  AMES OVERHEAD DOOR STORE (Door & Fence Store)

  Excellent service, did some carpentry to adapt to my old garage.  Gave my advice to suit my needs, i.e. they told me "no you don't need the expensive opener, the cheapest one will work fine."  The guys installing worked cheerfully in my unattached, unheated garage on a cold (temp in the teens F) day.  The door has been working flawlessly for nearly a full year now.

  AMES OVERHEAD DOOR STORE (Door & Fence Store)

  They didn't have the exact opener in stock, but sold me another one that works just as well.  They took the time to look up one that would work.
  I made the date up as I don't remember the date.  It was in late spring or early summer last year.

  AMES OVERHEAD DOOR STORE (Door & Fence Store)

  Working with this company was so easy. I am so pleased with their work. They even came out when we had problems with our opener and looked at it for no charge. We didn't buy the opener from them, just the door!

  T&K Construction

  Overall they did a good job for the price. Pros: Did what they promised for the price quoted. Friendly, professional, and hard working. Cons: Not great at the details. Left a mess of the house, would arrive later than he said, and just made a bunch of little mistakes that could have been prevented. I would use him again but would have very clear discussions first.

  Hoffman Construction

  It took awhile to get them, but once the Hoffman crew started on the job, they worked hard, were polite and relatively quiet, and took great pains to improve the old driveway. Keith even came back in the evening to make sure no one had moved the construction poles and tape. While the concrete was still drying, some goon scratched a word in the concrete (we live near a college campus). The workmen reported it to the police (who came and looked) before sanding that panel so it hardly shows. I'd say they care a lot about doing good work. True craftsmen.

  Hoffman Construction

  This was a very difficult job for many reasons, but Keith, the owner, had the experience, patience, and inginuity to remove and replace my garage concrete slab.  Keith also resolved the unanticipated issues that developed during the job.  Keith and his workers were curteous and thoughtful.

  AMES OVERHEAD DOOR STORE (Door & Fence Store)

  I e-mailed them very late on a Thursday night hoping for service the following Monday.  They called me back on Friday morning and got an appointment for me Monday morning.  I honestly thought that I was going to need a new opener, but the technician found it was that the spring and joints were so dry it was binding up and causing resistance and that is why the door would not open and close.  The technician also re-adjusted the door for me fixing the gap issue I had between the floor and the door.  He also reprogrammed the remotes and keypad so that I could use those.  I was very happy with the service!

  Hicklin Door Services

  The staff was very polite and professional when I called. We set up a time for them to work on the garage door that very evening.  They were very apologetic when they called to inform me that their worker couldn't make it to my house due to heat exhaustion. The next day Steve called to let me know he was on his way and arrived quickly. Steve was very professional and friendly. He replaced the springs and the wiring when the garage door wasn't working properly. The wiring was done at no extra cost. Steve was very efficient and the garage door works great now. I was not charged the Labor Charge since they didn't come as originally scheduled.  Only time will tell of the quality of the parts they replaced, but for now I am VERY impressed and happy with this company.

  Hoffman Construction

  Before the work began, I spoke in person with both Keith Hoffman and his son and was impressed by their courtesy and professionalism. And mainly they both seemed like they knew what they were doing.
       The only minor problem was how long it took from the time I requested the work done and the actual starting and completion of the job (there were a couple delays of a couple weeks each as I recall). This was largely due to the weather; it's rare that it's warm or snowless enough in Iowa in January that concrete work can be done at all. And I'm sure that another factor was the work load they must have had. I suspect he's in demand a lot because he's good. And I wasn't really in a hurry; I've waited several years to have this work done anyway.
       The end result looks great and was worth the minor delays. It's only been about 2 and a half months, not enough time to know if there will be settling or cracking, but I feel confident from seeing the time and care that went into the prep work that it will be fine for many years.
       There was a small area that I forgot to discuss with Keith before the work began (and after we had agreed on a price). There was an area to fill in between the new patio and a sidewalk leading to the garage. I told him to do it and charge me what he thought was fair. I realized I left myself open for him to charge a large fee if he chose, but he only tacked on an extra $100, which I was happy with. And I think they filled in a small extra area near the back door that I might have forgotten about at no extra charge.
       Overall I am very pleased with the quality and cost of the work.

  AMES OVERHEAD DOOR STORE (Door & Fence Store)

  I liked the service.  I'm going to actually use them for some more work this spring.  The quality of their work was very good.  They are here when they say they will be here, and they finish quickly.
