Local context
A typical Gilbert summer peaks at 106°F, and temperatures can reach 115°F or higher between June and September. Monsoon season spans June 15 through September 30, bringing possible haboob dust storms. When comparing doors for wind, request the design pressure (psf) rating printed on the door label instead of an mph number, and check with your local building official about what your permit requires. Arizona calls for an ROC license on jobs worth $1,000 or more, or any job needing a permit, so look up the contractor's license number through the ROC Contractor Search.
Homeowner tips
Of Gilbert's 16 businesses, four list commercial work and 10 advertise emergency service. When you call, confirm that they take on home garages and find out how soon someone can arrive.
Warranty claims come from six businesses, so get the terms written down. Written contracts above $1,000 in Arizona must include the license number, a description of the work, total price, deposit, payment schedule and the ROC complaint notice.
BBB accreditation, which three listed businesses claim, does not replace a license. Look the contractor up by name in the ROC Contractor Search, make sure the license is current and fits the job, and request proof of general liability insurance, something the ROC does not require.
