In Southern Utah, we pride ourselves on community and neighborly trust. It’s disheartening to see attempts to exploit this trust through dishonest practices within the garage door industry.
The Scam: Changing Names to Confuse Customers
A competitor in our local garage door market, Big Hands Brown Handyman Services, Big Hands Brown Construction & Garage Door, and Big Hands Brown Garage Door Supply, has repeatedly changed their name on Google. Their website, <bighandbrownconstructiongaragedoors.com> and <bighandsbrownconstruction.com> (now closed), has been central to this dubious practice. The owner of the company, Collin Brown has now changed the website’s name from “Big Hands Brown Handyman & Garage Door” to “Big Hands Brown Garage Door Supply” to “Unique Garage Door Supply” in what appears to be an attempt at disguising itself as several different businesses. If you look at the URL below, you can see that the domain name is inconsistent with the name displayed on the website, which is now “Unique Garage Door Supply.”
Here’s the latest version of the Big Hands Brown website:
Here’s the actual Unique Garage Door website (currently under construction because they are moving operations from California to Arizona):
What’s the goal of this constant name-shifting? It appears to be an attempt to confuse customers and steal business from local, trustworthy garage door companies like ours. This disreputable behavior doesn’t just affect us—it threatens the entire community’s trust in the garage door service industry.
As you can see here, the old Big Hands Brown website domain <bighandsbrownconstruction.com>has expired:
I’m pretty sure the old website wasn’t cheap, so for them to throw it away raises some pretty big red flags, in my opinion.
How to Protect Yourself
- Verify the Business: Before scheduling a garage door safety inspection or repair, check the company’s reviews, website, and contact information. Look for inconsistencies or red flags.
- Ask for References: A legitimate garage door service provider should be able to provide references from satisfied customers.
- Check for Certifications and Licenses: Ensure the garage door company you’re considering has the proper credentials and follows local regulations.
- Utilize Local Favorites: Consider using well-reviewed and trusted local businesses, like Garage Door Pros, who have been in the community for years.
