What to look for:
- Verified credentials: licensed/insured, local references, manufacturer training.
- Transparent pricing: itemized quotes (parts, labor, haul-away, warranty).
- Safety first: spring/cable work by certified techs; clear warranty terms.
- Responsiveness: realistic ETAs, stocked vans, emergency options.
- Reputation: recent reviews, before/after photos, standing with suppliers.
Quick checklist:
- Describe the issue (noise, imbalance, opener error, broken spring) and door type/size.
- Request 2–3 itemized quotes with model numbers and warranty details.
- Ask for proof of insurance and training (e.g., torsion systems, photo-eye calibration).
- Confirm lead time, parts availability, and cleanup/haul-away.
- Choose the vendor with the best balance of safety, clarity, and turnaround—not just the lowest price.
