Another thought: Buy Local. We see Home Depot and the big boys are getting into the garage door business. I go to Home Depot and Lowe's regularly and check out the prices of their garage door items. In almost every case, we cost less, we can install it faster and we sell a higher quality product with a better warranty. Our garage doors are thicker, our hinges are larger, our rollers are better and we don't even think about selling extension spring doors. Even our cheapest garage door includes steel ball bearing rollers with commercial hinges and torsion springs.
Finally, we paid more than $200,000 in sales tax last year to local tax entities. Add Property and School Taxes and it becomes clear that we are part of the community. And since we live here all of our money stays here. That's money that pays for our roads, schools and our city and state government. Also, as the owner, I can assure you that my Wife and family make sure that any profit we make is quickly dispersed throughout the community at local restaurants, clothing stores and car dealerships.
Advertising Information. We compete with many other door companies in town. Some are door companies and some are not really true door companies, i.e. they ‘dabble’ in it. Our advertising states that we will beat any valid competitor's price. We want you to know the guidelines we apply to this statement:
The price comparison must be from a real garage door company to include companies listed in the phone book as a garage door company or other company that is listed in county records with DBAs and a valid TAX ID. The valid companies can also include retail establishments, such as Home Depot and Lowes or similar stores. As an example, we will not compete with a quote from a painting company for a garage door install, or a handyman or a “brother-in-law.”
The price quote must be written or printed on a company estimate and a copy must be presented. The quote must also include a visual inspection of the site to ensure accuracy of the job. We will quote exact prices based on the estimate. We will match or beat prices on the items that we have in stock for that particular item. We may or may not compete on labor charges based on the site inspection. We will compete on used or non-standard items at our discretion. Hope this sounds fair.
Thanks for your support and please give us a chance to earn your business.
