“What's worse than your garage door going on the fritz? At night? With the car IN the garage?  It's pretty bad. But this company came through and rescued me from certain tossing and turning all night. Joel answered the "Help!" text, got here and to work in a hurry and I have a very cool new garage door opener! Seriously, it will change my life!
Friendly, professional, calm, low-key and very knowledgeable, Joel is the best, I cannot recommend him (and this company) more highly! Thank you, Tip Top! And thank you very much Joel!”

“I can't give enough accolades and thanks to Joel with Tiptop Door and Gate. This afternoon, on a Sunday, he was at my home within less than 30 minutes after I called. He made the garage door repair quickly and absolutely professionally. I am still stunned at this kind of excellent service, and on a Sunday!!! I'm extremely grateful and will definitely highly recommend this company - and especially Joel.”
