Garage Door Companies in Tyler Texas

Carriage Garage Door Tyler Texas

You can reach Hollywood Door in Tyler Texas at : 1.866.454.3667

When picking a garage door company to update or install a garage door you have a couple of well known garage door installation companies to choose from in Tyler Texas. Overhead Door Systems has always been the brand name that I was aware of but when searching the internet and phone book I also discovered Hollywood Garage Doors. Hollywood Garage Doors has been in business for over 50 years. I was not aware of this company and to hear about how long they have been around in the city of Tyler Texas really shocked me. I was impressed with their prices and selection in garage doors and was happy to know they had their carriage garage doors on sell for the same price as their regular garage door prices.

I also spoke with my brother when deciding on a garage door installer in Tyler. He had used a new company about a year ago and the company went out of business right after installing his garage door. One of the installation jobs they were contracted to do was the electrical. The garage door company my brother used only did half the job and never came back to complete it. The company went out of business and my brother was stuck trying to find another garage door company to complete the job. I asked Hollywood Garage Door Company if this is a common situation and they explained that many people start up a garage door installation company only to go out of business soon after because they just don’t realize at first what all goes into a garage door installation job.

I was very pleased to have used Hollywood to complete my garage door installation on my garage port. What was once only a garage port is now a garage because of the door being added. If you have a car port don’t think that you can’t have a garage door added to it. The garage door really helps with the security of your home and vehicles and ads a little curb appeal. The price for my garage door was just as cheap as some garage door companies I called on that I had no references from. It turned out that my father and law has used Hollywood in the past and had nothing but good things to say about this company. In fact the guy he new from there went to his church. I was very happy to hear about this connection although I had already hired and committed to using this company prior to what my father and law had told me. Hearing this added reference gave me additional confidence that I had hired a good company for the job.

You can reach Hollywood Garage Door Company in Tyler Texas at: 1.866.454.3667

Let Hollywood know you heard about them from the TylerTXDirectory.com website. This is a personal reference and we have not been paid to refer Hollywood Door as a preferred garage door installation company. We simply believe they do a superb job as our new garage door can attest to and the curb appeal we have achieved at our Tyler TX home.

McStarbucks in Tyler

November 17th, 2009

McDonalds and Burger King have always seemed like pretty much the same place to me. The menus are nearly identical, and aside from the differences in cooking method, the food is interchangeable. In Tyler however the two franchises appear to be going in opposite directions.

Burger King on Broadway seems to turn a tidy profit. They keep a fairly steady flow of customers. The west loop B.K. on he other hand practically requires a police escort to enter the drive through. The restaurant is messy, and full of unsavory customers. From a safety standpoint, I would avoid that location at all costs.

McDonalds in Tyler is making a lot of improvements however. Their Broadway locations have been entirely remodeled after their new café theme. Flat screen TVs and interactive touch screen computer games are there to entertain both adults and children. A visit to McDonalds is almost like hanging out at the local pub or coffee shop.

Overall, I like what the chain is doing in terms of improving their stores and trying to appeal more to adults. At the end of the day however, they still serve largely Big Macs and fries. Oh I know they have salads, smoothies and gourmet coffee now but it’s still McDonald’s food. There’s a lot of competition in the city of Tyler Texas for your fast food dollar and I’m just not sure that turning the fast food icon into Starbuck’s is going to earn more of that market. Still I applaud the store’s efforts. The restaurants are quite nice!
