A Message About the Coronavirus
Updated May 15th, 2020
To Our Customers,
Amidst the current coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the safety and well-being of our customers and employees remains a top priority. Our office will remain open. Our office, showroom and parts sales will be open in accordance with the regulations set forth by the CDC and OSHA guidelines for construction, considered an essential business. Both our office staff and installation team are practicing safe social distancing and proper hygiene with regard to hand washing, personal protective equipment and sanitizing workspaces. The installation team has been instructed to enter only a customers’ garage when able, and to wear a clean mask, gloves, and booties where appropriate.
If you prefer to not have any contact with our technician, but would still like to keep your scheduled appointment, please let the office know and we can handle payment via phone instead of in-person with the technician. To help keep our employees’ safe, and maintain safe social distancing, we do ask that you wait in the home, or somewhere other than the garage while we are performing a service or installation.
The DistribuDoors’ team remains committed to providing the highest quality service to our customers, as safely as possible. Please feel free to contact our office with any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you all for your support and understanding as we work through this difficult time together.
Sincerely,
The DistribuDoors Team
