Bill and his son are the best in the business. When I was shopping for garage openers for my house, I was referred to them. They came out, guided me on what I needed with what I wanted and installed it quickly. The attention to detail and the quality of install was top notch. Thank you guys for your great work at my house. Will never use another garage door company again.

I replaced two aging steel doors with wood doors and couldn't be happier. Bill Jr. is a straight shooter. He patiently talked through all of the options and quickly turned around a quote. Yesterday, the doors were installed by Rob and he did a fantastic job. The older garage doors, who were probably put in by the previous owner, were done poorly. Rob spent the time re-engineering the entire configuration including re-running the tracks the doors sit on. He really cared about the aesthetic and I couldn't be happier. It looks great, the doors can now open easily (I had so many issues with the older

Needed service on one of the torsion springs -- they wear out and ours lasted at least 8 years if not more (previous owners installed the doors). The Skillman team (Bill Jr.) was very professional, friendly, and responsive. They replaced the spring and tuned / oiled things up. Highly recommend Skillman as they are a family business that does great work and takes customer service seriously.

Fantastic job! Accidentally backed up into the garage door and did some damage. Skillman came the very same day and fixed everything for a totally reasonable price. Highly recommend.
