His workmanship didn’t go unnoticed and in his first year, he was invited to work as a contractor for Hormann Portugal, where he took part in several projects which gave him the opportunity to install their full range of products, from a simple canopy to huge industrial doors. Luis said, “I have always been passionate about engineering since I was little and watched my dad who was a designer of industrial machines making his drawings – no computers back then! “Since I’m passionate, I always try to be better.” When he moved to the UK in 2010, Luis acquired a level 2 qualification in garage doors and automation which led to him starting his business, 3 Counties Garage Doors to provide services from simple repairs to bespoke projects.

One was a sectional door where I had to work with a spectacular craftsman and I needed to explain how I would like the pieces of Nordic bronze to be made to achieve the desired look. The second one was two bespoke “barn” sectional doors that are part of an amazing refurbishment project that our customer is undertaking. “It’s always a great feeling when we overcome any obstacles and step back to admire the finished project and we can see the smile on the customer’s face.” 3 Counties Garage Doors will always seek to understand the customer’s needs in order to identify the right product that will give them what they require, while also making sure that they get the most from their budget.
