This was a thoroughly great experience under the circumstances. Lance Thurlow was our tech and he was the epitome of professional. He immediately recognized the issues with our garage door and offered several solutions. He didn&#8217;t pressure us at all or try to upsale any of the products. He quoted a time for repair and finished sooner. He also did a thorough job of setting up the devices and providing us with hands on to do the same. I will definitely use this group again should the need arise and would recommend them to family and friends!!
