Verified record
A homeowner with two damaged panels called Chelmsford Garage Door in March 2026 expecting to buy a whole new door. The crew replaced just the two panels at considerably less cost and matched them to the rest of the door. Fix the part, not the door — that instinct runs through much of what customers describe. The company works out of 115 Elm St in Chelmsford, with Donald Shore as president and three employees listed on its BBB profile, where it carries an A+ grade without being BBB accredited. It calls itself family-owned and locally operated, says it has worked the greater Boston area for over three decades, and sells Clopay and Amarr doors. Work spans residential and commercial installation, repair, maintenance and openers, and the site names Chelmsford, Westford and Concord as its service area. Speed is what customers keep describing across 34 Google reviews going back to 2021, behind a 4.8-star average from 47 ratings. A December 2025 customer whose car was trapped said the company answered his call after 8pm and had technicians there early the next morning. In January 2024, a reviewer called one day and had Don out the following morning replacing two springs in under half an hour. In February 2026, a misaligned door that had blocked a car in was diagnosed and fixed in under 30 minutes, and the customer called the price fair with no hidden fees. Money comes up in the same plain way: a February 2025 reviewer had new springs, pulleys and cables put in by Andrew and another tech and called the pricing competitive, and a Reddit poster in 2024 said new vinyl doors had run about $900 a door installed a couple of years earlier. Three of the 34 written reviews are critical. In June 2023, a reviewer said his elderly father called with a question and the woman who answered raised her voice, spoke aggressively and threatened to sic her husband on him, who then called the father and yelled at him too. Another June 2023 review, from a customer who put no fault on the crew, described being given an 11 o'clock appointment and learning at 11:30 that it was actually an 11-to-1 window. The third, a one-star from November 2024, is odd: the writer said the person who came did a good job, then concluded he had probably hired a company using Chelmsford Garage Door's name. A 2022 page on another garage door company's site describes that same kind of impersonation of Chelmsford Garage Door, Inc. For a broken spring, a door stuck shut or a panel you would rather not replace whole, this is a straightforward call. Use the number on the company's own site or its BBB profile so you know who is turning up, and ask whether your slot is a set time or a window.

Quick response, great service and a quality product. I recommend using Chelmsford Garage Door for your next garage door needs.
Chelmsford Garage has come out twice and fixed things quickly and painlessly. One time, they didn’t even charge us. They are patient and always make us feel like a priority, no matter when we call. They are friendly, helpful, and take the time to explain everything. I highly recommend them to both new and long-time homeowners.
I had two damaged panels on a residential garage door and was expecting to have to replace the entire door. They were able to replace just the two panels at considerably less cost, and the match was excellent.
I called Chelmsford Garage Door when my door was not aligned, and I couldn't get my car out. They were incredibly responsive, the technician was professional, explained exactly what went wrong, and fixed it in under 30 minutes. The price was very fair with no hidden fees. They are local and I support local business. Highly recommend them for any garage door repairs!
