Decide Which Garage Door Company to Buy From?
Unfortunately in Jacksonville the garage door industry is not strictly monitored. There are many fly-by-night companies that are not adequately insured and do not need to stand by their work because they won't exist in 6 months. When you buy a new door look for a company that:
- Carries the necessary insurance
- Provides warranties on the parts and labor of your new garage door
- has Technicians that are well trained and uniformed
- has Trucks that are clean and clearly indicate the name of the company (Fly-by-night companies that change their name every 6 mos., will not typically invest in uniforms or paint the company's logo on the truck.)
- You should expect professionalism and courtesy at all times
- Supplies references from previous customers upon request.

Florida law requires all garage doors installed to meet or exceed county wind codes and impact requirements. To enforce this policy, it is required to get a permit from the local county building department. This is for the consumer's protection and ensures the correct windcode is used and that the door is installed by a certified installer. Fines are stiff for nonconformity.
All garage doors we sell & install meet or exceed Florida required codes for wind load resistance.Bonus: 7 Trends In Garage Doors
