What customers keep saying

Read enough reviews of this business and the same three things come up. He answers the phone. He shows up when he said he would. And he fixes what is broken without trying to sell you something bigger.

One customer reviewed A-1 in 2006, again in 2017 and again in 2021. In 2017 he wrote that A-1 installed his door when the house was built more than 20 years earlier, and that he still calls Sturdy for anything to do with it.

Who shows up at your door

Owner

Sturdy Todd

Sturdy started A-1 Door Services in 1985 and has been fixing Charlotte garage doors ever since. More than 40 years in, there is not much a spring, opener or bent track can show him that he has not already seen.

A lot of his week is repeat customers: people whose doors he hung decades ago, calling him back for the next thing. He still answers his own phone, he would rather fix what you have than sell you something new, and he will tell you straight when a door has plenty of life left in it.

Technician

JP Daniels

JP is the newest face on the A-1 truck. He was born and raised in Charlotte and is learning the trade straight from Sturdy, one job at a time: springs, cables, openers, all of it, done the way A-1 has done it since 1985.

He is also a lifelong Panthers fan. If he is at your house on a fall Sunday, he has already checked the score. Ask him about the season. He has opinions.
