If you’re considering the purchase of a new automatic garage door opener please consider the following information before making your purchase.
There are basically two sources for the purchase of your garage door opener, you can contact the Big Box stores such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Sam’s Club, Costco or Sears or your local Professional Garage Door Dealer.
Let’s start with the Big Box stores and the pros and cons of purchasing from them. Generally speaking these stores only offer a limited selection of garage door openers, offer a limited or no selection of parts and sometimes very much needed accessories and if they offer installation it will be performed by a sub-contractor with you the consumer being the “guinea pig”. Since the garage door openers they sell are made to go home inside your car or SUV the units are in multiple knock down pieces which make the units weak.
When you purchase your new garage door opener from a Professional Garage Door Dealer you’ll have access to a more complete selection of brand names and models as well as all the needed accessories. The garage door openers that most Professional Garage Door Installers sell are professional grade units that are 1 piece rail construction and much better built than their retail counterparts. Unlike the Big Box Stores that sell thousands of items Professional Garage Door Installation companies specialize in the installation of automatic garage door openers, garage doors and repairs.
Cost wise the big box stores will usually be a little cheaper but you have to consider the difference in the quality of the garage door opener, whether or not you want to install it yourself or deal with the “subcontractor lottery” and if your garage door needs attention do they have the ability to service and repair it. Your Professional Garage Door Company will generally make sure your garage door is working properly before installing your new garage door opener. We might cost a few bucks more but in the long run will provide a better a better product and a better installation.
One final and perhaps most important benefit of hiring a Professional Garage Door Opener Installation Company is that any Warranty issues are covered with 1 phone call to your installing garage door dealer.
