Questions people ask
Straight answers.
Why don’t the guides give prices?
Because a real number needs a real look at your door. What we can promise is that the number is written down, that you approve it before anything starts, and that it is the number on the invoice.
Do you charge to come out?
No. We look at the door with you and give you a written estimate. You approve it before any work starts, and there is no charge if you decline.
How fast can someone come?
A person answers 24/7. Emergencies are handled overnight. Same-day service on most repairs, and dispatch gives you the timing on the call, once they know where you are and what the door is doing. We do not quote a window before that, because it would be a guess.
What does the warranty cover?
Five years on parts and labor, every repair and every install. The scope is on the estimate you approve and on the invoice.
If this did not answer you, call. A person picks up. (469) 281-7750
