Every morning, a little voice whis-
pers in my ear with excitement,
“Mommy, can I go to work with you?”
At first, I thought my oldest son wasn’t
serious; but as the frequency increased
I realized that he really does already
show interest in working. As one of
the owners, it makes me happy that I
am able to bring him in and show him
the ropes, and spike an interest in
working at such an early age. It builds
work ethic, entrepreneurial skills and
discipline. At only three years of age,
he has enough patience to stay a few
hours and absorb the daily activities
that go on in a family business. This is
only one of the many reasons why I
enjoy being part of a family-owned
business. But what does it mean to the
consumer?
As a consumer, you are able to reap
the rewards of dealing with a family
business. A good family business oper-
ates as a natural and cohesive team,
and the benefits of this are passed to
the consumer. We are committed to
treating customers like family through-
out the entire buying process; that
means we act with trust, honesty and
integrity, and an attentive ear. Essen-
tially, any company can sell products
and install them, but the dedication
and loyalty shows in the craftsmanship
of a long standing family operated
venture. When I make a big purchase
decision, the first thing I look for is
trust. I ask myself, “Will this company
be around in 10+ years if something
goes wrong in the future?” The
answer is yes. The second thing I look
for in a buying decision is honesty.
As a business owner, I frequently
get many testimonies which display
the honesty and integrity of our staff.
We genuinely care about what each
customer wants, as a family would.
There have been many instances where
customers are actually in disbelief of
pure honesty that our business exudes,
when we told them a repair wasn’t
needed that another company insisted
had to be done. Or another company
suggests a whole new door, when real-
ly only a panel can be replaced. I could
silently sit back and sigh and say to
myself, “But we could have gotten
more money for this,” and look at it
like money lost in every instance. I
don’t ever do that. I’m happy that we
were able to save a customer from
unnecessary expenses. Things aren’t as
rigid here in a family owned business.
The third thing I ask myself in a buy-
ing decision is, “Are they listening to
what I want?” When we go on esti-
mates, we listen to customer wants
and desires. We don’t try to sell you
the more expensive door. We want you
to leave happy.
These are just a few benefits out of
the many over the years where
Bridgewater Overhead Doors’
fami-
ly-owned business qualities such as
trust, honestly, and integrity shines.
Changing your garage doors can be a
hefty investment and you want to be in
good hands with a company you can
count on.
Bridgewater Overhead Doors
is a
family owned and operated business
since 1956. It is conveniently located
on the Somerville Circle in Bridgewater,
NJ and has evening and weekend esti-
mates available to cater to full-time
working customers. The company is
one of five Clopay Master Authorized
dealers in the state, and is committed
to total customer satisfaction. The
company boasts many customer satis-
faction awards, most notably 10+
years in a row, Angie’s List A rating.
