FAQ

Q: Does GarageBuddy sell through any authorized retailer or partner website?

A: No! We do not have any authorized retailers, websites or resellers. We only sell through our website GetGarageBuddy.com. Beware of websites that copy our name and designs to scam people. We frequently receive emails of people who have been scammed this way.

Q: Can I Install it myself?

A: Absolutely! Installing our garage door cover is as easy as pie. They come with easy-to-follow instructions and require no special tools. Each banner comes with a FREE Installation kit, which now includes just the velcro strips. Yes, that's all you need.

🧽 Before installing, please clean the top of the door. Stick the top of the cover to the door using provided velcro, attach the bottom hook to the back of your garage door, and voilà! You're good to go faster than you can say, "Frosty the Snowman." You can also iron the back side of the cover on medium setting for the best look.

Q: How long will it take to ship?

A: Please note the shipping times before placing your order. The average delivery time, including printing, packing and shipping, is around 10 to 18 days depending upon the country and location. We’re trying our best to print, pack, and ship even quicker. 

Q: Can I open and close my door while the banner is attached?

A: 100%. GarageBuddy banners are designed with keeping residential garage doors in mind. The elastic bands at the bottom are flexible enough to accommodate any stretch while the door is moving, without hindering its movement.

Q: How to remove the velcro from the door?

A: We recommend heating the velcro with a hair dryer or heat gun and slowly remove the tape. It's just like removing any other adhesive. You can also use adhesive removers such as 'goo gone' for easier removal. It's always easier to remove it in warmer than in colder weather.

Q: Do I need to attach Velcro to the front of my door?

A: Not necessarily, even though that's the proper way to do it and all the covers are sized keeping that in mind.

But you can also do this: Stick the velcro at the top edge of the door (not the top area of the front of your door). You'll lose an inch or two of the height, but shouldn't be an issue. Your covers still look great and you do not have to stick it to the front of your door.

Q: Is the size of the banner same as that of the door?

A: Not really. The mentioned sizes in the dropdown are door sizes, not those of the covers.

Please note that the covers are made slightly smaller than the doors for better fit and look. There might be some space left on the edges. They are sized for all kinds of doors, including the ones with weather strips, so they will not fit all doors the same. The cover measurements can vary depending on whether they're taken after stretching the cover properly or not.

Note👉 Please check your door size carefully before placing your order.

Q: My garage door is bigger. Will it fit?

A: It depends. How big are we talking?

The elastic cords do allow for a couple extra inches easily. But to avoid excessive stretching and potential ripping, we always recommend you buy the correct size.

Also for bigger doors, there might be some space left on the edges, which is ok and can be balanced out by adjusting the covers position when sticking the velcro. People do this all the time.

Q: Does this work on roller garage doors that coil up like a paper roll?

A: Yes, with the new lighter installation kit, the Garagebuddy covers can be installed on the roller doors as well. Just make sure you have something to hook both the bottom elastic cords to.

Q: Is it machine washable?

A: Absolutely. Our covers are made out of washable polyester fabric. You can wash them like any other garment you have. But we do recommend washing them separately.
