Let's get into the key things to look out for when choosing a local garage conversion company in the Forest Of Dean or surrounding areas...


Check Online Reviews

Online reviews are crucial for any business so be sure to check them out before choosing a company to do your garage conversion in the Forest of Dean or the surrounding areas. They offer insights into the experiences of past clients, highlighting both strengths and potential issues. 


Start by exploring Google Business Profile and other platforms. There will be an overall rating but also look at the individual statements made by past clients which will give you the reassurance you need. For example, Severn Garage Door Services have over twenty five-star reviews on our profile!


Ask Key Questions

In our opinion, the more questions you ask, the better idea you have about the company you’re potentially looking to use. Asking about experience, specialist services, number of clients in your area, qualifications and accreditations, and size of the team is a great place to start.

Discuss timelines to get a realistic estimate of how long the project will take and understand their process for handling any unforeseen delays. Understanding how they handle communication and updates throughout the project is also important, as it will affect your overall experience. 

By posing these questions, you can better gauge each company's reliability and choose the one that best fits your needs and requirements.


Request Case Studies

A reputable and local garage door conversion company will be proud to showcase case studies and portfolio of work Severn Garage Doors certainly are! Requesting case studies will show tangible evidence that they can do what they say they can. You may physically see something that you’d like to replicate too. Case studies often include detailed accounts of the scope of work, challenges faced, and solutions implemented, which can highlight a company's problem-solving abilities and adaptability. 

Reviewing case studies allows you to assess whether the company's style and approach align with your vision for your garage door conversion.



Explore Their Website

A company's website is a valuable tool for assessing its credentials and professionalism. Start by examining the overall design and functionality to gauge their attention to detail and commitment to quality.


A well-maintained website often reflects a company's dedication to its business. Look for services provided, key bits of information, case studies, testimonials and blogs to demonstrate competency.


Verify Accreditations & Experience

Verifying accreditations and experience is a critical step in assessing a garage conversion company's credentials. Proper licensing ensures that the company complies with local regulations and industry standards, a vital aspect for the legal and safety aspects of your project. 


Ask the company to provide proof of latest accreditations. Insurance is equally important, as it protects you from liability in case of accidents or damage during the project. This may seem a bit over the top to check but it could save you a lot of hassle in the long run. A reputable company will have no issue in providing this.


Analyse Previous Work Quality

Analysing a company's previous work quality is essential to ensure they can meet your expectations for a garage conversion. Start by reviewing their project portfolio or gallery, often available on their website and on social media channels, which showcases completed projects.

Look for diversity in style and complexity to assess their versatility and expertise. Pay attention to the details, such as finishes and craftsmanship, which indicate their commitment to quality.
