About J.A.G. & Sons Overhead Door
Servicing Garage Doors for New Haven County and Beyond, Located in North Haven & West Haven CT
J.A.G. & Sons Overhead Door began when owner, Joe Giaquinto, left his job as a garage door repair technician at a small company to start his career as a firefighter. What started out as Joe lending a helping hand to friends and family with their garage doors on his days off, turned into a full-time business. Because of his quality work and fair prices, he quickly gained a loyal following through word-of-mouth referrals.
Joe’s father was a successful businessman and taught him early in life the importance of standing behind one’s work. Joe trained his own sons, Greg and Matt, with this same work ethic. From their teen years, Greg and Matt helped Joe when he needed extra hands, and now the father and sons run J.A.G. & Sons Overhead Door together.
