A new door and opener for a garage installation in Las Vegas takes a few hours to perform. In order to allow the installers to do the installation as efficiently as possible, you can do a few things to prepare. Taking the time to perform these tasks can help to ensure the safety of the installers and speed up the project.
Keep Kids and Pets Away
If you have children or pets, keep them away from the work area. The installers will be using ladders and power equipment in order to do the garage door installation. The garage will be open during most of the work, and unsupervised pets or kids could get out and run into the street. Keep pets secured on a leash or in a crate. Children should be kept away from the work area until the cleanup is completed.
Remove Clutter
Many people use the garage as a storage area for things that do not fit inside of the house, such as seasonal decorations, sports equipment, bicycles and tools. The installers will need a large, clear area in which to do their work. You will need to remove any boxes, equipment and other items out of the way before the work can begin.
Parking Your Car
You will have to park your car and other vehicles elsewhere while your garage door is being installed. This is because the installers need full access to the area in the center of your garage’s ceiling where the opener and its tracks will be installed. They will also be testing the door several times to make sure that it works. The cords of their equipment will also be on the floor of the area. For the safety of the workers and to protect your car, you will need to park on the street until the work is done.
