The company handles various issues including emergency repairs, opener installations, and routine maintenance.

Update: Besser refunded the $65 after this review and apologized. Appreciate them making it right. My original point still stands for anyone booking: if you need a specific product installed, confirm they can do it before the visit. Mentioned the need for a rodent proof xcluder system installation prior to technician coming. Was told I could not get a quote without physical inspection prior, was told 65$ fee would be waived for first time customer. Technician insisted on 65$ charge at visit despite waiving fee promise, told that Besser does not install this system after visit despite it being mentioned during visit . Waste of time and money
