Clean the Area Around Your Garage Door
Before garage door installation, make sure the area around your garage door is clear, both inside and out. Keeping these spaces clear will make installation faster and easier. All you have to do is move items to another spot in your garage.
Move items to another spot in your garage and sweep up any debris left behind. It can be helpful to use your broom to brush down cobwebs or spiderwebs around the existing door tracks.
Secure Your Pets Before Garage Door Installation
Door installation does not require access to the main living space of your home, but you should plan to keep your pets away from the garage while our installers are working.
If your back door is located inside your garage, as is the case in certain types of ranch homes in Overland Park, plan to take your pets through the garage on leashes or keep them inside altogether.
Meet the Garage Door Installers
When the Tracker Door Systems team arrives, plan to meet us at your existing garage door. We’ll confirm the work we’re doing, access your garage, and set up our tools. At this time, our installers will give you an estimate of how long your project should take.
We may need to ask questions or show you an installation solution, so be sure to be home for the duration of our work.
Discuss Where Your Garage Door Opener Will Be Installed
If part of your project includes garage door opener installation, talk to your installers about where this opener will be placed.
Most openers are mounted to the ceiling rafters in your garage, but other types are mounted on the wall adjacent to your new garage door. Make sure you understand where yours will be located.
Test Your Garage Door Replacement Before the Technician Leaves
