Garage Doors Sarasota, FL

Manager

Hi I’m Steve, and I am the Manager here at D and D Garage Doors in Sarasota. Over the last few years I have been in several different jobs including customer service, motorcycle mechanic, and assistant sales manager. All of my experiences and training help me have a thorough understanding of the mechanics and how important our customers are. I decided to join the D & D Garage Doors team because of opportunities and growth the company offers. I was born and raised in Sarasota and I’m actually a former crew chief for the national motorcycle road race team. I love being able to help people, and we get all kinds of garage door issues called in, so no two days are the same. That keeps me on my toes and keeps it exciting for me.

Design Center Sales for Residential and New Construction

Hi my name is Michelle and I have been with the D & D family since 2011. I am the Sarasota garage door, design center sales person for residential and new construction. My background is in lighting; furniture and interior design so naturally choosing the best door that complements a home is something I take great pride in. I love the American Dream story behind D & D Garage Doors – “from the barn to garage door empire” as our local newspaper refers to it. What has kept me here so long is that I absolutely love my job, my team here at D & D and I feel extremely valued by my bosses. We are all working together to see how great of an experience we can create for customers and the possibilities of growth for this company are endless. I am a 3rd generation native and have lived in the area all my life, originally in Bradenton but now residing in North Port, FL. 
The most important part of my job is to WOW our customers. We don’t want to be just slightly better than another company. We want them to have one of the best shopping memories of all time and make it fun and stress free all while getting to know them in the process. We are looking for a relationship over time, not just a quick sale for the day. If I had to tell someone one thing about D & D Garage Doors it would be, “
We have an amazing future ahead of us because of doing things right in the past.”

Scheduling Manager

Hi I’m Stacey and I am the Service Scheduler for our Sarasota Design Center. I am happy to be back here with D & D! In 2003, I started here as a receptionist. At that point there were only 6 employees in our little shop across the street. I learned and grew with the company. Before we knew it we were moving into the warehouse where we are now and hiring more and more bright faces to help our team. I worked for D & D many years ago for 6 years. I left to start my own business and was asked to come back after I closed my doors. Knowing what a great company this is I couldn’t say no! In 2014 I came back and have had many seats and worn many hats while working for here. I’ve gone from answering phones to scheduling service to scheduling new construction and on occasion work and train in our Port Charlotte design center. In 2016 I even filled in as manager of the Tampa office. Now I am back in town and scheduling service calls. The most important part of my job is making my service technicians and our customers happy. When things run smoothly on my end it makes everyone else’s job run smoothly as well. D & D Garage Doors is a family oriented business that will do anything for the people who work for them– that makes me proud to work here!

Install Department & Service Scheduler

Hi I’m Jessica! I have worked at D & D Garage Doors in Sarasota since 2013 and I am the service scheduler. Right away, after I started I realized how friendly the people I work with are, real team players, who try to help each other in any way possible. Before moving into the garage door field I was an alarm dispatcher, which was very fast paced. I know the area well having been born and raised in Sarasota. My family consists of very honest people that like to travel & take adventures outside. The most important part of my job is being precise and patient. My job keeps me busy, I travel to many of our “sister” D & D office locations, from Sarasota down to Ft. Myers so I can help train & assist. D & D Garage Doors has been and continues to be a great place to work. We do honest work and everyone is treated equally.

Accounting

Hi I’m Tarree. I have been part of the D & D family since 2007. Before coming to D & D Garage Doors I worked for an excavating/brick paver and landscape supply company here in Sarasota, I did most of the accounting, ordering, helping customers make their selections, sales and job site measuring. I have construction knowledge, at least how the process works but most of my background is in bookkeeping/accounting. I knew Dallas (one of our owners) through softball, our daughters played in the same league here in Sarasota, and from that I just knew this was a place I would like to work at. I am originally from Michigan but I have lived in Sarasota for over 40 years. I have 2 daughters, Michelle and Elizabeth whom I am very proud of. Elizabeth plays softball at Sarasota High School and also for he Quicksilver travel ball team through Miss Sarasota Softball. The most important part of my job is making sure that when the garage door orders cross my desk they are correct and that customer is going to be able to get what they want. If I notice any issues I immediately let our sales person know so it can be corrected before the garage doors are even ordered. I always try to get orders in & delivered as quickly as possible. My job keeps me very busy, and because we are always growing it keeps it very challenging. No two days are the same, nor is it boring and I love what I do. This is a great place to work, we all get along and feels like a family!

Commercial

Hi I’m Kim, and I’m in the Commercial department. I started off at the counter in charge of parts. Next I became a Service Scheduler. Afterwards I worked with the accounting team and installs, so I have experience from several areas of the company. I am from a very large family of 7 kids. I was born and raised in Ohio. But my family had property on the east coast of Florida and I fell in love with the state. I lived on the other coast for about 8 years and then moved to Georgia 10 years, where I started in dispatch with my father’s trucking company, dispatching 50 trucks. I made the move to D & D Garage Doors in 2013, because I was ready to try something different. Now I love working with my co-workers and the customers that I get to assist. I am always making sure the job is done and in a timely manner.

Controller

Scheduler

I may be new to D & D but have been a taxi dispatcher for 3 years, worked at an IT help desk, and been in the army as a paratrooper for 6 years. I have done 2 tours, one in Iraq and the other in Afghanistan. A true native to Florida I was born at Manatee Memorial, so I know the Sarasota/Bradenton area well. I have been married since 2006 and my wife is the one who happened to talk with Justin G, another installer, and that is how I got my start here. My job is very fast paced, which makes the day go by fast. So far they seem like a great company to work for and a nice family atmosphere.

Sales Administrator

Hooah my name is Ciara and I am the Sales Administrator. I pride myself in getting my work done in a timely fashion, which I picked up from my 8 years of service in the US Army. My main responsibility is maintaining good relationships with the local builders. When I started off at D & D Garage Doors in 2013 I was with the install department, and was then promoted to Sales Administrator. Even though I was born in Arizona I consider myself a Floridian, because I was raised in Florida. I came to D & D because it was a good family business, which treats me like royalty. I stayed because of the my new friends / co-workers who have been supportive and love my humor.

Hey I’m Cody, and I am a 5th generation Sarasota native. I haven’t been at D & D Long but I like the people I work with and I take pride in my work. D & D Garage Doors is awesome at getting to the customers fast and taking care of their door problems. I knew Jesse Koch another technician who told me about D & D and ended up training me. I did landscaping before working here, which just like garage doors really makes the exterior of a home look good. Give D & D Garage Doors a call if you want to improve your curb appeal.

Hey my name is Jeff and I have the most door installation experience in Sarasota. I had over 20 years of experience at Omega Garage Doors, which was bought by D & D in Sept 2010. Ever since then I have been working here. Originally from Ohio I enjoy working outside in the heat, which was a nice change. I take pride in my knowledge and hospitality to our customers. The stability of my job and the honesty of this company have made it as easy decision to stay here. If you are having garage door issues put our service experience to good use and give us a call today!
