Helpful Garage Door Shopping Tips:
1) You Get What You Pay For
When shopping for a garage door / garage door opener company, there will always be someone out there willing to do the job for less. But consider that if you are paying less for a garage door or garage door opener, you are most certainly getting less - Less experience, less customer service, and less quality.
Lower-cost garage doors from other garage door companies often have a shorter life span and may require a service call sooner rather than later. It also might be very difficult to get the low-bidder to return for adjustments once your check is cashed.
2) Know the Company You're Doing Business With
We have seen many "garage door companies" come and go over the years. Fagan Door is here today, here tomorrow.
Ask to see references from existing customers or credentials demonstrating recognition by the garage door industry. Make sure that the garage door company that you contract with has current and valid workman's compensation and liability insurance and is licensed by the state. Fagan Door holds registration #110 with the Rhode Island Contractor's Registration Board, registration #117158 with the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor Program, and registration #610277 with the State of Connecticut.
3) Know the Level of Service You'll Get
Many "garage door companies" are simply individuals who work from home. They're often unable to provide good service or technical support because they lack the necessary training. It may also be difficult to get the installer to return for an adjustment after your check is cashed. In contrast, Fagan Door has a team of professional office staff and garage door technicians that have made a career of installing and maintaining garage door products.
