Garage Door Installation Tips: Why Hire a Professional

A new garage door can transform your home's curb appeal, but only if it's installed properly. Here's why a professional installation is worth it, and what to look for in an installer.

5 Reasons to Hire a Professional Installer

1. You can save money

Trained technicians spot and fix potential problems during installation, before they turn into repairs. A DIY installation that goes wrong can break parts that then have to be replaced.

2. It's safer for your family

A door that's installed wrong is more likely to malfunction, and torsion springs that are wound or anchored incorrectly can cause serious injury. Professionals set everything up correctly the first time.

3. It's covered by a warranty

A professional installation comes with a labour warranty, so problems from the installation are fixed at no cost. Our installations carry a 1-year labour warranty, plus the manufacturer's warranty on the door and opener.

4. Help is available 24 hours a day

Garage door emergencies rarely happen at a good time. A professional company has on-call technicians for nights and weekends. We're based in Surrey and serve all of Greater Vancouver, with 24/7 emergency service.

5. They have the right tools

Installers carry specialized tools, such as winding bars and track alignment tools, and know how to use them safely, so the job is done faster and you get back to your day.

What to Look For in an Installer

• A strong reputation: read recent reviews.
• Years in business: more years usually means more experience.
• Knowledge of local building codes and bylaws.
• Insurance: ask for proof. It protects you and the company if a worker is injured on your property.
