A great way to save money on a garage door replacement is to check with your local garage door dealer for unwanted doors. You should never have to settle for a used garage door. There are plenty of unwanted new doors looking for a home.
Sometimes these sectional garage doors are former display models from the garage door dealers showroom, they may have been shown at a Home & Garden show and although they had been “installed” previously they cannot really be considered “used”, just previously displayed. Another way to save money is to ask your local garage door dealer if he has any unsold “Special Order” doors, these might have been ordered for a contractor or homeowner who cancelled the order and now they are unclaimed. Most garage door dealers that have been in business a while might have “old stock”; these doors might have been discontinued when a manufacturer changed the style slightly or the dealer changed his source for garage door product. Check www.craigslist.org for garage door dealers in your area like Contra Costa Door in Concord California. Contra Costa Door occasionally lists overstock or unclaimed special order doors.
