Eastgate Garage Door's Repairs Co wants Fair Haven homeowners to know exactly what 'licensed & insured' means when hiring garage door repair. We break down the must-checks and show how we meet—and exceed—them.
Step 1: Verify the license is active and local
In Fair Haven, NJ, garage door repair licenses are issued by the state Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. Always ask for the license number and check it against the [New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs database](https://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/Pages/default.aspx). Eastgate’s license is active, and our team can show you proof on-site. We also serve nearby towns like Rumson, Little Silver, and Atlantic Highlands with the same standards. Don’t hire anyone who hesitates to share this info—it’s your first red flag.
Step 2: Confirm insurance covers your Fair Haven home
A ‘licensed & insured’ tag isn’t enough—your garage door repair pro’s insurance must cover property damage and worker injuries. Ask for a copy of their certificate and verify the policy is current. At Eastgate, we carry full liability insurance and workers’ comp, so Fair Haven homeowners can relax. We’ve serviced homes on Fair Haven Road, Ridge Road, and beyond without incident.
