A+ Garage Door Service & Repair, LLC – For Westchester County Homeowners Who Want Top-Notch Garage Doors

Homeowners in Westchester want headache-free garage doors installed properly that last for years. That is the definition of value.  However, some firms cut comers and use questionable practices to deliver low prices. It is not a deal if you save a few bucks only to have your garage door break again and aggravate you. So how do Westchester residents from Tarrytown to Mamaroneck and Bronxville to Yorktown Heights tell who is right for them? Here are six tips to help determine value:

1.     Start by understanding the scope of a repair. A low price on the phone can often result in corners cut or a bill with substantial overage charges. Mike Boyer of A+ will never give you a low estimate “pulled out of a hat” on the phone to make you say yes.  Instead, he will come out, analyze the issues, discuss his findings with you and suggest the most cost-effective way to repair your garage door system so that it works headache-free and like new. The truth is an estimate on the phone is just a guess – Mike and A+ are “old school,” he refuses to play games and prides himself and the company on delivering quality the first time and every time. The old saying, "Quality is the best value”, is incorporated into every phase of A+’s projects.

2.     As a follow-up – never authorize a repair over the phone and do not authorize one in person until a technician analyzes the problem and clearly explains what is entailed to bring your garage doors back to the manufacturer’s spec and the cost. 

3.     If a company says it has 30 years of experience, ask exactly how many years of experience the technician doing your job has. Mike Boyer is on every job. He is dedicated to his on-going growth and excelling in his trade. He continually reads and educates himself on new technology and systems and constantly takes apart motors and systems to discover the best way to repair them. He knows the industry standards. He does each job with precision and a dedication to quality and safety; after all, his reputation has been built by satisfying one customer at a time.

4.     Check the testimonials and reviews of local homeowners.

5.     If possible, be home when the repair is being done. Some “fly-by-night” have been known to charge for two new springs and pulleys and only replace one… Mike has heard stories of “less reputable" firms breaking parts on purpose and not bringing the system to the manufacturer’s spec. Alternatively, the motor may need repair, and they sell you a new garage door. Mike and A+ will repair a garage door opener motor to the manufacture’s new spec. You can have the old parts and throw them out; your door will be balanced, the pulleys and springs operating like new and every moving part will be cleaned and lubricated. This attention to detail ensures that the repair will last as long as possible. The parts come with warranties ranging from 1- 10 years, and there has a warranty program on the labor of up to 3 years.

6.     Look for a service that will do “Tune-ups.” To keep their customer’s garage door systems humming like new, A+ offers a $49 tune-up that many of their customers take advantage of yearly. Everything is cleaned and adjusted, and if a part is worn, it is replaced. In a word, it is like getting your Porsche tuned up to ensure it purrs. By the way, if repairs or parts are needed, the $49 is credited to the bill.
