About
Garage Door Solutions handles garage door repairs and new installations out of Allen, Texas. The outfit runs as a small family business and sends technicians including Richard, Paul, and Cole to handle service calls. Reviewers describe them taking on everything from basic remote fixes to full door replacements after damage.
Customers call them for doors knocked off tracks by vehicles, bent panels and rails that need straightening, failed keypads and remotes, weather stripping replacement, and Liftmaster opener problems. Richard shows up on most of these jobs, straightens out the issues on site, and leaves the door running smoother than before. Paul keeps homeowners updated during longer projects, while Cole explains warranties and options before any work starts. One job involved repairing car damage without replacing the whole door, and another got a new door in after the old one failed completely.
They answer calls late in the week and often send someone the next morning, with texts keeping people informed on arrival times. Reviewers note upfront pricing and clear explanations of repair versus replacement choices. The business stays responsive on repeat visits and works around family schedules when delays happen. One customer flagged the total cost as high on a larger repair, while others called the same work reasonable for the results.
Richard earns consistent praise for quick diagnosis and honest options across many visits. The company holds a strong record on repeat business and same-day fixes. DIRT Score 4.6 from 213 reviews on Finds.

What Customers Say
“The repair technician was very professional and knowledgeable, as well as pleasant to talk with. He knew exactly what the problem was and attended to it quickly and efficiently. I have used Garage Door Solutions in the past and they are great. Unfortunately, I didn't use my military/veteran discount, as I wasn't aware that they offered it until the work was completed, and my wife asked the technician. But the invoice was already completed. That could have saved me if the technician had asked me if I served in the armed services. Maybe their business needs to include that I'm a Veteran on my profile in their database, so they are aware ahead of time. /Jerry”
“Technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. Took time to explain issues. Good work at a reasonable price.”
“Door and tracks were screwed up. The tech came took a good look at it and said he could fix it. He did a great job. He was very courteous and professional. He checked over everything very thoroughly. Door is moving better than it was before I developed a problem.”
“This was our second call in two years to GDS, with Richard II as our tech. Our problem this time was that the door fell off the tracks after being struck by an overheight vehicle. Thankfully no one was hurt. Richard attacked the mess...bent panels, bent guide rail...we were sure the door would have to be replaced. But for less than sales tax on a new door, we were up and running with full repairs just like you would expect from an automotive body shop. I like these guys, and you will too!”
“Had a situation with my garage door, I called Garage Door Solutions and they had the Amazing Richard come out. Richard was awesome and he made sure everything was perfect before leaving. By the way the response time and communication was A1, thank you Garage Door Solutions and the Amazing Richard”
“Paul is a great communicator. He kept us up today on the project and they were very fair. Richard is excellent at his work. We use them twice and have continued to be happy with the pricing and service. I highly recommend them.”
“"🔥🔥🔥 Just got my new garage door installed by Garage door SOLUTIONS, and I'm MIND BLOWN! 🤯 The team was super professional, on time, and got the job done in no time. The door looks 🔥🔥🔥! It's sleek, smooth, and the installation was seamless. Highly recommend them for all your garage door needs! 👌 5 stars isn't enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"”
“Remote for my garage door failed to open door. Called late on Friday and they had a technician over Saturday a.m. Richard fixed the problem in short order. Highly recommend this company.”
“Richard was helpful, engaging and did excellent work. Door was repaired from car damage.”
“Richard was great and fixed us up quick.”
“He figured out quickly what was wrong with our keypad and was able to fix it and was really friendly, honest and professional”
“I moved into a new house and the previous owner did not have a working remote and the garage door sounded like the door was going to come off. They were able to fix my garage door issue quickly and help me with my remotes!”
“Should’ve have read more reviews than just the 4.7 stars. Richard came out on time as promised and the work done was great but the price was not. I think for $1106 an hour I could’ve found someone else more reasonable. So if price is not a concern by all means hire them.”
“Update: Jamie replied saying there was a family emergency that caused the delay. Being a small family business i understand these things come up. She got Richard out promptly and he addressed my issue with the weather stripping, giving me cost and options. I am considering which way i want to go and appreciate the options. Having them return Thursday to do some work. Changing to 5 stars in anticipation of the upcoming work being up to previous standards. Have used them in the past with satisfaction but expensive. Now asking if they replace weatherstripping at bottom of door in their services. Three days of calling at various times to talk to a rep only gets me a recording that says if we do not answer we are with other customers and to leave a message. Left messages with a call back number with no replies. Are you all that busy!! Yesterday 1/26 I received a voice mail after I gave them a one star rating with them saying they did not get my messages and that their manager has been sick. I told them I was sorry about the manager and maybe it was a phone problem at either end but maybe they could change their recording to,due to medical issues we can not take your call at this time. ”
“I have had Garage Door Solutions out on several occasions and usually get Richard as the tech and he’s great! I like they are able to come out in a timely fashion and I have been pleased with the work.”
“Always professional and quick. I really apprecialte how they do business and everyone has always been very polite and caring. Richard replaced our old door with a new one. While waiting for the new door to come in, he came out twice to fix our old door to keep it working! This is a company that truly cares for their customers. It is comforting to know there is a business that has your back.”
“The service Richard provided was both dependable and honest. Richard was able to diagnose the problem with our garage door, and offered the (2)options that were available for us to choose. He reviewed with us the options, and gave the estimate for the cost of installation. We were satisfied with his expertise, and honesty throughout this process from start to finish. We would recommend Garage Door Solutions for any homeowner needing services from your company.”
“I was able to receive same day service. The dispatcher was nice. I also received periodic texts from the company Keeping me updated on when the technician was arriving. Richard, the technician, was very helpful and informative and provided transparent pricing up front. Most importantly he was able to fix the problem on the Liftmaster.”
“Fantastic! Thank you Richard for allowing me to place my trust in you, your work and Garage Door Solutions! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful! If I have a need again, you’ll be getting a call!”
“My parents used to use Garage Door Solutions. We found the experience very pleasant...from the initial call to schedule to dealing with their personnel, to post service support, it was outstanding. They are pleasant and welcoming to deal with and make the customer feel valued, that they appreciate our business. We in turn appreciate their honesty and sincerity. Last week, my wife and I called as we were having trouble with our garage door closing. Without hesitation, we called on Garage Door Solutions again and had the same experience as mentioned. Cole was very pleasant and knowledgeable; diagnosed and explained the issue, the warranty, thanked us and asked us to not hesitate to call anytime we have concerns. If that isn't top notch service, we don't know what is. I have recommended it to people at work and everyone of them said they were glad I did and how much they enjoyed dealing with Garage Door. We have not had to call them back but I'm confident if we did, we would have no issues. Call them up for your garage door needs and see it for yourselves.”
