Preparing for a Visit from a Precision Door Technician

If you're expecting us for a tune-up, here are a few ways you can get ready for our visit:

1. Storage: We understand garages can be crowded. They can be used for cars, boxes, toys, appliances. You name it, we've seen it! If you've scheduled a visit with Precision Door, make sure we have easy access to the garage door to ensure a safe and fast fix. 
2. Get Social: Did you know Precision Door is on social media? Check out and like our pages for any specials going on so you can get the best deal out there! (Hint: we’re on Facebook and Twitter!)
3. Don't Try This at Home: The phrase "don't try this at home" is common when talking about home improvement, but we really mean it! If you're dealing with a garage door problem, it's usually best to call us and not try to fix it on your own. It can be dangerous and can cause additional problems.
4. Emergencies: If you wake up one morning and your automatic garage door won't move but you have to leave immediately remember one thing: without the spring working, your garage door will be much heavier than usual. Call us immediately because we offer same day service. Our door is always open for you!
5. Pets: We love to be welcomed by pets here at Precision Doors, but remember: working on the garage door can mean easy access to the outside. After we say hello to your furry companion, make sure he/she does not have access to the garage while we are working.
6. Completion: After we've fixed your garage door, we run through everything with you. So please, feel free to write down any questions or concerns you might have about your garage door and we’d be happy to answer them!

Now that you know how to get ready for us to arrive at your home for garage door service in the Richmond VA area, make sure to make an appointment today!

6 Tips for Getting Ready for Fall

Summer's over, school has been in session for a month and weather temps are dropping. Here at Precision Door Service of Richmond, we have switched to hot coffee instead of iced and have even broken out some warmer clothing! So, how are you getting ready now that Fall is upon us?

Here are a few tips to prepare for fall from our fellow employees here at Precision Door:

1. Goodbye Summer: Summer is full of pool parties, bbqs, and spending as much time outside as possible. With the weather getting cooler and kids back at school, make sure to close your pool appropriately and put any toys or outside furniture away. You don't want the cold weather to ruin anything for next summer!
2. Tune Up: As the weather drops, people tend to use their garages more often. Who wants to park outside and have to walk in the cold weather!? Be sure to call us for a garage door tune up so you don’t run into any problems – we even have a $49.95 tune up special going on right now.
3. Cold Winter: Speaking of cars, make sure your vehicle is all ready for this brutal winter we are supposed to get! Get your car serviced just in case it needs work done. You never know how long a car can take to get fixed.
4. Cover Up: Something as simple as covering your air conditioning unit could save you a lot of money in the long run. Throw a plastic tarp over top so no leaves or bugs can get in and ruin your ac unit while it's not in use.
5. New to the Neighborhood: If you’re new to the Richmond, VA area and are looking for a garage installation, request a free quote on our website. And welcome to the neighborhood!
6. Liftmaster App: Did you know there is an app that allows you to open your garage from your iPhone? Check out the Liftmaster App for an easy way to open your garage door – from any location!
