Common Questions for Your Garage Door Professional
Whether you need repairs, a check-up, or you need new garage doors, a professional is the best person to call. Experience helps ensure that you will have quality, lasting results. Of course, if you don’t yet have someone to perform this work, you have the task of finding the right people for the job. Here are some questions you may want to consider asking a potential garage door professional.
How long have you been in business?
While every business takes time to build a reputation in the beginning, it’s understandable that you want someone with years of successful experience. If you know that business has been operating for a long time, that suggests they have maintained a number of clients. It is easier to find out more about them, in that case. When you ask about their time as a business, find out if they have reviews, or referrals. The internet makes that much easier these days; unless they are a “mom-and-pop” organization without a large enough budget to maintain a website, you should be able to find more information and reviews online.
What services do you offer?
Asking this question helps you ascertain whether they specialize in what you need. A garage door professional will likely offer a list of services, but no one business can offer absolutely everything. Are they focused on repair, or new installations, or both? Do they offer standard and emergency repair services? Do they offer certain types of doors? Make sure their specialties are what you need.
What are your common costs?
Costs will vary, depending upon the service. In many cases, a professional will have to assess the doors and circumstances prior to giving an estimate. In this case, it helps to know three things:
- What are the general rates and how are they applied?
- Are there available payment plans for more expensive jobs?
- What the cost range should be, based upon your research as a customer.
So, ask about costs; it’s important to you as a consumer. While you will need to be somewhat flexible because each circumstance is different, you can avoid being overcharged by asking these questions, and having an idea of what something might cost beforehand.
