How did you get started in this business?
John was sorta born into it. His much older brother started his own door company in late 70's so even before John graduated high school he had worked on garage doors. He loves working on doors and that has been his only occupation since high school.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds, we don't discriminate.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
John says he has so much fun with 90 % of his customers it would be hard to name just one event but he resides he loved working for this WW2 veteran. He came back to the office so happy and telling us about all he'd learned. In the garage door business if you do your job right you shouldn't see a customer at the most once a year and I promise you this guys breaks all the time. Pretty sure they just like hanging out.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Number 1 Advise is to check them out thorough. Read reviews from 3rd ask friends if they have heard of this companyThis is most likely the heaviest appliance in your home and it moves, in some homes it's up and down several times a day so you have to be careful to get someone you can trust.
