Being in business since the 1970's, we understand that the process of buying a garage door
can be a daunting task. Now more than ever, you are faced with numerous choices,
selections and options, as well as the job of figuring it out on your own.
To assist you in the buying process, we have provided information and direction on those
considerations and information that are important in making your decision. Whether you're
a new homeowner, are updating your existing home, or getting ready to sell your house, installing a new garage door is an
exciting opportunity for you to breathe new life into your home's exterior.
What follows is a collection of garage door buying information below, separated into logical
headings to help you think your way through the process. When buying your next garage
door, do this homework and review all the aspects essential to your purchase decision.
"Cheap sells, but it usually doesn’t last."
Price is an important consideration in the purchase of a big ticket item like a garage
door. Most people set a budget figure and look to get the best value for the money they
spend.
Low price is often a motivator to buy, but remember "you get what you pay for".
We often hear from homeowners who regret having saved a few dollars buying an
inexpensive (cheap) door, only to incur further cost and headaches soon after the
installation.
As well, it is a common practice of some door companies to oversell inferior door
models, portraying their attributes to be better than what they deliver.
Unfortunately these practices make it hard for the consumer to determine its "real
value" or compare "apples to apples".
The more knowledgeable you become, the better you can decipher the differences.
Also during price comparison, the quality of installation is often overlooked.
The difference between companies can have a major impact on the operation of your
door system. A substandard installation can make a quality door both look and function poorly.

Higher end door products give long lasting durable appearance and are generally
available in a wider variety of styles, colours and finishes for those consumers willing
to spend a little more.
Your best door choice probably won't be the lowest price but it will represent the
best value for your dollar.
