Read itWho Writes These
Nate C. He owns Above All Garage Door Service and he is usually the technician on the job. Everything on these pages comes out of Valley garage doors rather than out of a manufacturer brochure, and every price quoted matches the price list. If something here is wrong, it is wrong because he got it wrong, not because somebody wrote it who has never wound a spring.
