, and gave me helpful advice to plan for eventual replacement since my units are almost 30 years old. Awesome service! Highly recommend. read more

I highly recommend this company for any garage door issues you have. Thomas is very professional, knowledgeable and skilled at what he does. He also responds and communicates quickly. read more

After spending weeks trying to get a pair of garage door openers installed and dealing with a number of high-priced and/or flakey installers, I found 1st Affordable Garage Doors on Yelp. After submitting a quote, request, I quickly had an email from Thomas with some information and called him in hopes of scheduling an in-person quote. On the phone, Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of the questions I had about the openers, remotes, and installation process, and was able to confidently provide a quote over the phone. While I'd initially worried about the lead time, Thomas was able to squeeze us into his installation schedule and came out the next day to install a pair of openers. Just as he was on the phone, he was knowledgable, patient, and extremely quick -- getting both openers installed in a couple of hours. If you're in the market for new openers, I would highly recommend Thomas and 1st Affordable Garage doors for the task. Thanks, Thomas! read more

Great response time, friendly service, reasonable price and solved all my problems quickly. Highly recommended!!

Thomas was such a pleasure to work with. I called on a Friday afternoon, and he was able to come out to assess my garage on Saturday. Thomas was friendly and he quickly diagnosed the issue. He ordered the required parts and was back to install the motor on Tuesday. He charged a fair price, and he was trustworthy. Our garage door is working great now. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in the Nashville area. Thank you Thomas! read more

Our kid drove a golf cart into our overhead garage door before it had completely opened overhead causing the bottom section to come out of the track and the tension wire to unspool. Of course this was late in the evening on Sunday and it was raining. I couldn't raise or shut the door. We called 1st Affordable and they responded within a couple of hours. Within 10 minutes Thomas had our door fixed and for what I thought was a minimal charge. Absolutely outstanding customer service, attention to detail, and overall a pleasant experience. I will only deal with Thomas and his company in the future for our garage door needs. Thank you again for helping us out in a bad situation. Ray B. read more

If you need any garage work I Definitely recommend 1st affordable, Thomas was quick and professional. . Thank you.

Excellent install!!!!! Easy to book quickly and awesome fair quality work ! Professional attitude and easy to work with. Affordable too quiet garage!!! Never had one this quiet read more

My garage door and motor was very old and terrible, and the whole thing needed to be replaced. I contacted Thomas, and he came out that day to give me an estimate. I felt the estimate was fair and reasonable and hired him to do the work. Thomas was very easy to work with, and didn't try to sell me things I didn't need. He came to replace it and I love it! He cleaned up after he was done and offered to help me connect it to Wi-Fi so I could operate the door with my phone. He is a man of few words, and is very nice and professional. I recommend him. read more

I called and within a couple of hours service call was complete! Professional, good value, knowledable. Fully recommend

Thomas is amazing! With a simple call, he was able to answer quickly and efficiently offering his services to help repair my garage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

They helped me replace an old garage door and new openers. They were very knowledgeable about pros and cons of different styles of openers. I had a very high ceiling in my garage and they told me about high lift garage doors. The doors now lift vertically and I have eliminated all the low hanging horizontal tracks that look bad and take up so much space. While it is a bit more of an investment, I would really recommend it for someone with higher garage ceilings. They were on time and communicated when they were going to arrive. They also cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend them. read more

We just had the absolute best experience with Thomas at 1st Affordable Garage Door! One of our window panes in our garage door broke a while back. We had several companies provide an assessment but all insisted the only fix was to completely replace the door. Thomas responded to our inquiry in record time! He was extremely knowledgeable, affordable, AND he came out on a holiday (despite us insisting we were fine with any other day). He does do replacements and installations but prefers repair over replace when possible and as long as the cost is worth it in comparison to full replacement. He was extremely responsive, courteous, easy to work with, super fast, clean, and an all around GOOD GUY (he even did a quick tune up before leaving)!! We cannot recommend him highly enough and truly hope this helps his business thrive. He is the owner/operator and is a veteran. If anybody is in need, email or call Thomas! read more

I was heading out to work this morning when the spring on my garage door broke! My car was stuck inside!

Great service. I got a hold of 1st Affordable Garage Door for an issue with our Liftmaster. Thomas was very professional and was able to come out the following day to diagnose what was wrong with our garage door. Thomas is very knowledgeable in all aspects of garage doors and his prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend 1st Affordable Garage Doors for any of you garage door services or needs. read more

Highly recommend! Thomas was outstanding-- all 3 of our garage doors were malfunctioning, he was very helpful & was onsite in less than 4 hours! Fixed all 3 doors, explained what was wrong (in understandable terms!) and was a true pleasure to work with. Thank you again! read more

I came home to a broken garage door and it was a Saturday. I left a message and got an immediate response with a quote which seemed reasonable and some options for available times the repair could be done. The repair was able to be done on the same day. The process was fast and simple! read more

Thomas was prompt and efficient. He was my second call as the first company just said to replace the mechanism on both doors. He was able to quickly fix one door without parts and replaced the torsion bar on the other. I would recommend for a quick and honest estimate and repair. read more

Responsive with excellent product and competitive price. Knowledgeable, professional and top quality installation. Don't hesitate to reach out. You'll be happy you did. read more

Our interaction with Thomas was GREAT!! Our garage door would not let down. We notified our home warranty and were given a next day appointment, which was not good for us. We called Thomas and explained our problem and he stated he could get to us on that day. He called to let us know he was running behind schedule, but would be here within the hour. He came, explained what was wrong, what he was doing to correct the problem, as well as what we could do to solve any future problems. Thomas was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We truly appreciate him coming to our rescue. Thank you, Herbert and Nicole Chatman read more

I had the spring on my garage door break. I had tried with two previous repair companies to get the job done over a one month period. After reading reviews here I put in a request on their website. Within 5 minutes I got a call from them. Another 25 minutes and he was at my door. About a half an hour later he was done. After a month of dealing with no shows and not having parts I am ecstatic to have someone who is prompt and professional get the job done. Instead of using one spring he put in two for me which should last longer and prolong the life of the rest of my garage door parts. All for the same price the other places were going to do for 1 spring. I will be telling everyone to use 1st Affordable Garage Doors for any work they need done on their garage doors. read more

1st Affordable Garage Doors and Thomas were fantastic and I would recommend working with them as I would use them again! I found them via Yelp and Thomas was very responsive when I initially reached out and he was able to quickly get us scheduled for a free consultation. During the initial conversation Thomas did a great job answering our questions (and teaching us some additional things about garage doors we didn't know!), providing recommendations, and explaining the different options we had. After confirming what we wanted to get done, Thomas was very responsive in getting the installation scheduled. The installation process was smooth and the new garage door looks great! The entire process from initial reach out to installation was very smooth - Thomas was responsive and communicative the entire time. I can safely say Thomas would be my go to for any future garage door repair needs. read more

Thomas has great communication skills and expertise in garage door repair. He answered the phone when I called, he came out the next day, he quickly diagnosed the broken springs, he had the equipment on his truck, he fixed it quickly, he worked with my home warranty program so I could get reimbursed by them and even checked and lubricated my single garage door as well. He left a very handy sticker for next time and let me know about his money saving referral program. For outstanding service, I highly recommend this veteran and hope you'll give him a call when you need anything garage door related! read more

Amazing! Fixed my garage door same day and were very reasonable- highly recommended!

Our garage door was malfunctioning and Thomas was responsive and very helpful! Luckily it was a quick fix, but he spent extra time explaining the issue and even took the time to reprogram all our remotes! Very nice, informative and we plan on having him come back out to make some improvements to our super old and super loud garage door! read more
