A: 1.) The best place to start looking for a garage door contractor is with friends or family.
2.) You can also contact the Integrity Garage Door Repair for information on local service companies.
3.) Search online to find reliable contractors in your area.
4.) Check state licensing requirements. The more reputable garage door repair companies are often licensed and insured for your protection. Keep in mind that these requirements vary from state to state.
5.) Check out the contractor’s website for more information, including customer reviews and feedback.
6.) Request references from your potential garage door contractor before hiring them for the job.
7.) Request a written estimate before hiring them for the job.
8.) Make sure the garage door repair contractor is willing to come out and provide you with an onsite, free estimate. If not, look elsewhere!
9.) Be wary of garage door companies quoting extremely low prices as they may be sub-par.
10.) For residential jobs, in most cases, you should only work with a company that is insured and bonded in case of accident or property damage.
11.) Make sure the garage door repair people are familiar with your particular garage door and its components.
12.) Don’t trust companies that do not ask for references from past customers.
13.) Never go with a garage door repair company that cautions you not to tell anyone about their services or prices; this is an indicator of an illegal business.
14.) Before hiring any service provider, make sure the person comes to your home in person and takes a look at your garage door and opener system. If they won’t give you a quote without a visit, take this as a red flag and move on.
15.) Never blindly accept the lowest bid for garage door work. There is usually a reason why one company prices its services lower than everyone else!
