Full-time Arizona residents frequent Northern Arizona to "cool off". This week's graph picture was taken in Starlight Pines. Located on the Mogollon Rim near Clint Wells, Starlight Pines is a popular community in which many west valley residents buzz "up north" to get out of the blistering weather. A few days ago two Sun City Grand residents joined me on my day off for the day trip. We ate breakfast in Happy Jack, visited Blue Ridge Reservoir and enjoyed 78 degrees in the pines. After antique shopping in Payson we proceeded home after an exceptional day off.  Sun City Grand Homes

Garage Door Company serving Sun City Grand, Sun City West, Corte Bella & Surprise Arizona

As a Sun City Grand homeowner and Surprise Arizona Realtor®, I am frequently asked questions regarding local service providers.  I recently received an email from a client who purchased a home in Surprise. Warren and Pat are renting their retirement home and received a telephone call from their tenant saying that the garage door was inoperable. Warren sent me an email asking as to which garage door company I would recommend in the area. Unfortunately the home warranty that came with the home does not cover the garage door. Warren was on-line and saw many garage door companies, but was hoping to learn something from a Surprise Realtor who might have had particularly good experience with a certain garage door company.

Garage Door Company serving Sun City Grand, Sun City West, Corte Bella & Surprise AZFortunate for Warren and Pat, I recently had problems with my garage door in Sun City Grand.  It was on the weekend and I called several companies.  My husband was gone and the garage door would not go up or down making me feel insecure in my own home.  

The company that I previously would recommend could not get out to my Sun City Grand home immediately since they do not routinely service the Surprise area. It was a Saturday morning and the company would not be in Surprise until Wednesday.  I certainly was not going to keep my garage unlocked or unsecured for five days. 

I found Sun West Garage Door Company (623-546-8868) in Surprise.  The service technician was out to my Sun City Grand home within 3 hours. The charge, reasonable.  The service technician was extremely knowledgeable.  I would highly recommend Sun West Garage Door due to the promptness, receptiveness, cost and efficiency. 

If you are looking for a garage door company serving Sun City Grand, Sun City West, Corte Bella or Sun City, call Sun West Garage Door.
