I contacted AR-BE and they arrived the very next day. Victor presented my options and I chose a new door, after which the order was placed. He returned the following day, which was a remarkably fast turnaround. The service and workmanship were exceptional. I am thrilled and extremely satisfied. I want to thank you again for everything you do.

If your in need of a garage door installed professionally by skilled employees I recommend AR-BE Garage Doors. Any time I had issues with my garage door opening and closing the owner would stop by and in no time make the proper adjustments and my door was working properly and I wasn't even charged for his time. I highly recommend this company.

Report
I don't write many reviews but they deserve the recognition. I called at 11am and they were able to schedule me for same day service, very courteous company, from the technician to the customer service rep. I told them my garage door wouldn't close, kept getting tripped by the sensor even though there wasn't an obstruction. The green light was on so I wasn't sure what it could be.
Scott, the technician, took a look at told me that it sometimes does this, all it needs is an adjustment so it shines brighter, it's only noticeable when you get up close to the sensor light hat you can see a slight flicker.
He adjusted the sensor/light and quickly fixed my issue. He didn't want to charge because it took him all of 2 minutes to fix, didn't even give me a chance to offer him some lunch money. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who ask.
