So you’ve finally decided to work with Franklin Door & Dock and have a new garage door installed – congratulations! It’s going to be one of the best home improvement decisions you’ll ever make. A garage door will help protect your home as well as enhance its curb appeal. The garage door installation experts at Franklin Door & Dock share tips on how you can ensure a smooth installation experience.
- Move your vehicles
Move your cars to the street or your driveway to give your garage door installation team enough space so they can easily access the garage door opening and the surrounding area without risking any damage to your vehicles.
- Clear out your garage
Empty your garage of any tools, trash bins, sports equipment, unused furniture, and other belongings. Make sure to free up the front half of your garage at the very least. Not only does this give garage door installers enough space to work in – this also keeps your things safe from being accidentally damaged during the garage door installation process.
- Keep family members away from the work area, especially children and pets.
Removing an old garage door and installing a new one will require the use of dangerous power tools. For your family’s safety, only the garage door installation team should be in the area during this time.
- Know your garage door installation team’s safety protocols due to COVID-19
Many garage door installation companies have implemented no-contact installation procedures and have required their technicians to wear masks on site. Communicate any specific health concerns or restrictions you might have with your garage door installer before commencing any installation work.
- Prepare your garage door installation-related questions beforehand.
Make a list of any questions you may have regarding garage door maintenance, safety inspections, troubleshooting, and warranties, among others. Make sure these questions have been answered before the team leaves.
