When customers come to us for a garage door, they pay close attention to the design, quality and the price of a door itself. It’s also important to keep in mind the value of a warranty when making this investment. In this article, GDO will guide you with some warranty periods from some of our most popular manufactures.
The good news is our website makes doing research about a garage door brand and it’s length of warranty straight forward. But when comparing one garage door over another, what should you be looking for? Most manufactures tend to advertise their commitment to quality, but we also recommend paying attention to the warranty terms, to back up their claims. This not only guarantees that a product will work properly for an agreed amount of time, but the warranty also measures a manufacture’s confidence in the quality and integrity of their products.
Increased Lifespan
The length of the warranty is one of the keys factors to take into account. Standard quality roller and sectional garage doors usually have a minimum of a 5-year warranty. A warranty could help to increase the lifespan of a garage door by covering any potential problems that may arise.
If you buy a door with a long warranty, you can be sure that the manufacturers stand behind their products and build them to last! A manufacturer offering a longer guarantee is likely to have worked hard to create and manufacture a higher- quality product, it will also reassure you about the quality of the door you are buying.
