Common questions

Do you cover all of Sanford and Lake Mary?

Yes, including ZIPs 32771, 32773, 32746.

How soon can someone come out?

It depends on the day and the job. If the car is stuck inside or a storm is coming, say so in the request and the company will tell you the earliest time they have.

Will I know the price before work starts?

Ask for it, and don't agree to work until you have it. If you only want a price for now, pick that option in the form.

Do I need a permit for a new garage door in Sanford and Lake Mary?

A full door replacement usually needs a building permit in Central Florida so the new door can be checked against the wind-load code. The installing company normally pulls it. Repairs usually don't need one.
