Garage Door Repairs in Montvale, NJ

Everyone loves a deal. However, some firms cut comers and engage in questionable practices to deliver low prices. It is not a deal if I save a few bucks only to have your garage door break again… So how do Westchester homeowners from New Rochelle to White Plains to Yorktown Height tell who is right garage door repair service for them? Here are 6 tips to help you:

1.     Start by understanding the scope of a repair. A low price on the phone can often result in corners cut or a bill with substantial overage charges. Mike Boyer of A+ will never give you a low estimate “pulled out of a hat” on the phone to make you say yes.  Instead, he will come out, analyze the issues, discuss his findings with you and suggest the most cost-effective way to repair your garage door system so that it works headache-free and like new. The truth is an estimate on the phone is just a guess – Mike and A+ are “old school,” he refuses to play games and prides himself and the company on delivering quality the first time and every time. The old saying, "Quality is the best value”, is incorporated into every phase of A+’s projects.

2.     As a follow-up – never authorize a repair over the phone and do not authorize one in person until a technician analyzes the problem and clearly explains what is entailed to bring your garage doors back to the manufacturer’s spec and the cost. 

3.     If a company says it has 30 years of experience, ask exactly how many years of experience the technician doing your job has. Mike Boyer is on every job. He is dedicated to his on-going growth and excelling in his trade. He continually reads and educates himself on new technology and systems and constantly takes apart motors and systems to discover the best way to repair them. He knows the industry standards. He does each job with precision and a dedication to quality and safety; after all, his reputation has been built by satisfying one customer at a time.

4.     Check the testimonials and reviews of local homeowners.

5.     If possible, be home when the repair is being done. Some “fly-by-night” have been known to charge for two new springs and pulleys and only replace one… Mike has heard stories of “less reputable" firms breaking parts on purpose and not bringing the system to the manufacturer’s spec. Alternatively, the motor may need repair, and they sell you a new garage door. Mike and A+ will repair a garage door opener motor to the manufacture’s new spec. You can have the old parts and throw them out; your door will be balanced, the pulleys and springs operating like new and every moving part will be cleaned and lubricated. This attention to detail ensures that the repair will last as long as possible. The parts come with warranties ranging from 1- 10 years, and there has a warranty program on the labor of up to 3 years.

6.     Look for a service that will do “Tune-ups.” To keep their customer’s garage door systems humming like new, A+ offers a $49 tune-up that many of their customers take advantage of yearly. Everything is cleaned and adjusted, and if a part is worn, it is replaced. In a word, it is like getting your Porsche tuned up to ensure it purrs. By the way, if repairs or parts are needed, the $49 is credited to the bill.

A+ can often schedule same-day or next-day garage door repairs Montvale NJ homeowners need. Mike serves North Bergen County regularly, so response times are typically fast. Call 201-522-8371 to check availability.

A broken spring usually means your door will not open at all, or will open only a few inches. Mike inspects the full spring system on every visit and recommends repair or replacement based on actual condition. Torsion springs have a finite cycle life, and he can tell you honestly where yours stands.

Yes. Mike comes to your home, assesses the full system, and provides transparent pricing before any work begins. You will never get a price over the phone that changes once he arrives.
