0:19

Checker Pro radio we get questions all

0:22

the time from listeners and this one

0:23

keeps coming in over and over again

0:26

and it's about garage doors I've asked a

0:29

garage door expert Adam Greer from Easy

0:31

Lift garage doors to join me in helping

0:34

answer this question hi Adam how are you

0:36

I'm doing great Joe thanks for having me

0:38

on once again it's always a pleasure

0:39

yeah and thank you the question is can I

0:41

go to the big box stores and buy my own

0:45

garage door instead of hiring a company

0:47

like yours

0:48

uh you know it's a it's a touchy

0:50

question certainly can they all sell

0:52

them is it worth it is the bigger

0:54

question you know because you're going

0:55

to pay more than you would actually pay

0:56

buying from a professional and here's

0:58

the situation if you go buy a Weber

0:59

grill from Home Depot it's not the same

1:01

as buying a Weber grill from Weber

1:03

everybody makes a box store version of

1:05

their product and it sells it still a

1:07

top dollar so yes

1:10

that's the big question and the answer

1:12

from a professional would be no I it's

1:14

it's not worth your money and by the

1:16

time you add labor and everything you

1:17

spent more than you would spend

1:18

typically by hiring just a professional

1:20

home start so the quality of the door

1:22

isn't better and the price is not better

1:24

plus the homeowner would have to put the

1:27

door in themselves or hire someone to do

1:29

it correct and truthfully the quality

1:32

typically is is less you know it's the I

1:34

don't want to use brand names but they

1:35

all sell the brand name but even if you

1:38

went to that manufacturer in Houston

1:40

you'll get that brand name but a better

1:43

version of the brand than what they're

1:45

giving to the box stores and something

1:47

as a professional home service provider

1:50

you don't want to hear from the

1:51

homeowner I've bought this door at The

1:53

Big Box store but I want you the home

1:56

service provider to install it you can't

1:58

back that door up can you correct in

2:01

fact we get those calls all at the work

2:03

all we're going to stand behind is our

2:04

labor whatever that package has or

2:06

missing or whatever damage it's on you

2:08

and it they're never right there half

2:11

time they're missing parts it's it's

2:13

ridiculous and then you would have to

2:15

use parts from your truck and that's not

2:16

the full package and it's going to cost

2:18

a homeowner more and in the end when

2:20

that door fails and they call you you're

2:23

gonna shrug your shoulders and say ain't

2:24

our door exactly and we stress that with

2:27

them uh we will not take responsibility

2:29

I've had doors get dropped off by The

2:32

Big Box store that are literally they

2:34

must have drove a forklift work through

2:35

it and dropped it off at their porch and

2:37

you open up and go look here you go

2:39

there's what you gotta go fight them and

2:41

it's not easy at that point as I say

2:43

hire a professional have them bring the

2:46

product to the home and that Home

2:48

Service professional is of course

2:50

responsible for it and they will back it
