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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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

"Aaron came out same day. He found the problem in 10 minutes and had it fixed in under an hour. Two other companies told me I needed a new opener. I didn't."

Jose Luis F., Lake Forest, CA

"I was quoted $1,800 by another company. Aaron fixed it for $180. Honest, fast, and he explained everything he was doing. Will never call anyone else."

Mariz J., Lake Forest, CA

"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."

Mike T., Foothill Ranch, CA

Almost never. A broken spring is one of the most common garage door repairs and one of the most fixable. Aaron replaces the spring, inspects the full system, and you’re back in business. Most Lake Forest homeowners are surprised how affordable spring replacement is compared to what other companies quote for a new door.

Aaron diagnoses it before recommending anything. Most opener problems โ€” motor issues, logic board failures, sensor misalignment, remote sync โ€” are repairable. He only recommends replacement when repair doesn’t make economic sense.
