How To Get The Best Door For Your Dollar
LL Garage Doors has been in the business for 60-odd years and we owe it in part to our great and honest service when it comes to making sure we help people find the right door at the right price. This includes helping people make smart choices with their money when it comes to expanding the life of their garage doors. In some of our previous blogs we discussed how to choose the right door for your home or business’s needs, and this time we’re going to discuss how to make your dollar go as far as it can.
The easiest thing you can do to extend your dollar is to get preventative maintenance done annually on your current garage door. Why wait until it’s breaking down to give it a little love? Extending the life of your current garage door with our preventative maintenance care means you’re only paying for small parts here or there and saving yourself from the hassle of buying a whole new door to begin with!
Another thing you can do is go ahead and opt for the stronger springs when getting your garage door installed or maintained. This is particularly useful if you know the door is going to be doing a lot of movement day to day. Stronger springs cost a bit more, but will ensure the door is able to perform better for longer, saving you money on springs and repairs.
Lastly, if you’re getting a new garage door installed, you should consider changing out your opener at the same time, even if it’s still working ok. These things give out too, and you’ll save money on labor and another service call to get it replaced eventually by just having it done while the technician is already there.
In summary, it’s better to pay up a little bit more on quality parts - particularly the heavy use springs and opener - and to get signed up for an annual maintenance plan. Small investments like these keeps your garage door performing better and for longer, which will save you money in the long run.
