Let’s be honest, provided they are in good working order, garage doors are not something we generally think much about. Similar to our hot water heaters, HVAC, and other systems, they labor under intense demands but with little consideration. It’s not until something goes wrong that we suddenly discover how important these amenities are to our overall sense of security and well-being. With an inoperable garage door, especially one that is stuck in position (open or closed), it’s likely we might not be able to leave the house! The situation is dire, but fear not. There is only one call that needs to be made under such conditions, and that is to Dave’s Garage Doors, the most trusted name in the industry!
Dave’s Garage Doors has been in existence and steadily establishing itself as the industry standard since 1981. I had the pleasure of speaking with General Manager Chris Maynard, a highly enthusiastic and dedicated individual who just came on board about a year and a half ago. Prior to that, he was running his own business (Maynard’s Garage Door Repair), but merged with Dave’s to combine their efforts. Since joining, he has worked diligently towards improving their corporate culture. Chris is a strong believer in the idea that happier employees provide better service, and if their recent testimonials, ratings, and increased business are any indication — they just opened a new location in Salem last year and are getting ready to open locations in both Bend and Eugene in the coming months — then his notion is accurate.
Two additional priorities have been to sort out and eliminate any lesser products, and also to refocus the business’s attention on the local community. Through deliberate trial and error, they have tested and retested every part used to ensure they are now only using the finest products. The best service available is only as good as the parts being used. If they are failing, then the company is failing. Chris has taken it upon himself to verify and secure only those superior products in which he has absolute faith. This has allowed them to offer longer warranties and provide the best service available. They have also recommitted to the community by donating doors and installations to Habitat For Humanity and offering free services to families in need during Christmas. In the coming months, they intend to start sponsoring local school sports teams as well. They are a locally owned and operated company that genuinely appreciates the communities they serve.
Dave’s Garage Doors is a one-stop shopping experience for anything and everything having to do with garage doors. They are experts in repairs, installations, and maintenance. They offer services for spring replacements, broken cables, broken rollers, broken openers (most major brands), door repairs, off-track door alignments, full door replacements, and even door section replacements. They proudly install Liftmaster, Linear, and Genie brand openers. They also sell new remotes, keypads, rollers, weather seals, garage door hardware and accessories, and DIY parts.
And as much as we may not think about them while they’re in working order, new garage doors can profoundly enhance the curb appeal of your home. Just refer to Dave’s photos (of some of their previous jobs) for evidential proof. Fast, friendly and efficient: Dave’s Garage Doors provides same-day service with a smile.
