These guys were my last hope. I was wanting it to work. Came out to fix the door, didn't have screws to do the job, promised to return the next day. Stayed home from work, no show... called next day, told they would need to quote the repair, stand by.... nothing. Won't respond to emails or calls now.
I wish there was a reliable company to fix a door in a city like Austin but alas... there doesn't appear to be. Hull service was the same thing.
It's not rocket science. Just show up when you say your going to show. call back when you say you will, and don't make the customer

I have done business with this company for 30 years. They were quite wonderful till I don't know what's happened. They send a technician out to one of my rental properties who declared that the garage door opener needed replacing. Trusting them I ordered the new one paid for it but in the meantime a handyman went by and $40 later it was fixed. They gave me my money back on the garage door opener that I didn't purchase however they were unwilling to refund the service charge for the technician going out and was trying to sell me a garage door opener I didn't need. Incompetence

I didn't actually get any service from them but when I needed them to do some immediate repair on my garage door, they were EXTREMELY quick to respond and were very communicative. My friend's husband ended up taking care of the repair but I know who I'll be calling for any kind of major garage door service next time! Just knowing how fast they responded and how willing they were to help me out when I needed it is enough for me to absolutely call them back when I will need a new garage door.

Oh my gosh, thank Heaven they messed up on my appointment. I had an appointment for someone to come between noon and 5pm. Never heard anything so I called them. I was told the service call would be $100 and then the technician, which I appreciated his honesty, said if I come now, since it's after hours it'll be $275! This was after 7pm. At that point I said I was going somewhere else. I called Overhead Garage Door, was told my problem sounded minor and the service call would be $29!!!! PLUS they're coming out tomorrow. So thank you Cowart Door for being so unprofessional.

After taking today and working from home on a day that I really shouldn't have, I was told they would come today and fix my garage door issue.
I waited around expecting a call and got one at 320pm telling me that they could not make it today and wanted to reschedule. Due to my schedule next week I cannot take off time from work or work from home. I asked about why someone else couldn't come later and I was told I would be charged an after hours rate. Why would you charge me an after hours rate when I've already been waiting around for you all day? Not very happy, and as a trusted

I've had my wood Cowart garage door for 5 years now. It's probably the best single decision I've made in my $100K + of home improvements I've done on this home since 2011.
I have it lightly sanded and a new clear coat put on it every several years, along with my front door. An outstanding piece of craftsmanship backed up by great customer service. Worth every penny.

Good business. No-nonsense folks who seem to be highly knowledgeable in their specialty (i.e. garage door systems).
So, here's what happened:
A couple weeks ago, my builder-grade (read: junk) garage door system fell apart on me. While closing, several wheels fell off the rails, part of the tension wire unwound, and it was a complicated mess. In my (idiotic) attempts to rectify the situation, I ended up damaging the garage door and bending part of the garage door opener.
Of course, this happened on a Sunday night, leaving me with no feasible method for securing my garage. Thankfully, Cowart

This is review is more based from a vendor relationship with Cowart Doors. I have had a great experience working with them. All of the staff is friendly and open to answering questions. Always prompt on answering calls and e-mails. I would highly recommend doing business with them to anyone I come across.

I purchased two large overhead doors with openers from Cowart a little over 3 years ago. Both doors had issues with the primer (applied by the actual door manufacturer and not Cowart) bubbling shortly after installation. Not sure if Cowart knew the door manufacturer had issues. I'll give Cowart a pass on this one. However, one of the openers started having issues with the operating limits from almost the beginning. Cowart gave me the name of a local (Houston) repairman. (It should point out that these doors were probably only opened maybe once or twice a week. Neither were seeing a

I would give this company a "zero" if I could. The owner is not professional and does not stand by his product. Cowart built and installed our garage door. The door did not work correctly from day 1. We had Cowart repair the door at our expense over and over. We also had Cowart service the garage door regularly per their recommendations, yet it still contained to have major repairs needed about every 5-6 months. This past time that it broke, we called Cowart...again... and the owner basically said tough luck, not my problem and that he was "done dealing with us". We have

We had custom wood garage doors installed just before Christmas. All along the way--from measuring to final installation--we experienced nothing less than complete professionalism. We also had new garage door openers installed (quiet, belt drive types). The attention to detail during the construction of the doors and the staining of the final doors was impressive. My wife can be a very tough one to please with such projects and she was overjoyed at the final result. No additional adjustments (so far) have been required.
I highly recommend Cowart--especially if you are in the market for custom

My husband and I live out in Cedar Park. We just got a "new" home, it's 2 years old previously owned. The garage door that came with the house didn't fit the feel of our home so we did some research and called around to get a feel of pricing. Cowart was a little pricier than the other places we called, but we were willing to pay more for quality of service.
They came over for an estimate. We wanted our garage door to be customized - wooden garage doors with three windows on top. A technician came out to give us an estimate and we agreed to get the project started ASAP.

Were called twice for service. Both visits yielded the same attitude, quality and cost. Technicians continually told us that we needed a new door and full system, rather than repairing our old system. When directly instructed that we just wanted it fixed, they were condescending. $300 for a repair visit w/o parts is extremely high. Repairs required revisits and lack of attention to detail along with the attitude led us to another vendor that does great work.

My experience from start to finish has been a good one with Cowart. They delivered the doors I wanted ahead of time. The main reason for my 5 star review is that we have had two "warranty calls" where they were responsive and fixed the issues within days of calling.
Keep in mind if you are buying door(s) for an older home, the initial install might not be the "last" install. My doors have defiantly needed some adjustments to fit exactly right.

The home we purchased in August, 2009 was outfitted with unique garage doors - probably commercial. They had no safety equipment (cameras or pressure sensors) and were very unsteady. I called several "garage door" companies; many admitted that they did not have any expertise with these doors, and those that did wanted to charge a service call fee just to take a look.
When I called Cowart, I spoke with Kamla who knew exactly what we had. She sent a crew out to give us a free estimate, walked us through the issues, and provided a written estimate. They then explained what would happen

I'm a true believer that if someone works hard to remedy a mistake that they should be given a second shot. I received an apology letter and a refund check for the service call from the owner of Cowart Doors. So there you have it, they are back in my good graces... even though I found out I could have gotten the same doors from Costco for $600 less, but that's my bad. And my doors really do look fabulous!
