Customers frequently cite reasonable pricing and quick response times for issues like broken springs, motor replacements, and new door installations. However, some low-star reviews criticize the company for aggressive upselling of new doors over repairs, unexpected service fees for landlords, and a lack of transparency regarding detailed cost breakdowns and installed parts.

Kenny W. from Gator Garage Doors was wonderful. My garGe door suddenly stopped working. He was personable, knowledgeable and professional. Explained everything and answered all my questions in detail. I even signed up for their annual garage door checkup which will be so helpful for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Kenny of Gator Garage Doors.

Technician Aaron Terry came by to investigate the problem with my garage not opening. The springs were broken and we also change the motor. He gave me an excellent quote to fix my door. The repair was completed fast and my garage is extra quiet now. Really happy with the work they did, the price was excellent and fast turnaround. I got multiple quotes and no one could compete with the price I got with Gator Garage.

So Gator was the 3rd GD company I called. Best by a mile. Don't bother calling anyone else. Gator is where it's at. Showed up on time, Brady was courteous, and knowledgeable, and overall a great guy. And he left with a repaired and working garage door! Really good experience.
