What to prepare before requesting garage door service
You do not need to know which part has failed before you contact us. A clear description of what you are seeing is enough. These details help us understand the problem, confirm that we cover your area and plan the next step.
The essentials.
- Your name and the best phone number to reach you.
- Your ZIP code, so we can confirm coverage for your address.
- What the door is doing, and when the problem started.
Details that help us prepare.
- Whether the door is stuck open or closed, and whether a vehicle is trapped inside.
- Anything you heard or saw, such as a loud bang, a gap in a spring or a loose cable.
- The opener manufacturer and model, if you can see them on the motor unit.
- Roughly how old the door and opener are, if you know.
- Whether the door is a single or double width door.
If you are planning a new door.
- The approximate size of the opening, if you know it.
- The style, color or features you have in mind, such as windows or insulation.
