Find the right supplier for you
Sep 16, 2024
As with all trades there are many garage door companies out there so where do you start?
We pride ourselves on being completely honest with each and every customer. For example, you might think your garage door is broken and therefore you need a new one, but that often isn't the case and we'll tell you so, saving you £s where we can.
Here are our top tips for finding a reputable supplier:
1. Read reviews about previous work - there should be lots of happy customers singing their praises. If there are no reviews, alarm bells should be ringing. We love to hear from our customers after each and every job and our Google reviews appear right here on our website, directly from Google, so they truly are authentic.
2. Do your research - check out the company's website and social media pages to see previous work for yourself.
3. Meet your garage door supplier in person - first impressions go a long way - from the professional-looking set-up through to the manner of the installer.
4. Do they ask for money upfront? Be weary! You shouldn't pay for any job until it's complete and you're 100% happy with the workmanship and quality finish.
5. Installer's knowledge - dare we say it... the customer isn't always right! You might have in mind what you want but it might not be the most cost effective or suitable for your garage space. Some companies may just go with it but you should feel reassured if an installer doesn't, and instead, explains other options with reasons why.
6. Call out fee - there's no right or wrong here, many companies charge and some don't. We don't! We'll come out to you free of charge, and will cost the job accordingly once we're onsite.
7. Quotes - we always recommend that you get at least three quotes when looking for a new garage door. This gives you reassurance that you're not being over-charged or paying too little and not getting the quality finish. A good reputable company would welcome this.
8. Ask questions - no question is a silly one!
