Hamline Garage Door

I've used Mark every time I've had an issue. He's reasonable, his work is quality and he's an extremely nice guy. It's not worth trying to fix yourself if you can get Mark.

The nicest guy, very knowledgeable. Responsive, fast, and makes you happy about... a garage door!

I created a Citysearch account just so I could write this review. A spring on my garage door broke on Sunday morning, one of the cables came off the spool and the arm connecting the chain to the door snapped off--all kinds of problems.

Mark has been able to help me out more than one time. He is professional and prompt and takes his work seriously. He was able to the the parts and get out to replace them the next day. He even lubed and aligned the door so it works

We found out about Hamline Garage from a reference from our neighbors. I have to agree with them that Mark does an excellent job. This summer we had a new garage put in and Mark took the time to discuss pros/cons of different door models

Mark at Hamline Garage Door had kept my 50-year old garage door alive and working for at least the last 15 years. Every few years he would come out and replace lost screws, putting the hinges back in place, he replaced springs one time, bills ranged from $35 to $80. When I called this spring and told him I needed a new garage door he just laughed and said, "Yes, you do. I can't put it together many more times." A wheel had come off and he replaced it free of charge to tide me over until I could afford a new door in May. (Yes, I did get 2 other estimates both slightly more than Hamline Garage Door's but all in the same ballpark). He ordered the door I wanted and installed it while I was at work. He left a bill in my garage for which I mailed him a check the next day. Less than $1000 for an 18 ft. door with the windows of my choice. It's not an upscale door but it fits my house and humble neighborhood and it is sturdy, well put together. I have neighbors who have also bought from Mark on my recommendation and they are happy, too.

Pros: Finished as promised, quality as promised, friendly,

Cons: None

Reliable service people still exist. As we were leaving to drive my son to school Wednesday morning, the garage door spring "sprang" off. I thought I would have to wait several days to get the door repaired, and then worry about spending a lot of money.

I found this website, because I know it's a few miles from our house. When I called the phone number, I didn't get a voice mail or answering service. After about 3 rings, Mark answered, and I found out he was the repair person who took all my information over the phone. He didn't require a credit card number, or bank account. He said he'd be to our home within 4 hours, and by the time I finished my errands, I came home to a repaired, very professionally, I might add, automatic garage door. He replaced 2 springs, and added guards so that the springs wouldn't dangerously shoot off like the one just had that morning.

Mark left a bill, like he previously arranged, and surprisingly, the bill was just over one hundred dollars, saving us lots of stress, time, worry, unsafe garage, and a big bill.

I would recommend using Hamile Garage Door service to anyone who's looking for a friendly neighborhood service, and very trustworthy and cost-effective.
