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.

My garage door spring had broke and I needed it replaced. I called on Wednesday and was given a flat rate including tax over the phone and was told the technician would be at my house the next day. Today, Thursday, I received an "I'm en route to your home and will arrive in 30-40" call from the serviceman. Kevin who serviced my door was very pleasant and professional.

He completed the job in less than an hour and the estimated price was what I paid. He also used the side door to access my garage rather than coming through the house. At the end, he answered any questions I had. Overall, I am thrilled. My garage door is back in working order with no fear of the springs hurting anyone. Thank you JD Griffiths!

We had JD Griffiths Company out to replace broken springs on our garage door. They were very courteous, finished the job quickly and were very affordable. I would definitely call them again!

We had a service door to our garage installed. The installers did a great job. It adds such a beautiful appearance to the garage. VERY VERY happy with the finish product. Would highly recommend this company to anyone. So glad we chose you.

My garage spring broke back in fall of 2017 and I hired JD Griffiths to replace it. The service was excellent at the time, and the price was fair. The service people were friendly. In June of 2019 I noticed that one of the door panels was starting to sag, causing the force sensor to trip. I had no reservations about calling JD Griffiths again - and they came out and quickly added a strut and also gave everything a thorough review including re-tightened springs and re-balanced the door - all for a very reasonable price once again. 5 stars

Hired to replace our aging garage. Project was supposed to be complete by now and we have paid $21,107. Started 7 weeks ago and started by destroying our internet and phone lines during the demo, then running their trunk into our gate. Poured the slab a month ago, but haven't shown up again since. Customer service is abysmal. Bob, the owner, won't return our phone calls. Brad, the foreman, is rude. Looks like a few years ago they did good work, but our experience has been terrible (and still isn't over). We wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

My garage door had been having problems opening and closing smoothly. Finally, on the day of a huge snowstorm it came off the tracks, cable came off the spool and wouldn't close. I made the call and scheduled an appointment for a estimate on Sunday morning. The gentleman showed up right on time and took a look at the damage. He explained what needed to be fixed and replaced and answered my questions. Thankfully it wasn't as bad as I thought and the price he quoted was fair. The work was done quickly and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend J.D. Griffiths if you have any garage needs.

Our experience with this company started out pretty OK. I called and I set up an estimate with Jerry. Jerry called three days before the appointment and ask if we could reschedule to the following week because of some things happening. I agreed. And the following week comes and it's half an hour after the appointment time and no one is here. I call Jerry and he apologized said he had written the appointment in the wrong spot.

We rescheduled and he came out later that day. He seemed really nice. He listened to what we wanted and made suggestions. He got us our estimate within a reasonable timeframe. He told us that if we liked the contract and signed it within a certain timeframe, he could have the garage completed by November 2018. Well, after we got the estimate and said we were interested in working with him, he then started to backpedal.

Suddenly there were issues on his side and he needed to talk to the city inspector. He gave us the whole story - if our garage would require frost footings their company does not do frost footings. Well that's a complete load of BS. JD Griffith builds attached garages which require frost footings. So, they do frost footings, but they do not want to do our job. Also, he did not offer us any other options for building our garage like other contractors have done. Jerry talked to the city inspector and sent me an email stating JD Griffith does not do frost footings, if we could get someone to do the concrete then he would gladly build our garage for us if we wanted. Yeah, I don't think so.

If I can't trust a contractor to be truthful with me, then I am not picking that contractor to work for me. Lots of overpromising and under delivering. Just be honest. If the job is too complicated for you or if you do not have enough time to complete it, let the homeowner know.

My garage door spring needed to be replaced. I called J D Griffiths in the morning, a technician arrived in the early afternoon and replaced the spring efficiently and for a fair price. Should I have other garage door issues, I will call them.

I called JD Griffiths when my garage door opener stopped working correctly. They had a tech out the next day at the time promised for service. It was a simple repair and was fully explained to me. The plastic gears needed to be replaced. The repair was done within the time promised.

We had Pat out to replace a spring on our garage door. The door wasn't closing properly and Pat came back out and made things right. I just want to say thank you for the great service. Pat is a real gem.

Excellent repair and service. Guy came right on time & replaced our garage door spring, straightened out the track & had everything running smoothly in about a half hour. Charged exactly what they estimated, which was pretty reasonable. Would highly recommend this professional company!

We used JD Griffiths to replace 3 garage doors on a garage remodeling project for us. From recommendations to installation they were timely and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend them for replacement garage door installation.

JD Griffiths is a Top Notch Company. I have had the pleasure of doing business with JD Griffiths on many occasions. over many years. You will not find a better family owned business. You do not build a stellar reputation spanning 50 years unless you are experts at what you do. This is whats wrong with review sites. allowing 10 yr old complaints. Ridiculous, While other garage builders garages are falling down, leaking or rotting after 10 years a person is bitter about flaking driveway.

Also complaint about scheduling? Seriously? your Dr. keeps you waiting hours, your city overcharges for taxes and your complaint in life was scheduling confusion? Building quality structures is a huge undertaking. Without a doubt we all made the best decision when we elected to do business with JD Griffiths. There are hundreds of sloppy, fly by night garage builders.

They will slap up a garage in a few days and disappear or out of business in two years. Would this have made Karina or Diana happy? You need to keep a perspective and know when you cross the line on being fair or unfair with your experiences. JD Griffiths has been around Milwaukee for something like 50years " that's heck of a long time in any industry" I normally do not write reviews but I stumbled across Karina's review and as someone who has had many interaction with JD Griffiths Company I felt compelled to set the record straight. Shame on those who complain 10 years after the fact or those who feel entitled to have no confusion in scheduling or unexpected events take place in life. EVER HAVE A NEW HOUSE BUILT. Having JD Griffiths on the job was a wise decision. know where they are located? same address for the last 50 YEARS. I am just a regular guy who appreciates quality in a world where its so rare.

JD Griffiths did a great job installing my garage doors 6 years ago. Last week a spring broke and they fixed it, the same day I called, for a very reasonable cost. I definitely recommend.

I had them tear down an old 2-1/2 car garage and put up a new 2 1/2 car garage. They did an awesome job from tearing it down to laying the concrete to building the garage awesome job. Would definitely recommend them to anybody.

My husband called JD Griffiths in the morning and a guy came out to fix our garage door by 2:30 in the afternoon. He was quick and professional. He fixed the problem, plus lubricated the gears free of charge. I never knew our garage door could open and close so quietly! My husband and I are very happy with the work and the price tag. The final price actually came in $5 less than he originally said it would be. and I know that isn't a lot, but every little bit counts, right? Plus, he didn't try to jack up the price and find more things wrong just to get paid more. I highly recommend this company.
