How to Prepare for a Garage Door Installation On the day of your garage door installation, there are things you can do to help our installers complete the job more efficiently. Make sure you move your vehicles out of the garage. Parking on the street temporarily will give us enough room to install your new door safely. Additionally, clear tools, toys, sports equipment, and other personal items away from the area. You shouldn’t have anything stored close to the door. It’s a good practice to keep pets and young children indoors during the installation as well. Fewer distractions will help the installers finish the job sooner. If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask the installation team. We want you to feel confident about using your new garage door.
