3 Warning Signs That You Hired The Wrong Garage Door Resizing Company

When you first met with the Garage Door Company, they were friendly, polite, and professional. They anticipated most of your questions and you were comfortable. Now, after you’ve hired them and started to see some warning signs, you’re having a bad case of buyer’s remorse.

Here is a list of signs indicating you hired the wrong garage door resizing company:

#1 They do not have pictures of previous work

If you've done the job before, they should have pictures. Make sure you ask for pictures of jobs similar to yours that they have already completed. You should ask questions, maybe even an address to go see the work in person if possible. This is a great way to see the quality of work you will be getting. GarageEntry shares 100's of photos of jobs, before & after.

#2 They do not have a license or insurance

You absolutely need to deal with a licensed and insured contractor. In many cases, a contractor doesn't have a license for a reason, either it was revoked or they are doing something wrong and want to stay under the radar. As far as insurance goes, if something happens at your home, without it you'll be the one on the hook! A contractor should have insurance that can cover extensive damage to your home, as well as any medical emergencies with their employees. GarageEntry is licensed and insured. 

#3 - "We Don't Need Permits"

If a contractor tells you not to worry about needing permits, this is a huge red flag. You, as the homeowner or business owner, will be 100% liable for not following the law. While they aren't always needed, just confirm with your township before taking on this risk. GarageEntry checks with all local municipalities prior to providing estimates for work.

Does it seem like you're stuck in a situation that you aren't comfortable with? Are you noticing any of these signs? Hopefully it's not too late to get out of an agreement with your garage door resizing contractor unless they have already started the work. Think twice beforehand, ask questions, and make sure you're getting the job done right!
