This Article will help guide you to make the correct decision when it comes to choosing a reliable garage door repair company.

How Choose The Right Garage Door Company

Look through customer reviews 

Customer reviews don't tell you everything you need to know about a company however,  reviews can be a good indicator on what to expect from a company's service. Use your discernment when reading through reviews to determine their credibility. No human or company is perfect, we make mistakes and we cant please everyone. If you see on bad review amongst a sea of excellent reviews don't be alarmed. Read it carefully and make your own judgment. 

Find A locally based Garage door company ​

Choosing a locally based company ensures you will be taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. Another added benefit of choosing a trusted garage door company in your local market is, they will be familiar with the garage doors in your area. They will most likely have encountered the issue your garage door is having on a daily basis and have the parts you need in stock. 
​

​Check out their certifications

In addition to customer reviews, certifications from other known entities is another great way to assess a company's credibility. For example, looking through their site to see if they are certified by the International Door Association and their local Chamber of Commerce, are great ways to test a company's credentials. ​

Ask if they are company insured ​

Finding out if the company you are looking to hire is insured is another great way to determine a company's credibility. When a garage door company is fully insured any mistakenly caused damage to your home will be covered. If the company you choose to hire is insured you can be at peace knowing any damages done on their part will not cost you anything. ​

Listen to how they communicate with you ​

​Customer service is by far one of the best ways to determine which company to hire. If they seem to care about you and your problem they most likely can be trusted.

Do they offer free Value ​

A knowledgeable garage door service company will oftentimes offer free value in the form of videos, content, pictures that could potentially help you solve your problem or help you identify it. ​

Did they actually show up give you a quote ​

Along with customer service showing up is another great way to test a company's credibility. If they don't even show up to the appointment they set without prior notice they most likely don’t care enough. ​
