A 16-person, family-owned garage door crew that does its own installs and trains every tech in-house.

The OverHead Specialists story

Pete Hawthorne started OverHead Specialists in 2003 after 12 years as a master door installer for one of DFW's biggest national franchise. He got tired of watching subcontracted helpers do install work that needed a trained tech — and watching homeowners get stuck with bills for repairs that should have been included. So he started OverHead with three rules: every tech is a W-2 employee (no subcontractors), every truck is fully stocked for the most common repairs, and every quote is in writing before we touch the door. Today the company is 16 strong with 8 service trucks. We do 30+ Dallas garage door jobs every weekday. When you call, you get a fully-trained tech (not a helper) within 60 minutes during business hours.

Why neighbors keep calling us back

★★★★★

"Spring snapped at 5am as I was leaving for work. Called OverHead at 6:30am, they were there at 8:15am with the right spring on the truck. Door was working in 45 minutes. Made it to my 10am meeting."

"New garage door after a car bumped into ours. Got three quotes — OverHead was middle on price but had the only honest assessment of what we actually needed. Installed in one morning, looks better than the old one."

"Used OverHead at 4 of our rental properties over the past 6 years. Communication is the best in the trades — text updates, photo confirmations, clear invoicing. Tenants always happy."
