John Chapman came to my house and bing bang boom he was done. He fixed everything, clearly explained what had gone wrong, and went on his way! I absolutely positively recommend CAL-Western Overhead.

I bought two new garage door openers. They work well, they were installed quickly, and we are pleased with the entire experience.

One of our automatic garage door openers malfunctioned. We gave Cal-Western a call based upon Yelp reviews, and John provided us with great communication and fast professional service.

Several years ago John replaced an old garage door at our house and was willing to work around the other construction we had going on at the time (I made things complicated for him) and he recently came back and installed a new opener. He is a super nice guy, responded quickly, and his work is top-notch. In both cases I was shocked by the bill--super affordable!

"Just bought a home, the garage door was rusty and insulation falling apart. The garage opener was antique Sears with only 1 remote to share between my wife and I. So I call Cal-Western and John was there to save the day. He was no less than great from start to finish. Provided me with a super fair quote for a new door AND a new opener during his free estimate visit, so much so, I said let's proceed right then and there. 2 weeks later he gives me a shout saying the door I chose was in and if I was available for a next day install. Heck yeah! Install was quick, area was clean post work and my wife and I each can open the garage without sharing. John and Cal-Western is now a permanent fixture in my contacts for garage related needs and to refer when friends and family ask for a recommendation on a garage door guy! Thank you so much again John!

Real professionalism! John helped us select the right replacement garage door, covering all the options, pros and cons. We could not be happier with the new door, and the cost was reasonable.

John came over promptly and did a fantastic job replacing a broken torsion spring. Price was great as well. Will be using him again if I ever need any further service.

Excellent service and fair price. Was on-time for the appointment and got the job done quickly. The spring on the roll-up door broke and I couldn't get the garage door to open to get the car out of the garage.

John from Cal-Western garage doors is a true professional. Not only did he give us a competitive quote, he showed up exactly when he said he would. When he came back to install the new garage door, he called to let us know when he would be there. I highly recommend John to anyone also because his workmanship is top notch!

My garage door was not closing all of the time. It seemed like it was occasionally getting stuck. I called John and he retighten the springs and fixed some of the track, but told me that it was the opener that was the issue and not the springs. The door worked fine for the next two days and the same issue came back. I called John and said "when can you install another opener". John installed the opener. A month later and the door is working like a charm. John is very professional, works efficiently and his pricing is very fair. I strongly recommend his services. Thank you John.

Best company I've dealt with in a long time. When they say they will be there, they are there. Extremely polite and know exactly what they are doing. The owner is wonderful. He is kind and on time. I have recommended them to three people. If you have or need a garage door fix or complete installation they are the people you should call.

Fantastic service and the best price I could find. I got three different estimates, and I’m so glad I went with Cal Western doors. We updated our old garage door to a modern three panel carriage style look and we absolutely love it. I don’t write reviews very often I’m writing this one voluntarily because they deserve all five stars and you should definitely check them out.

The springs on our garage door broke yesterday. We emailed John, he called within 10 minutes with a quote and an appointment for today. He came on time, very courteous, got to work right away. The door was fixed in 20 minutes. Very reasonable rate. Very happy!

On time, good price, excellent job. John saved me hundreds by repairing my opener instead of replacing it. New door is perfect. He shows great knowledge, is personable, and even went out of his way to help my neighbor with his garage door adjustment.

John not only does quality work but his rates are very reasonable. He is responsive via phone, text, email, answering message left on his website, etc. He stands behind his work. My experience has left me very satisfied and highly recommend this company for your needs.
