Gator garage doors provided an excellent and detailed evaluation report from Paul on our 26 year old garage door problems. Three options provided came with a comparative cost. Frank came in and replaced the entire door, motor, and rails as the cost was not significantly more than partial repair options for the old beat up and damaged configuration (broken spring, cables, offset rails, aging motor, etc.). We absolutely love our new door. It looks better, the seals on the side are flush and excellent, it is waaay smoother on closing (it glides instead of popping and laboring), it is quieter (formerly crashing and bumping, now a quiet humm almost inaudible). Makes the house seem significantly newer. We use the door multiple times a day and this was money well spent. Punctual, professional, fast, yet careful. Entire replacement took 3 hours and the door was available within 48 hours of the initial evaluation. Thanks Gator.

These guys are great. Jason came out to my house and was kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, his truck didn’t have the part needed to repair my garage door opener, but he gave me a full evaluation before leaving. He offered to come back and repair the garage door opener if I could locate the part. I located it, and did the repair myself, but I will be calling Gator for repairs, and for the service that Jason recommended. This is a great company. One caveat: they use an AI system for communications, and I found it was best to connect with a human. I’m impressed by their use of technology, but I like to verify.

Hey Jeffrey,
Thanks a ton for the awesome review! So glad to hear that Jason took good care of you—he’s a gem! Sorry about the part situation, but it’s great that you were able to handle it and still found our service helpful. We’re always here for any future repairs or recommendations.
We hear you on the AI system. It’s all about making things smooth, but nothing beats a real chat with a human when you need it. Appreciate your understanding and feedback on that!
Looking forward to helping you out next time.
Take care,
Blaire

Jason Foulks performed at the highest level of quality when he replaced my ceiling-mounted garage opener with a side-mounted jack shaft. He took care of additional requests as well and truly delivered a great customer experience. My garage has such an elevated aesthetic now because of him.
I greatly recommend working with Jason!

I called on a weekend with an urgent service request and they were able to accommodate me the same day. Joe arrived several hours earlier than projected and laid out three reasonable options. Very professional, and very congenial and completed the work in a timely manner. Even went above and beyond, helping us do a related task we had planned to do afterward. I highly recommend this business and will continue to use them for any garage door work in the future.
