Great experience from start. Having got a quote some weeks earlier phoned to order the garage door. Excellent service and no deposit needed just pay on completion if satisfied. Arranged date to have new door fitted and everything went smoothly great job ! Would recommend company to anyone with no hesitation.

The Door Depot installed an electric Hormann garage door for me. The service was top quality, friendly and efficient. They simply turned up, cracked on with the job and everything was completed in less than a day. They tidied up and removed all the packaging and the old door before they left. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. They spontaneously sang Happy Birthday to my 15 year old! I rarely leave reviews but I'm very happy to celebrate how good a service Alex provided. I'd name check his colleague too, but I didn't get his name. Anyway, thank you both, and thank you to Shirley for ensuring

Excellent service in replacing my non-functioning garage door. There was a bit of a delay as the new door had to be ordered and there was a bit of a backlog after the xmas/new year holidays. Once the door was available, they came quickly to remove and take away the old garage door and replace it with the lovely new one. The two guys who came to do the work were polite and professional. I would certainly recoomend.
