It's 11/23/13 at 1pm and "Boom!" garage door spring explodes.
So I log on to my favorite website yelp, to search for garage door repair companies and I find Dreikosen Garage Door Service has great reviews.
I call the number and Jeff answers. I tell him my plight and he says he will be there in 10 minutes. I said "What?!?". It's 1pm on a Saturday and you will be here in 10 minutes. I was so blown away I didn't even ask the price.
Within 10 minutes he pulls up in a white box van. I have him back into my driveway and out he comes. Now Jeff is a 36 year old, who has been doing garage doors is entire life. He is covered in garage door grease and wearing shorts on a 50 degree rainy day. He has a unique way of doing things and he knows exactly what he is doing.
I decide to hang out with him and "help" or at least learn how he does what he does. My garage door was only equipped with a single spring. I had always thought that was not enough, so when Jeff began to tell me he felt 2 would work better I just said, "How much?" knowing I wanted 2 anyway. "$185" he tells me. Again, blown away. My Dad just had one replaced by a large company for $200 out the door. I said "Let's do it."
Now this guy can move, he was practically running. The entire job was done in 20 minutes, including moving one of my buttons to a better location, lubing every joint, wheel and moving part on the door, and a slight adjustment to my wiring that was all over the place.
I could not be happier. This guy was amazing. The bad review about stapling his card to the garage wall? He asked first. And I had him staple it to my work bench. I will call him for any and every repair. I recommend any yelper do the same.
