Feedback from a few of our satisfied customers…
“I’ve had them out a bunch of times to the house to fix various issues with our garage doors.
This past time, the tech saved me a ton of money by performing a simple repair, while the competition wanted to replace a door section for 6x as much.
What a mess that would have been. The other company misidentified the door manufacturer too so the part wouldn’t have worked.
Try these guys out. I like ’em.”

“My garage door broke yesterday evening and I contact Cal-Western Overhead immediately via Yelp/email to get a quote and a possible appointment. Not even 10-15 minutes later, I get a phone call from John at Cal-Western Overhead. He was very nice and was very knowledgeable. He said he could fix it the next day and the price was very reasonable. Today, he came and fixed my garage. He was quick and did a great job. He even fixed another part on my garage that he noticed was not working right and replaced it free of charge. I really recommend this business with any of your garage repair needs. They are great!!!!”

“If you are looking for new doors or maintenance on your existing garage doors, look no further than John from Cal Western Overhead Doors. John was referred to us by another customer and installed a beautiful glass garage door and another garage door that we actually used in our main house. John was reliable, friendly and the best price in town. My wife and I both agree we can not think of a single thing John could have done to make us any happier. Keep up the great work John and thanks for making two more very satisfied customers!!!”

“I called Cal Western based on all the good Yelp reviews and John the owner was great. The overhead spring had broken. He had the best price. He showed up on at our scheduled appointment. He didn’t have the part but he ordered it on Sat and he fixed it by that Monday like he said he would. He lubed and adjusted the garage door opener and it works like new. I would call John at Cal Western Overhead door again for my garage door needs.”

“Came home from work on a Saturday morning, to find that my garage door was broken. Made some calls and headed to the beach with the family, as originally planned. John from Cal-Western Overhead Garage Door returned my voicemail in a timely manner, and spoke to me over the phone to diagnose the problem. Once we figured out I needed the springs replaced, he gave me an out-the-door price and said he could be there by 5:30pm (keep in mind, this was close to 4pm ON A SATURDAY). I was pleasantly surprised that he could come out so quickly on a weekend and for an extremely reasonable price! (I had been quoted more than double that by someone else earlier, because it was weekend after hours rates). End result: door fixed and happy customer. Thank you, John!”

“I am a busy home repair contractor in Ventura who knows nothing about automatic garage door openers and rollup garage doors. I called John on a Monday morning and we set up an appointment within 2 hours. He showed up on time, made one small adjustment, gave me lots of advice on lubing and adjusting the door and only charged me $29 for a trip fee. What a great guy and what great service! As a contractor, I come across flaky service people all the time! I can’t recommend John and Cal Western overhead door highly enough, the service industry needs more people like him”

“Don’t waste your time looking for garage door services all over town. This is the company to do business with. John the owner replied quickly to my email for a estimate he honored the time to the minute and gave me good advice regarding replacing two of my old garage doors. Under promised and over delivered that should say it all. The garage doors look great, there affordable and frankly John takes the usual pain with dealing with contractors away by providing old school service. I highly recommend his company and will refer many people to him. Thank you John for the awesome doors at a great price.”

“Great honest service. I called Cal-Western Overhead based on the Yelp reviews only. I got the owner John. First he gave me some helpful hints over the phone to try and see if my garage door opener could be fixed. When it did not work he came out the next day. Turned out it just needed to be adjusted and lubed. I also had a broken garage door opener (clicker) and he had an extra one with him and he gave it to me free. All this for the price of a service call. He also said that if the unit started acting up again and we ended up having to replace it due to a bad circuit board (i.e. unit 13 years old) he would do so and credit the service call fee to the replacement bill. I highly recommend this company. He could have taken advantage of our lack of knowledge, but did not.
Thanks John keep up the good service.”

“John, the owner, came over right away to evaluate our broken garage door. We were expecting the worst and assumed we would have to replace it. So, we were thrilled when John said he could repair it for 1/5 of the cost of a new one. When I called, he came within 1 hour to evaluate it. Then he arrived the next day and repaired it. I was elated with how quickly the job was done for a reasonable price.
I felt I could trust John because he did not try to pressure us into getting a new door and spending more than we needed to and seemed really honest about our options. I agree with the other review about good, old fashioned service!”

“Excellent Service!! Great Price!! Wow, being female and all I researched this before making any decisions. I called several places in Ventura to fix my broken garage door torsion springs. One was broken but it’s better to fix both as they come in pairs. Depending on the size and weight of your door, will depend on your price. I called several places in Ventura and everyone wanted $100.00 or more over the price I got from Cal Western. The internet told me how much a pair of springs cost, and how long it would take to repair. So I already knew if I was going to get ripped off or not. John from Cal Western did same day service and it took him less than 20 minutes to replace both torsion springs. I highly recommend Cal Western Overhead Garage Doors for your service!”

“John, Thank you for your craftsmanship and ethics. It’s refreshing and appreciated.”
Maureen L. Ventura
“Dear John, A neighbor from around the corner”…”knocked on our door today to ask about the installer of our new garage doors. I had no hesitation in giving you high marks for the installation and recommended her to you. She said she had a single door for replacement. This incident just reminded me to write to thank you for a job well done, especially for the framing around the two doors to keep dust and rain out, which was a problem with the old wooden doors. We appreciate your work and have no hesitation in recommending you to others.”

“Attn: John, This is a letter of appreciation and can be used as a testimonial when you wish to “brag about satisfied customers”. You gave me a very clear explanation of what we needed to replace our three garage doors. You explained which doors, which motors and did not even let me know about all of the special extras that came with them (a very pleasant surprise!). You spelled out everything clearly and accurately on the written estimate and when you did the work, there were no extras or change order surprises. We have now been using the doors for over one month and everything is working just fine. And this letter I have written to you was unsolicited by you. Thank you again for running your business the way it should be run.”
Joe G. Somis, September 2007
“John, You are an honorable man. Thank you for the time you took so that I could get my car out of the garage. And thank you for giving me the best deal you could to replace the garage door. Your professional and personal integrity is much appreciated. My best wishes to you and your family for a happy healthy prosperous and fulfilling 2006.”
