Connecticut Garage Door Repair is an independent referral service and name-only directory for garage door repair in Connecticut. It is not a garage door company.

## What it does

- Publishes sourced information about garage door springs, openers, repair costs, safety, and Connecticut's home improvement contractor rules.
- Keeps a name-only directory of garage door businesses with an active Connecticut home improvement contractor (HIC) registration, from the state's public credential records as of October 11, 2026. It shows business name, registered town, HIC number, and expiration date only.
- Provides a phone number ((860) 791-1424). Calls are routed to a participating independent garage door company serving the caller's area, if one is available.

## Directory rules

- Listed companies are not participants in the referral line, are not affiliated with the site, and do not pay to be listed.
- A listing is not a recommendation. Connecticut HIC registration requires liability insurance and a fee, not a trade exam.
- Confirm any registration on eLicense: https://www.elicense.ct.gov/

## What it doesn't do

- Repair or install garage doors, employ technicians, own service vans, or keep a shop in any city.
- Hold a Connecticut HIC registration. It is not a government agency, licensing board, or trade association.
- Diagnose garage door problems or quote prices.
- Guarantee availability in every location, at every hour, or for every job type, or promise response times or 24/7 service.
- Verify, certify, insure, or supervise participating companies, or claim any of them is registered or insured.

## Before hiring a garage door company in Connecticut

- Residential garage door work over $200 requires a home improvement contractor registered with the Department of Consumer Protection.
- Contracts must be written, signed, and dated, show the HIC number, and include a three-business-day right to cancel (Saturday counts).
- Ask for proof of general liability insurance of at least $20,000, and keep deposits to about one-third of the job (DCP guidance).
