Whitaker Garage Door Business Launches Sister Company

Spanning three generations of garage door experts, Henry B. Whitaker Inc. and now its sister company, On Track Garage Doors, have been transforming homes of local Westchetser  residents since the days when people had to actually get out of their cars to open them. Technology has certainly changed through the years and Whitaker has grown and expanded to offer the latest and best garage doors in the market that not only transform the look and feel of local homes but give customers state of the art products and services. Started in 1949 by Henry B Whitaker the company today is run by his grandchildren and extended family who have grown the company and expanded to also serve the residents of Putnam, Rockland and Fairfield counties as well with a continued emphasis on exceptional customer service.

Providing top of the line quality products and service is just part of the equation of Whitaker Garage Doors and On Track. The real secret to their continued success is in the fact that the day to day operations are run by third generation Whitakers that have the garage door business in their blood and inherited business pride from their ancestors. “We grew up going to work with our parents and learning the ropes of the business. The garage door business was our preschool and our playground,” said Casarra Cover, granddaughter of Henry Whitaker and a local mom of four. “We learned the importance of satisfying customers and providing personal attention at a very young age and continued to hone those skills through the years.”

According to Cover, a garage door is not just a door, it is often the first thing people see upon arriving to a home and therefore should represent the family that lives there. Whitaker offers electric state of the art doors with the My Q Home Control App for the phone giving customers access to their doors at the touch of their finger. Customers can chose from beautiful wood and metal doors that offer the highest quality insulation and measurement to ensure a perfect fit.  Customers can also count on Whitaker for yearly maintenance and service contracts to ensure that their doors are functioning to the highest level.  “By offering hundreds of different styles, designs and custom made options Whitaker can cater to all tastes and décor preferences,” said Cover. “Our customers expect perfection for their homes and likewise we expect perfection in the quality of every product we produce. That is the way our grandfather ran the business and a standard we will follow into the future.”
