What Customers Say About Our Spring & Cable Repair in Olive
Real reviews from Olive and nearby Orange neighborhoods.
“Our Orange Park Acres door at 19:58: the left cable birdcaged on the drum, so the door hung like a shrug. Orange Park Acres horse properties and their wide custom doors. They reeved a new left cable, seated the drum, and leveled the shrug out of the door for this Orange Park Acres door. Hardware stays clean.”
“In Santiago Hills at 5:20, extension springs were the original 1979 pair and the door felt like it weighed a ton. Santiago Hills slopes above Chapman with settling tracks. They converted the 1979 extension pair to torsion and added safety cables at 5:20 in Santiago Hills. Backup proved out.”
“Excellent and fast! This is the second time Steven has helped us and we will definitely call him again if we need service.”
