Finding a good local contractor can be more difficult than you realize until you start searching.
You have to somehow weed through all of the people from out-of-town or even out-of-state that claim to "service the area".
Why would you want someone to drive a hundred miles to work on your home and probably charge you for the trip when you could get a local contractor? If the technician is not from your area then it is easy for them to miss things.
For instance, would they know that due to the climate in Atlanta low temperature grease must be used on the garage doors to prevent rust and corrosion? There is another danger of using a garage door repair company that is not local.
It is difficult to find out what kind of reputation that they have if you do not know where they are based out of.
You could get stuck with a technician that is poorly trained or just wants to sell you repairs and products that you do not really need.
When you are dealing with a local company, they have to be accountable to their clients.
They know that if you are unhappy with their work that you can drive down to their offices and complain instead of just giving you a call or sending an email.
To keep a good reputation they have to stand by their work.
