To answer the question: “what makes a professional garage door technician”? We will have to divide our answers into few paragraphs, and in each paragraph we will go over some of the differences. In our article we are going to try and address different reasons that makes a good garage door’s technician/installer, and what are the qualities every garage door technician/installer, who consider himself a pro need to have. The article is written for garage door technicians, but we believe that technicians from other industries may also find the information we present here useful.

Tech’s Skills of Customer Service

Every technician/installer, whether he repair overhead doors, or roll down doors, should never leave a site before he made sure that the door or the gate he just repaired is safe for use, that the garage door is working smoothly, and that the customer is fully satisfied with the service. During more than twenty years of repairing and installing overhead doors in Long Island, we learned that there are many different garages, different garage doors, and different customers. Some of the customers insist to repair the current garage door, no matter what the cost will be, and some will prefer to replace the door if the repair will cost half of the cost of a complete new garage door.
A professional garage door technician/installer should understand that there are different customers with different requirements, and he should be able to provide all of them with the best service. After more than twenty years of servicing garage doors in Long Island, the technicians of Long Island Garage Doors And Gates understand that the customer is always right, and the technician/installer must provide the customer with the best service. But the customer may sometime require something that can’t or shouldn’t be done, like that will not be safe enough, and this is part of the garage door technician/installer task: To explain to the customer what the problem is, how to fix it (In case it is repairable), and to perform the repair only if it will be safe to repair the door. A good technician/installer (As all the techs of Long Island Garage Doors And Gates) must confirm that the customer understood what the technician/installer did, why he decided to do that, and the customer must know exactly what he is paying for. Ask each one of our customers in Long Island, and he will tell you that he know why he paid a certain amount of money, and what he paid for. By doing so, we make sure that no customer will remain with questions in his mind about the repair or the costs.

• Professional Garage Technician

• A good technician/installer should repair the problem, and the cause to the problems. Sometime the cause is simply lack of maintenance, and in that case just a quick explanation to the customer about how important garage door maintenance is, will be enough to prevent the problem from happening again. For example: If the garage opener broke and it is not working anymore since the overhead door itself is not working properly, and the garage door technician/installer just replace the opener but ignored the problem with the door, the new opener will also break soon. As every garage door technician/installer, whether he is garage door technician/installer in Long Island, or garage door technician Queens NYC, what makes the door going up so easily, and what make the garage door stay up and not fall to the ground are the spring system and the doors mechanism. And when there is something wrong with that, it affect the way the opener works.
  We instruct all our garage doors technicians in Long Island to follow a simple rule: If there is something wrong with the door, and the customer choose not to fix that problem, do not complete the service, and leave the location. When a technician/installer from Long Island Garage Doors And Gates leave a job, he must leave behind overhead door that operate perfectly! There is no half repair, or partly repair. We at Long Island Garage Doors And Gates do things the right way, or we choose not to do the job.

• Safety should always come first!!

Before we train our garage door technicians, we tell them one simple thing - but that should never be ignored: No garage door service, whether it is new garage door installation in Long Island, or garage door repair in Long Island County worth a personal injury. Simple as that.
And at the same time, you should never even try and repair garage door if you are not completely sure that when you will complete the repair the door will be 100% safe to operate. We have responsibility, we have warranty, insurance, and we put our name on every overhead door in Long Island that we service. So we will never repair or attempt to repair a busted garage door or roll down door unless we know that when we will complete the repair, the door will work. Our customer’s appreciate that approach, and they show it by reviewing our services, you can check Long Island Garage Doors And Gates reviews, and read what our customers think about our garage door service.

• Commercial overhead doors technician

We train our technicians so they will be able to deal with both residential as well as commercial overhead doors in Long Island. We believe that every professional garage door technician/installer, whether he is a technician/installer in Long Island, or garage door technician in Staten Island should be able to deal with both residential and commercial garage doors if he consider himself a real pro.
The way commercial and residential overhead doors operate is almost the same, just the door and the components, and of course the tools needed to fix the doors or to install them are heavy duty components and power tools. Let’s just take the fact that a technician/installer that want to be able to repair the heavy duty commercial overhead doors, or a commercial rolling gate in Long Island need to have a tall ladder, that will allow the technician/installer to be able to fix the tall commercial overhead door that can be found in Long Island.
The commercial overhead doors are definitely not the place for do-it-yourself. They are extremely dangerous when they break, and if someone who isn’t qualified will try to fix the door, it can end with injuries. Long Island Garage Doors And Gates offer emergency garage door repair Long Island, and we can fix any busted garage door, commercial or not today.

• Garage Door Solutions

Long Island Garage Doors And Gates make sure that our technician/installer will be up to date with the tools, the components and the knowledge. We train them to offer the customers the newest technology on the garage door industry, so the customer will know that he get the newest product, and he can choose what will be the best solution for him.  

• Garage door technician’s Tools

A professional garage door technician/installer must go over the tools and the components he has in the track, and make sure that there is nothing missing. He should have in his track components that will be enough to service the majority of overhead doors in Long Island, and he should be able to service both commercial and residential garage doors.
When it comes to a busted garage door, the time become important. So if the technician/installer could fix the busted garage door on the spot, but did not do it because he was missing a part or a tool, this is unprofessional. We do not mean that garage door tech should carry components for all overhead doors in Long Island, but we do mean that if he doesn’t carry a ladder tall enough, he is not ready to service any type of overhead door in Long Island.

• Availability for emergency calls

If you own a garage door, whether it is a garage door in Huntington NY, or rollup repair in Astoria, you probably know that there isn’t good time for overhead door to get stuck. It can happen early in the morning when you want to get your car out of the garage, or late at night when you are trying to close your store but the roll down door refuse to close the store.
We at Long Island Garage Doors And Gates know that, so we have at least one technician/installer ready for emergency calls. A good technician/installer should be able to offer emergency garage door repairs, and to be able to help people who need the service right now.
You probably know that the weather in Long Island County can get tough at times, and the option of leaving the garage opener the whole night, or to leave your business open until garage door technician/installer will come to fix the gate is impossible. A technician/installer should be available to take emergency service calls, any time, any day, and in any weather.

• Do it yourself vs qualified technician

Shout I hire a qualified technician/installer, or should I repair the door by myself?
