On Christmas the garage door cable broke. As my father was entering the hospital this posed a problem for my mother. I called and left a message and on Monday morning Patrick called and said he would make it his first stop. Patrick showed up when he said he would and promptly took care of the issue. Great service and even better people.

On November 18, 2021 around 3:30 PM on W Ingomar Rd a driver for this company almost hit my two children getting off the bus. I spoke with owner of the company and assured me that the person was reprimanded and it will never happen again.

Awning installation was seamless and professional. Pricing is reasonable. If you need JUST the fabric replaced, this is an amazing option for you! HIGHLY recommend!!!

Justin came to work on my garage door. He was very professional. he explained everything he was doing as well as telling me the causes and affects on different things and why they happen to the garage doors. Give him a raise!! 😀 I will recommend Thomas V. Giel to anyone needing work done. We have been using them for many many years. My Dad would call for service when I was a kid. Dave

Every person I came in contact with was exceptional and helpful. I really got the feeling that the associates really care about customer service and the company really cares about their associates. The guy that did the quote was great and the two installers did a wonderful job. I would totally recommend your company
