Brooks Overhead

This is the first time our garage door needed repair and Steve from Brooks Overhead quoted me the most competitive price. Jesus the technician arrived on time and started working on replacing our torsion system. He was very respectful, courteous and was very experienced. He explained what he was going to do and how he’ll do it. He finished the job in less than an hour and made sure the place was clean after. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Well, I had to have Brooks out here again because somebody vandalized my garage door and damaged it. Just like before, he got out here in a timely fashion, fixed the problem quickly and thoroughly, and didn’t break the bank in the process! I can’t recommend Brooks Overhead enough.

As everyone has said here, these guys definitely deserve five stars. Our garage door was falling due to faulty rollers, and we called our usual garage door repair man, but he had trouble with his car. After waiting for him all day, we searched for another alternative and found Brooks Overhead! We called them and set the appointment for the following day, in fact they were willing to come that same evening, but since it was dark and had rained, we preferred to have it done during daylight hours. They gave us a quote of $ 200, and next morning they came as promised. Dwaine the technician assessed the problem and fixed it within ten minutes! Because the repair was so simple, he felt bad charging us $ 200 and instead charged us only $ 100! He was very knowledgable and extremely funny! Very nice guy. Not once did he ever try to force any new items on us, and instead offered to just give our almost twenty year old garage door a quick fix, but we decided it be better to change it altogether. We have an appointment set for next Saturday. Overall we are incredibly pleased with their service and feel very lucky to have found them :). We will definitely consult them for any future problems.

Our garage door broke yesterday. Steve diagnosed the problem over the phone and came over first thing the next morning. He replaced our spring and balanced the door all in under 20 minutes. Fantastic service, great prices. If you ever have any garage door issues, the Garage Door Dude is your man.

Came out the same day and fixed my garage door that had starting falling down. He did was really busy but true to his word, fixed it in 40 min at 8:00 pm at night! Highly recommend him to anybody needing garage door service!

Right to the point and no BS. Great service and went beyond just fixing the problem we were having. I don’t have any issues recommending Steve and will definitely use him in the future.

I’ve used this company two-​times. The first time was a shot-​in-​the-​dark, no recommendation and I can’t recall where I found them – they were called Brooks Brothers but that was before they were asked to change the name because you know I always think of my $ 1000 suits and garage doors together, so it might muddy the brand.
But anyway I found all this out when he came back the second time – years later because of some plastic component that just wears out but bingo he had the part, fixed my opener and placed a new sticker below the button – with the new name. I called them back because they were professional, genuine and honest.
Funny thing… I was searching Unilocal for remodelers and this company came up, when I saw all the 5-​stars I just had to keep the trend. You won’t find a better company.

We found Steve to be helpful and knowledgeable when we called to inquire about garage door services. The Unilocal reviews seemed good too, so we went ahead and scheduled. He arrived on time and got right to it — lubricated, adjusted, and tested our ailing garage door … even got new rollers that were badly worn. Now our door works much better, and we would recommend Garage Door Dude!

The spring on my door snapped and I was concerned that I would have to pay an arm and a led to get it repaired. Most places I researched were saying they would have to look at the issue first then give me a quote. I found Brooks Overhead on Unilocal through research and was very interested after reading through the reviews. I gave them a call to explain the issue, John was able to give me a direct quote right over the phone. The next day John showed up as promised during the timeframe he promised. Within 30 minutes (I watched an episode of Sponge Bob with the daughter as he worked) he told me he was done. He tested the door out in front of me and gave me pointers on how to maintain the door.
He was very nice over the phone and in person. Most importantly, the price he charged me was so much less than what I was getting from other places. With the extra savings, I definitely kicked back a nice tip. With his price and warranty, I would definitely recommend this company to others.
Thanks John!

What a relief it is to run across a business that really is priced right and does what they say without LIES! I read Unilocal reviews for Brooks Overhead and figured it was the best chance for quality at an affordable price and I was definitely not disappointed, with the company or the reviewers Steve Brooks gave me a better price than others and a higher quality setup on a new garage door than I expected, even though he had 5 star reviews. Steves employee Armando was about the nicest young man I have met. He is tall and with his skills, he finished my door in under 2 hours. Thank you Steve Brooks for a great door and Keep Armando, Because he represents your company well with his great personality and his skill not to mention his thoroughness. GREAT DEAL!

It’s not often you rate someone that didn’t actually perform a service for you but this company is 5 stars. I called in needing to replace my garage door sensors because I attempted to do this on my own and could not get the replacements to work. When I called in he actually told me how to take care of the issue over the phone and save myself the money on a service trip. It’s not often you will find a contractor that is willing to offer this kind of help. I would highly recommend this company based on their honesty and helpfulness I received, and if I need a major garage door repair I will absolutely call these guys!

I’d been putting off getting my jammed garage door fixed. Some rollers were off the tracks, one side spring broken, and I hadn’t been able to use the garage for months, but was afraid it would be a huge expense for total replacement.
I found Brooks Overhead here on Unilocal,also checking that yes, they’re clean with the BBB.
Steve came the very next morning, took off the side springs, which were a pointless mis-​installation, and totally disassembled and re-​installed the door, properly attaching and tightening the central torsion spring. Now it works smooth, like a charm, and the charge was in the low three figures. I’m astounded and delighted, and it all took less than two hours.

Super awesome and friendly guy! Came out and checked out our door motor. The dude — Steve — had an answer and solution within a couple minutes. He told us what motor we had to get and in a couple days he came back and replaced it. It was so quick! Thanks a bunch!

Stumbled upon Brooks Overhead when I was looking on Unilocal for another contractor. Based on the five star reviews I saw, I remembered that and called them when the torsion spring on my garage door broke. Steve answered right away and he was able to come by the same day. I was impressed that he got it done fast. He even lubricated parts that needed it and made adjustments to the door and opener to make sure the door was in good shape. Reasonable price and fantastic service. Thanks again Garage Door Dude.

Have to give ‘em a five. I told them what was wrong, they came out right away, fixed the problem quickly, and were very efficient, knowledgeable and helpful.

I called at 8 am and they just left my house at 11:20 am. Talk about fast service! I just had to mention that my car was stuck in the garage and they came out right away. Totally reasonable price. $ 229 to replace a broken coil and service it up. Sounds so quiet now!

This is the real deal. I’ve never had a better experience in hiring someone to fix a problem.
I called around a few places today and they all had someone answer the phone with NO IDEA how much anything would cost, all they could tell me was that it was $ 30-​$ 40 to come look, and could be up to $ 1,000 depending on the work needed.
I called Brooks and he answered the phone himself, and said he could come look at it today and I explained what the problem was and he immediately knew what to do OVER THE PHONE!
He came to the house just after lunch and fixed my door in 20 minutes. Was very kind, professional, and personable.
Best possible outcome, most reasonable price, and best attitude and demeanor.
This is the ONLY choice for garage door repair in the Houston Area. There should be a 6 star rating for this company.

Is there ever a good time for your garage door to stop working? Absolutely not, and chances are, it’ll happen at the most inconvenient times. Luckily Steve was quick to answer my call and readily available for an appointment the next day. He zoomed into my complex, took one look at the broken spring and got to work with the repair. 15 minutes later I’m writing him a check for $ 229 to replace both springs and he’s on his way. If anything ever happens to my garage door again, I’ll definitely be giving the dude a call!

listen, i wish that your garage door would give notice when its going to completely destroy your day — but it won’t and that is when Steve comes to the rescue. Random tuesday morning, my garage door opens but won’t shut, need to go to work, drop a friend to the airport and generally go about my life.
I pulled the string and the door closed (i could not get it open again to save my life) and then i called Steve (from Unilocal reviews no less!). He was at the bank but still picked up his phone — told me he would be there in 45 min — he was there in 30!
In 20 minutes the problem is fixed, the broken spring is fixed and the price was $ 229 (which was less than others had quoted).
Exceptional work, very professional, told me how to maintain the spring and my life doesn’t have to be on hold!
Would recommend him to anyone and he’s been added to my «numbers to keep»

For real, yo! Don’t get screwed, call the Dude!
So, one beautiful and hot night in Houston, TX; right before I was about to go out on a date, my garage door pretty much told me, «screw you, Belly! You ain’t getting the car out past me!!» and went ‘SNAP!!!” and broke one of the springs.
I managed to open the door manually (obviously getting dirt on my clothes and getting a little sweaty from the manual labor) and drove the car out. But I definitely didn’t want to deal with this on a daily basis. So, Unilocal (and google) to the rescue!!!
The first thing I did was call «Southwest Garage Door of Houston» because it seemed like the Unilocalers’ go to place. I got a quote over the phone and I was told to replace the springs with a pair of 90-​lb springs, it would run me $ 185. Not too bad, right? But then I had some garage door people come out to give me a free quote and they told me that I had an old-​school heavy-​duty metal garage door and that 90-​lb springs wouldn’t cut it. This dude (Sara’s garage door) quoted me $ 380 to replace the springs with heavy duty springs. WHOA!!! that’s more than double what was quoted to me. He also told me that he could install even heavier duty springs for an extra $ 100. At this point, I was like, «screw this. Forget it!!»
At this point, I realized that I’d be paying more to ask for the heavy duty springs from Southwest. I called some other places and the cheapest I found was still in the high $ 200 — low $ 300 range. «Shoot! I’m going to be broke!!» I thought.
I went back to Unilocal and decided to call the Dude because I didn’t want to get screwed. I called him around 7 pm in the evening and the Dude picked up (he was at the gym working out, but he still answered). I told him about my garage door, I told him that I needed to replace the springs, I told him that I needed heavy duty springs and he said, «$ 169». Whoa, what?! Did my ears deceive me? I had to ask him again to make sure that this was for a pair of heavy duty springs for an old-​school super heavy 300-​lbs garage door and he gave me assurance that they would be the right springs.
Anyway, fast forward to the following day (appointment day). He showed up around 9:20 am for a 9:30 am appointment. How do I know this? Well, because I wasn’t home and he had to call me. Made me feel bad. But hey, I had 10 minutes!!! He came in and started getting to work. I asked him again about the springs and he started telling me about the kind of garage door that I have and the garage door that my neighbor has (lighter), etc. Anyway, bam, bam, bam! Snap, snap, snap! Clink! Clank! Sweat! Huff! Puff! He was done within about 30 minutes.
I wrote him a check, gave him and his helper a couple bottle of gatorades (It was HOT!!) and said my thank you.
I asked him about maintenance and how much he would charge. He told me to just do it myself and safe some money. Told me to remember to spray the springs and the rollers with lithium spray and I should be good. He offers 1 year warranty for parts and labor. Pretty awesome.
Great dude, professional, on-​time, AFFORDABLE!
Highly recommended!
P. S. He takes cash or checks only.
