Warning signs, from the Better Business Bureau
The BBB warns about garage door companies that (BBB warning, reported by WBAY, Mar 3, 2026):
- advertise "emergency" service at the top of search results under generic names, with only a phone number
- quote a low service-call fee, then add more work once they're in your garage
- say the repair is urgent and want payment up front
- overstate the parts or work needed
- can't show proof of insurance or a written estimate
How we handle each one: the company is named before it comes out, the price is in writing before work starts, nothing is added without your written OK, and you never pay up front for a repair.
