Quick answer
Watch for very low phone prices that balloon on site, pressure to replace a whole door for a spring fault, unbranded vans, no written estimate and companies that will not give a licence number. Ask for both repair and replacement prices — garage door repair.
Most garage door companies are honest. These are the patterns to avoid.
The red flags
- "$29 service call" bait
- No written estimate
- Pressure to decide on the spot
- Replacing a door for a spring
- Single spring replacements
- No licence or insurance proof
- Generic listings with no local address
