If you’re looking at garage door installation or garage door replacement, you’ve probably already found that you have quite a few options when it comes to hiring.
The garage door installation industry in the U.S. employs about 64,789 people, but not all those people are equally qualified or will give you a comparable experience.
So, how can you find the right company to hire? Here are five questions to ask before you make any decisions:
1. Do You Offer Service Plans or Warranties?
Many homeowners see the word “warranty” and immediately think that they’re protected. But some businesses use service plans, warranties, and guarantees to give customers a false sense of security. Actually dig into the warranty that’s being offered and ensure it’s providing you with the coverage you want and isn’t distracting you from bad service upfront.
2. How Long Have You Been in Business?
There’s a relatively high turnover rate for all businesses in the home construction and repair industry, which means that working with a newbie company is a risk. If something goes wrong, just a few months down the road, the company could be gone—leaving you with no recourse.
If you can work with a garage door repair and installation company that has years of experience and a good reputation in your area, that’s absolutely the best way to go, even if it costs slightly more.
