Old School Door Construction

gilbert installed my garage door back in january, however the remote start to act up last month, gilbert came back and fixed it 3 times for free, he is pretty reliable.

I had these guys come install a garage door for me. it’s an odd ball installation in my barn, they had to order a custom door size and remove the very heavy old barn doors. Gil showed up on time, was prompt with his bid (which was quite a bit less than the others I received). His son in law came and did the installation within a week. He did a great job. There was no bellyaching about the odd situation. There was no trying to upsell me to a fancy door for my barn. I appreciated the honesty, integrity, and reliability.

Hello,
I called Gill at Old School Door, I asked if he could put a door where there was never a door before… he said «I can put a roll up door anywhere» Game On!
I got 2 new doors for a terrific price.
Did what he said and when at the price agreed. He even used a side winder door opener that saved me a lot of overhead clearance.
Wow! great job and great communication AAA+ rating!

I contacted Old school through some Unilocal reviews after having trouble getting anyone in the city to come by and give me a quote. The job was to replace a 26 year old home built door that had started to rot along the bottom. It was a difficult job as the lower panel is triangular due to the double wide door being on a significant SF hill.
Gil and a helper showed up as promised to work on Saturday. The door, of course, had some minor measurement issues, but was extremely well constructed. Each panel must weigh 80 pounds! They got right to work and worked all day to make sure the finished door would hang and operate properly. Lots of exercise as each trial fit required a small cut followed by another trial fit.
Finished around suppertime and a professional clean-​up. I liked the fact that Gil was willing to make use of existing tracks and Genie as this saved me $$$. And he didn’t complain about having to relocate the Genie about 6″ to resolve a clearance issue. I’m a knowledgable and tough client when it comes to anyone touching my house and Gil is now my garage door goto guy.

Gil is pretty good with our internet connected garage door installation. I asked him to come in for the installation and he was able to get the job done.
–2 stars for not repairing the minor hole he put in the wall.
Guess what?! Now I can open and close my garage door via smartphone or any internet browser!
$ 160 for the job

I having been watching American Handyman competition and listening to the judges’ critics about leveling, gap, spacing, lock installation and insulation. So for this, 3 stars for workmanship; 1 star for neglecting to show up to fix issues and answering phone calls.
