5 Things You Should Ask YourGarage Door Contractor

Ask Before You Hire

• The door is the largest moving thing in the house and it runs on a schedule. When was it last balanced and serviced?
• Springs, opener, and track fail differently and cost differently. Which is actually at fault?
• A door out of balance destroys the opener attached to it. Was the balance checked before the opener was blamed?
• Torsion springs store enough energy to kill someone. Who's doing this work, and are they trained on it?
• Door, opener, and installation carry three separate warranties. Which one covers the panel that dents in year two?

Verify yourself: Florida garage door installation falls under a GD specialty registration or a qualifying CBC or CGC. Confirm the license, plus liability insurance and workers' compensation.
