Welcome
Lester's Garage Doors was founded in 1969 by Don Lester (now deceased) and is operated by his family, specializing in automatic overhead door and operator systems. We are dedicated to serving Alachua County with the finest products and workmanship available in the garage door industry. Known for "treating people as you would like to be treated," we have maintained our reputation for the best service in town!
Lester's Garage Doors is fully licensed and insured, and remains an industry leader. Ed Hoeft (son-in-law and owner) has a building contractor's license, which is now required in Florida to comply with the new hurricane codes. We have completed certification for renovations on buildings with lead-based paint. We are also PCI-compliant and keep your credit card and identity information secure. All our employees pass thorough background checks and drug tests.
