When there is a problem with one of your doors or windows, whom do you call? Can you get someone to come out and repair it quickly and efficiently and at reasonable prices? Traditional service providers such as carpenters and joiners generally do not want to know. The jobs are considered too small or in the case of Aluminium Fittings are outside their traditional training. Most manufacturers of doors and windows do only that - once their product is installed that’s it. Traditional service is no longer available. A specialist is required who can solve each customer’s problem and satisfy the demand for quality service. The opportunity for a ‘specialist’ door and window business is considerable.
Consider the size and potential of the market for a business that specialises in the repair and maintenance of doors and windows. In the Adelaide metropolitan area there are some 400,000 houses with new homes being built every day. Each house has an average of 12 timber doors, one sliding door, two security doors, 12 windows with fly screens over those 12 windows. If we treat the window and fly screen as one unit, even though separate problems can occur, this means that there are 10,800,000 opportunities for a repair or maintenance to be required for a door or window not to mention cupboards, wardrobes, gates and shower screens. Of those 10,800,000 opportunities there are still the Businesses, Government Dept, Schools, Factories, Nursing Homes Etc that need repairs and ongoing maintenance. Your exclusive territory entitles you to your share of these leads. Whilst most doors and windows are made to last, the parts that enable them to work ie. rollers, sliders, wheels, hinges etc., are not. The parts wear out and the door or window will ‘creak, squeak, jam or rattle.’ Someone has to fix the problem. A specialist is required who understands how each door and window works, whether it is a sliding timber window or Aluminium sliding door.
Specialist Doors and Windows Etc. is a business that was established to fix all of the problems that can occur with doors and windows due to constant usage, age or deliberate damage. It was created by Tanner, Harvey and Pavy who are a leading property maintenance company with over 40 year’s experience in the repair, maintenance and installation of doors and windows. The company had found that traditional trades such as carpenters and joiners either could not or often did not want to fix problems with doors and windows, yet there was considerable demand for these services. A specialist was needed who could repair all types of doors and windows in aluminium, steel, plastic or timber.
Our name says it all; we specialise in the repair and maintenance of doors, windows and screens to domestic and commercial premises for example: |
