How Do I Prepare My Garage Door For Installation?
When it's time to replace your garage door, you want the process to run smoothly. On installation day, you don't want to feel chaotic or forced to make decisions that you hadn't thought of before the technician arrived. At Balanced Garage Doors, we're also invested in a smooth installation process, and we can provide you with information about all the prep you need to do before we arrive.
Steps to Prepare For Garage Door Installation
You don't need to stress about getting ready for a garage door installation. There are a few easy steps to consider, such as:
1. Choose Your Door Type and Style
You want your technician to arrive with everything they need to remove your old garage door and install the new one. You need to choose your new garage door type and style a few days to a week before the installation date. This provides time to get the garage door into stock for reliable installation.
2. Remove Your Vehicles From Your Garage
If you place your garage door on the floor, it takes up almost every available inch of space. Your technician needs plenty of room when installing your new garage door. You might want to park your car in the driveway or at the front of the house, offering extensive work space for the installer.
3. Clean Out Your Garage
A new garage door and a clean garage? It sounds like a win to us. Your technician needs a lot of space to prep the door and navigate reinstalling the door. Take this as an ideal time to clean out all the clutter from your garage. You can donate items to a local shelter organization.
4. Schedule a Day off on Your Installation Date
We strive to arrive on time for every installation and ensure the job is completed in the range we quoted, but sometimes, things don't work out that way. If you take the day off from work for your installation, you feel less stressed and ready to make any last-minute decisions.
5. Plan a Way to Keep Kids and Pets Occupied
At Balanced Garage Doors, we love kids and animals. It's our goal to keep them safe throughout the installation, and we need your help. You might arrange a play date for small children and drop the dogs off at a kennel for the day.
6. Decide on Your Accessory Installation Preferences
Do you want a smart motor? Do you want scone lighting and other accessories on your doors? These decisions are part of the prep work for your garage door installation. With the decisions made in advance, the technician arrives with everything they need, and you won't have to wait for parts.
7. Think of Any Questions You Want to Ask Your Installer
In the days leading up to your installation, there are some questions that might pop into your mind. Grab a pad of paper and start writing them down. Our technician is happy to answer all your questions before we get started on the installation.
