Georges Garages & Doors

I have never EVER posted a review on yelp before, but I was sitting in my garage (that was built by George's) and I couldn't help but think, "I could probably have done a better job than this & I can barely use a power drill." Here's some back story, not that any of you care but if this review can save ONE person from going here, its worth it.

We hired "George's Garages & Doors" back in 2019. They were super nice and seemed like they knew what they were doing. However, since pretty much the very beginning we had issues with them. They would schedule days/times to come work & then just not show up. The communication between them & us wasn't what we had hoped it'd be. Jump forward, garage finally gets finished.

Its beautiful, everything we wanted. The color, the size, everything. THEN, it rains. & suddenly our BRAND NEW garage is submerged in water. I was absolutely devastated. My boyfriend put so much of his time, money, and energy into this garage, it was his baby. My boyfriend did everything himself to this garage besides the actual build & concrete aspect of it.

He demoed it himself, he did all drywall, insulation, paint, electric, etc. ALL himself, with the help of some friends. Trying to shorten this story, we call George's they send people out to "fix" the leaks/foundation. This took 2-3 days, and then boom, we were told it was "fixed." However, it rained shortly thereafter and what do you know. ANOTHER flood. It's now been three years & the garage STILL leaks EVERY time it rains.

I know its been a long time, but its just such a huge disappointment to walk into our garage every time it rains to puddles. Moral of my story, if you want a garage that looks immaculate from the outside but absolutely horrific foundation which gives you nothing but problems, call George's Garages & Doors! (Yelp should really add a 0 stars button)

Stay away from George's Garages if you prefer not to be strong-armed! HORRIBLE people to do business with! Payed over $19k of their contract payment schedule (to the cent) and they are refusing to finish my garage because they calculated the payment schedule incorrectly. Now demanding more money to finish my garage when I have paid exactly per the signed contract! Nancy the VP and Owner is absolutely a terrible person to deal with! BEWARE! Do business with George's Garages at your own risk!

We first contacted George's Garages in May for an estimate for new garage, new cement parking pad and new cement walkway. From the start of this project, Shannon George and Lisa (office staff) were there for any and all questions we had. The pulled the permits for the work and kept me apprised during each step of the process, from the tear down to the concrete pouring, all the way to the final inspections from my town inspectors.

The teams who did the work were friendly, knowledgeable and hard-working! I am so pleased with my new garage, carport slab and sidewalk! Even with this pandemic, they were able to get the work done, and in a very professional manner. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about building a new garage, to contact George's Garages!

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness Not on time. Do not send professionals to work. A big headache. I caught on my cameras how one of their employees dented my door and they denied it after showing them the video. Had to be calling them to get the work done. Not on time. Electrician left us with no power and did not want to come back to fix it.

I would give them ZERO stars if I could. They completed a garage, and left with several glaring issues, hoping the 86 year old women wouldn't notice, she passed never seeing the garage. When I inspected there were a number of issues they should have seen. My wife called and they were to have someone out by end of week, as the house was put up for sale and the potential buyers ALL noticed the issues with the new garage.

Then I called into the office, the woman on the other end was rude, lied several times as to why they didn't come out as of yet, giving me all kinds of bullshit excuses, I can't tell you how many times the truck broke down on the way, they must hove only one truck, or one carpenter. Finally, were pulling a guy of another job, he'll be there tomorrow, its 4:30pm, nobody here, stood up again.

Buy your garage from a reputable builder, they were not the cheapest and I would NEVER HIRE them or NEVER RECOMMEND them to anyone. Average price, VERY poor quality, and lack of communication once they had a check and signed deposit. One of the worst companies I've done business with in my life, if you buy anything from them, at your own risk.

Very nice contractor to work with. Hired them to demolish and build new 2 car garage. Employees were on point from our sales, Brian Crothers coming to our house to its actual builder employees are all friendly and knowledgeable. Not counting the foundations they build my garage in a day. It's been a year and up to this day I didn't see any bad workmanship. My neighbors complemented my garage and actually called them to build theirs as well. Thank you George Garages!

0 Stars! Georges garages has lost touch with how to build quality garages and quality customer service I had; uneven cement, gutter installed incorrectly, uneven window, screws left on cement floor. Electrical work not done as asked. Unsatisfactory contractors. Sales person who promised the world, but ended up with empty promises. I will never use or recommend Georges Garages.

This company is terrible. They are shoddy business owners who promise one thing and then do the opposite. They couldn't even line up a sidewalk with the new door. When the issue arose, they ignored me and then were rude. Don't trust them.

This company is terrible don't use them they did a very bad job on my garage. George's garage and Better build garages is the same company don't use this company they do a sloppy job. The garage wasn't done neatly the siding is coming off, nails sticking up, wood cut uneven. I should take this company to court and get my money back.its ridiculous the way the office rep Beth talks to people she is horrible and rude. Unprofessional all she says is where is your money.

She refuses to listen to you by any means necessary. The owner Nancy will not talk to you on the phone. She has her staff to cover for her to say she is busy. Don't ever use this company? Never ever! Terrible!

Worst experience of my life. Workers were scheduled to show and no called no showed multiple times. Work took over twice as long as the contract said it would take. Very poor communication between not only contractor and myself but with subcontractors as well. Materials were broken and still installed and only replaced after multiple phone calls complaining about it. Work was not done as was discussed. Pushy business tactics used by salesperson. I would let them build a birdhouse for me.

I have never worked with a company that has been so accommodating to my needs! I strongly recommend this company! I have a garage door that was installed by George's Garages and Doors two years ago. This week, the door was giving me problems. The company was so responsive, and solutions oriented that I was able to have someone IMMEDIATELY on a facetime phone call (at 7:30pm!) to show them my door, she diagnosed it with me, and scheduled for service to take place the following morning. I had someone at my home at 9am, who used their expert knowledge to have the door completely fixed in less than 30min! Again, I strongly recommend working with this company!

They build garage was fast, but not professional, all around leaking water from out side, and they want still extra charge me 400 bucks, for the cut a concrete, what that's a contract for? No need to sigh it,

I hope that my review can help those that are in the market to purchase a garage in the near future. Rest assure it's always a risk when you have to hire a contractor. That's why I like to share this story with everyone that I can say do your homework. Well this is my testimony for George's garages I have to say that first of all the salesman Brian was outstanding.

He stayed with me and worked all issues out with me during the whole process. George's garages built my garage exactly to the contract. I can say that all the workers worked in a professional way. Any issues that occurred along the way they were all resolved. I now have my garage and all the neighbors love it. If anybody has any further questions feel free to hook up with me on messager.

Let me start by saying George's Garages (GG) was recommended by an employee from a car dealership. We trusted his judgement because he seemed very particular about his classic car collection. Also he didn't provide a roaring reco, just a gentle one that seemed sincere. I started searching for garage builders, one of which was GG, but after reading the reviews, I was extremely skeptical about contacting them. I'm so glad we did. Larry, our salesman was the ultimate professional. EVERYTHING he promised, they delivered on.

He spent a few hours answering all of our questions as well as addressing the bad reviews. We did not settle on GG the same day because I wanted more quotes, and a good salesperson can sell anything. We had five salespersons come out and provide quotes, and GG's pricing and professionalism was hands down the best.it wasn't even close. The project started on time and was completed nine days ahead of schedule.

As for the construction aspect, it looks solid. My husband is a critical thinker and he too agrees that GG did a great job. If we find any construction mishaps like gaps, leaks, cracks, etc., I'll adjust my review accordingly. I'm sorry that many of the reviewers had an awful experience, and hopefully that crew is no longer employed with GG.

Beware! Let me start this off with a little background about myself. I'm a union tradesman with Quality Quality Quality at my upmost importance. I've completed 1000's of jobs in my field and have worked along side many other trades. If you don't mind taking 6+ days off of work to be home for George's garage. This is the place for you!

Most of these days are for fixing what they have installed incorrectly or not installed at all. My garage failed both the Building and Electric inspection from the village. On top of that. I noticed many things myself during the install. But, was told "This is how we do it". I will list some of the issues which have been resolved. Only because I held the final payment. Ridge Vent on the roof nailed down flush with the shingles. Making it useless. Siding popping off in multiple spots.

The eaves were faced with aluminum flashing. But, we're not wrapped closing gaps for water and/or insects to enter and rot the lumber. There was no blocking installed between the wall studs. The Electrician's installed the wrong manufacturer of breakers in my panel. Also, there was not the correct number of electrical outlets installed per the village requirements.

As I said earlier. These were corrected. Now to the list of things that haven't been corrected and I've had no luck getting a response from George's as of this date. The concrete inside the garage has multiple cracks in it. I'm not sure if this is normal. But, I would think the number of them is an issue. Water is entering the entry door every time it rains.

I noticed the door isn't a pre-hung and has no weather stripping around the door. So, If all this is acceptable to you? Then, By all means. George's Garage is the right place for you!

Thanks Georges for the beautiful job done. Sheena was my salesperson and she made the process easy and smooth with her in depth knowledge and experience. Concrete and carpenter guys used high quality materials. I know that because i am i a similar business. Garage looks great. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Georges.

Writing an update on my 8-15-2017 review. I contacted Georges yesterday for an issue with my gutters. my garage is less than a year old but I was told I was " out of warranty " as the warranty starts when the contract is signed. 12 days past my 1 year, as I signed the contract with them on May 9th. funny how they can warranty something that doesn't exist, as it took months to get my garage built so my warranty on my new garage was ticking away while still looking at my old garage. so technically I only had a 8 month warranty as they finished building AUG 8th. anyway.

I was told they could come out and make the repairs at no cost. " if I would remove my post from Aug 2017." shocked by this I said " you wont just come and fix this because I had a bad experience and was unhappy with the service I received?" she says "if you take down that post, we will repair at no charge". very bad business practice. would rather benefit themselves than keep their customers happy.

DONT DO IT! Well, We had a garage build in August of 2017. After a complete tore down of old garage and driveway there was a different crew for getting rid of old construction to different crew pouring the concrete and another crew to finally build a garage. 33K later I was happy. till 6 months later when my concrete started to crack and crumbled. Don't tell me it's weather related.

At that time there was few projects done in my neighborhood: driveways, garages etc. none of other places have had cracks in the driveways nor crumbled surface. After all this money we have spent it hurts. No wonder they don't give you warranty on it. It's so easy to take someone's life savings and than just turn their back on you. We were saving for a long time for this project.

We wanted get rid of old garage and driveway because it was old and cracked everywhere. Now we have almost the same results. I work in customer service. Their responses were just cold and careless. Why would they care right? It's not their problem. Yes it's ours. Naive people that would hope to get the job done right after spending 33K. Shame on us.

Be aware. Please read the reviews. Check every company you can. Good price doesn't mean good job done. Two stars for Brian and because garage is ok even though siding has fallen twice already. Do the research. Get the lawyer! Good luck

Used Georges Garages to build our beautiful garage. Brian the salesperson was wonderful. We built an over-sized 3 car garage, which we absolutely LOVE. Was initially upset because of a a drainage system that had to be installed, but it was Wheeling township that was insisting on the drainage system and miscommunication. Had a few issues at the end but Nancy George is an EXTREMELY professional person and smoothed them out. Would definitely recommend Georges Garages

Very disappointing experience. In researching both Danley's and George's, I decided to go with George's since they were a family business. I was told by the sales rep Sheena George that I did not have to give a down payment until they began work but I did in good faith - a $2000 check deposit. They began their permit process with the Village, there was a setback requirement and they would not be start or move forward without the Village Committee to review and approve the work.

During this process I got really ill and was in and out of the hospital for 2 years. I requested my deposit back and they refused even though the work was never started, no materials ordered or loss in costs. They said it could be applied for a future project of which the Village will not approve. Its a situation that I thought I would never experience. I've been in Client Relationship Management, Customer Service for over 15 years, this is unacceptable, I am extremely disappointed and rather upset that they do business this way.

My garage was built two winters ago and initially I was fairly satisfied. Within a year's time, I had a couple of small issues so I spoke to Natalie and she sent people out to make repairs. The reason I'm giving them 1 star is that one of the issues that was so called "repaired" was loose siding on two sides of my garage. Well, unfortunately about a year later the same siding began to fall again and it wasn't due to some crazy storm or any other freak of nature; it was due to poor workmanship.

So of course I call to notify them of the problem and Nancy says that she would send someone to repair it and to give her secretary my information. Days later, no update. I call back to follow up and was later notified that my garage was no longer under warranty therefore I needed to call a handyman! I reiterate that I'm requesting a repair on the same panels that was supposed to be repaired a year ago while it was in fact under warranty at the time which has failed again but never received a response back.

After calling back several more times, I was simply told that my garage was now too old and they weren't going to do anything about it smh. Now I'm pissed because 3 pieces of siding have fell completely and one has gone missing because it fell in the alley and I guess someone threw it away. My garage looks bootleg, I'll have to try to color match the other pieces in order to replace the missing panel AND pay someone else to properly install them! I submitted a picture of my catastrophe here on yelp and strongly warn others to beware!

Awful. George's use subcontractors so you may get workers who have experience or you may get an apprentice who's been a on bender for a week. The project started by tearing up a carport and laying concrete - a 1-2 day job. This took a month to sort out because the guy who dug up the carport did not complete the work and left the site without saying a word.

The all and powerful Nancy George decided that the car port has been demolished and cement could be poured without actually seeing the mess her guy made before he left. We went around on this one for several weeks. There was another day to get the construction team out to build the garage. The building was subpar with significant gaps, bent boards, multiple issues with the garage door, leakage where they put in the cement, etc. **One of their subcontractors said they do this in the city because they know they won't be inspected.** Based on my four month experience, I think that's probably true.

If you have an issue, the subcontractors will tell you to talk to Nancy George, who may be the most hostile customer rep ever. She is difficult to reach, often won't return calls, and even after that, she's not helpful at all. Take your business elsewhere. There are plenty of garage builders out there. One or two might even care or be willing to adhere to the inspection standards, even if they are not mandated to do so. Clearly George's doesn't care.

I am very pleased with my experience with George's. They handled the financing, and were timely with erecting my new garage. I just picked out the colors and options, and they did the rest. There was a problem with the man door. The dead bolt was not installed in a way that allowed the door to close easily. When I slammed it shut, it damaged the lock and the frame, and split the door. George's was very responsive, and came out quickly. They replaced everything in a timely manner. What else could you ask for? Mistakes happen sometimes. How a company responds really says a lot about them! 5 stars.

Just about the worst experience ever with a contractor. Subpar work floor to roof. Gaps over 2 inches wide at corners, cracked concrete within 3 days. DAYS. posted review on another sight and owner actually had the nerve to ask me to remove it. Use at own risk!

My wife and I had originally gone with Danley's because of a somewhat lower price, but as we started thousands of dollars of additional costs popped up and we learned that the floor they were going to install in the rafters would not have been structurally sound. We called Sheena back and she worked with us every step of the way. We went with a custom design and Georges made it happen.

The concrete team and builders were professional, highly skilled, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be happier. Go with them over Danley's any day of the week. Specify that you don't want Jim's Electric involved - he wasn't our favorite, but Georges fixed the situation.

This company is terrible. They use sub contractors for almost everything. The material is cheap just like the labor. Everything form the concrete which starts pitting and cracking within a month to the sub par carpentry is horrible. Use them at your own risk!
