Great service from the Team at Eastern Garage Doors. They were all very courteous, efficient,prompt and with good advice re our garage roller door problem..
It was a hassle free experience to have a new door supplied and installed at a competitive price.
A pleasure dealing with this business which I can highly recommend.
The staff in Eastern Garage Doors are fantastic with excellent communication. My first call was answered by Carolyn, she was friendly and super helpful. She made the booking then texted me to confirm the time.
Steve came on the time, he is efficient, truly professional and expert. My garage was fixed quickly. I will definitely recommend this company to my family and friends.
Wow so impressed with Eastern Garage Doors! After having another company out previously that were no help I’d say look no further than these guys! From my first call to Carolyn it was fantastic. Great follow up to confirm they could do the job and Steve the Tradesman was FANTASTIC! He arrived on time and explained what needed to be done. Couldn’t recommend Steve highly enough. The whole process was very professional thank you!
I had an issue with my manually operated rear garage roller door coming out of it's guides and couldn't get it back in. I rang one highly rated garage door company in Bayswater twice but got zero replies back. I then rang Eastern Garage Doors who quoted me a fixed call out fee of $160 to fix the door issue and also a price to install a motor for that same door. Steve came out two days later, on time and he was brilliant. Retensioning the roller door so that it would go back into it's guides was a major effort and Steve's expertise was on full display. There was no way I could have done that. The installation of the motor was relatively simple. Great service, great price, great company... a rarity these days. I could not recommend Eastern Garage Doors highly enough and will definitely use them again if a problem arises.
100% satisfied
An old B&D 4 was dying by degrees and I got an excellent quote to supply and install a MERLIN unit from EGC.
Great price all up included, actually not a lot more than some selling just the hardware on eBay
Fantastic communications with Danielle and Georgie getting it all scheduled and installed. SO easy to deal with and so on the ball.
Darren came punctually and got it all installed.
He troubleshot the old one quickly just to see, but it was beyond all help. We both had a laugh about 30 years we got from it though.
He cleaned up spotlessly crushing the boxes neatly into our recycling bin.
Showed us how it worked, demonstrated the finer points.
Took the old one away to garage door opener graveyard.
Company vehicle spotless, Darren well presented, groomed and a safe careful worker.
