Lester's Garage Doors was the first full-time specialty garage door company in Gainesville. We were founded in 1969 by Don Lester (deceased), at the request of the Gainesville builders, with the help of God and some dear friends. In the early days, Don and two of his growing sons, Steve and Richard Lester installed the garage doors after school and on weekends. In 1981 Ed Hoeft began work for Lester's Garage Doors as an installer. Ed became known for his dependability, high skill level and strong ethics. When Don Lester retired in 1995, he left the company in the hands of the next generation of Lesters, Ed Hoeft, Janet Lester Hoeft and Richard Lester. As the local leader in the industry, Ed earned a Building Contractor's License. All our garage doors and installations exceed or meet the current hurricane codes for the area. Still known for "treating people as you would like to be treated," we have maintained our reputation for the best service in town!
We started this handyman business during the Covid-19 Pandemic, things were slow at the time so we decided to advertise on an app for handyman services and haven’t been slow ever since, so then we decided to create an LLC, we are determined to become Gainesville’s #1 most affordable Handyman that can handle any and all Jobs so you don’t have to hire multiple companies to complete your projects!
