PROOF STORY
Lake Forest's Repair-First Garage Door Company
A homeowner in Lake Forest called three garage door companies. All three quoted her a new door — around $3,000.
She called Aaron. He came out, ran a full inspection, found the actual problem, and fixed it for a fraction of that cost. She didn't need a new door. She needed someone willing to spend 10 minutes diagnosing before writing up a quote.
Aaron has worked that way since he took over Alicia Garage Doors in 2015. Fix what can be fixed. Replace only when it genuinely needs replacing. It saves Lake Forest homeowners real money — and it's why they refer their neighbors.
WHY AARON
Why Lake Forest Homeowners Call Aaron
The Owner Is the Technician
When you call Alicia Garage Doors, Aaron picks up. Aaron drives to your home in Lake Forest. There's no dispatcher, no rotating crew of strangers. You get the same person every time — the one whose name is on the truck.
21-Point Inspection on Every Job
When Aaron finishes a repair, he doesn't pack up and leave. He checks the entire system — springs, cables, rollers, tracks, opener force, safety auto-reverse, weather seal. His goal: you don't call him back in a week for something preventable.
40+ Years in South OC
Frank Bullard started Alicia Garage Doors in 1981 — the second garage door company in South Orange County. Aaron grew up in the trade, took over in 2015, and runs it solo. Not a franchise. A family business with deep roots.

What Lake Forest Homeowners Say About Aaron
This was our second time using his company!! Highly recommended!!
The service is always fast, affordable, and done right. It's nice to have someone you can count on who actually takes pride in their work.
Definitely recommend Alicia Garage Doors if you ever need any garage door repairs or tune-ups. They're my go-to every time!
Most companies would've tried to upsell us on a full replacement of the door and motor, but Aaron took the time to explain our options and found a smart, cost-effective solution that saved us a ton of money without compromising on quality. You can tell he's extremely knowledgeable and experienced--he doesn't just do the work, he educates you along the way.
On top of that, they were timely, efficient, and provided excellent customer service. Everything was done quickly but thoroughly, and you can really tell they care about their customers. We also love supporting local small businesses, and Alicia Garage Doors is definitely one of those companies that makes you feel good about where your money is going.
If you're looking for fair pricing, fast service, and a team you can trust, look no further. We'll definitely be using them forever for anything garage-door related!

"He showed up on time, didn't try to upsell me on anything, and the door works better now than it did when it was new. Family-owned businesses like this are rare."

the guy who’s actually coming to fix it, not a dispatcher guessing at a window.
