🚨 Beware of Residential Garage Door Scammers 🚨
If your garage door suddenly stops working, don't let urgency lead to a costly mistake.
Scammers often use tactics like:
🔹 Advertising unrealistically low service fees, then adding hidden charges.
🔹 Claiming your entire garage door system needs replacement when only a minor repair is required.
🔹 Pressuring you to approve repairs on the spot.
🔹 Arriving in unmarked vehicles with no company identification.
🔹 Demanding cash-only payments or refusing to provide written estimates.
Protect yourself by:
✅ Checking online reviews and verifying the company's reputation.
✅ Asking for a written estimate before any work begins.
✅ Confirming the technician is licensed and insured (where required).
✅ Getting a second opinion if you're told you need an expensive replacement.
✅ Never feeling pressured into making an immediate decision.
A trustworthy garage door company will explain the problem, provide transparent pricing, and give you time to make an informed choice.
