Todd and JD Griffiths did a fantastic job getting my mother's garage rebuilt after a tree fell on it during a storm in July 2021. They did everything they could to get the garage built as quickly as possible. Todd and the owner were always very responsive to any needs or questions. When Todd was out, the owner stepped in to assist on a time-sensitive issue. You do not often find this kind of service, especially with contractors. If you need a garage built and you are in their service area, this is the company to do it!

Brad and the JD Griffiths crew did a fantastic job on our new garage. The project was complicated because we were not living in the area at the time of construction. We basically had to trust Brad and his crew to perform the scope of work, on time and on budget. When we finally saw the finished garage in person when we moved in months later, we couldn't have been more pleased. The company has a strong reputation for good reason and Brad is person of his word.

Our garage door opener stopped working after a recent power outage. We called JD Griffith's and had a service tech come out very quickly to check things out. The opener was not repairable but we were able to immediately make an appointment to have a new opener installed. Kevin took care of us both times and did a wonderful job! He explained everything thoroughly and was a delight to work with! We would not hesitate to refer anyone to JD Griffith's and will definitely use them in the future should the need arise.

Prompt and friendly service. Made my inquiry online and they got back to me the next day and had a tech come out the same day. Took 20 minutes to fix my broken spring on my garage door.

Our new garage has been working great. Such a quality job at every phase of the project. All special requests (running 240 for future EV) were met. Love the 18 foot wide door.
