Douglas Garage Door Center is the East Hartford shop people call when a spring snaps, an opener quits or a keypad stops working. A recent customer said Scott helped them out in a pinch the morning their door broke. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0603483, held by DOUGLAS GARAGE DOOR CENTER INC, is active on the state registry. A 2025 customer said they called on a Tuesday morning and the company was out on Wednesday to replace a coil spring. A 2025 customer said it repaired four garage doors that needed keypads and mechanical repairs after a different company said everything would have to be replaced. A 2025 reviewer wrote that Josh replaced their garage door motor and realigned the doors. A 2024 customer said the estimator and installers were on time for an opener replacement and took away the old stuff. In 2023, a customer described checking out doors at the showroom before Dominick came to the house to measure and quote two new doors and openers. A recent customer said a tech programmed a new keypad in under five minutes, and the bill charged $80 for the part plus labor, when they saw nothing over $25 online for the same model. A 2025 customer said a stuck door was lubricated but still got stuck now and then, and the invoice added fuel and garage door oil on top of the quoted service fee. A 2025 customer wrote that Keith, the owner, kept their deposit and never ordered the parts. A 2023 customer said the tech arrived late, did not have the right tools or parts, and the company billed for the service call anyway. A 2024 customer said the company stopped returning calls and emails about buying four new doors and motors.
Scott was incredibly efficient and friendly helping us out in a pinch this morning when our door broke and my husband had to be at work on a Sunday. Highly recommend.
Unbelievably expensive. Tech came out to repair my door and I asked if he could replace the keypad that wasn’t working. I asked how much the part would be and he said he didn’t know (?) but it would be on the bill. It took him less than 5 minutes to program it. A week later I got the bill and the keypad was $80! Of course I looked it up online and I didn’t see anything over $25 for the exact same model. (I can understand marking up the price, but I was also charged for labor). I asked if this was a mistake, but I was told that was the correct price. Ridiculous! I will never use this company again. 😡
Responsive, Respectful and Ready to Repair!
excellent service
Great experience from start to finish. Request for service call was made and receptionist explained process of appointments and how the company does things. They came out within the window provided and even early, Donny was very efficient, and got everything working perfectly. Friendly, professional service—highly recommend.
