BLACK HAWK GARAGE DOOR

On 7/23/2024 I signed a contract with BlackHawk Garage Door and paid a 50% deposit for the purchase and installation of a new C.H.I. Planks Cedar garage door. The salesperson, David Schaffran, informed me the lead time would be 6-8 weeks. On 9/23/24 a two-person crew from BlackHawk Garage Door came to my house and installed the new garage door, tracks, spring, and opener. The installation crew realized there was one damaged section as well as two other sections of the garage door that didn't have the correct color trim. At no point during the two-month wait did BlackHawk Garage Door notify me of any issues with the garage door, nor did the technicians notify me of the obvious problems until after installation was complete. They had already removed my existing garage door, tracks, spring, and opener, so I had no option but to wait for them to fix these issues with the new garage door sections. After the installation crew left, I called David Schaffran to inquire about these issues. David said he would get back to me later on 9/23/24, but never did. I emailed BlackHawk Garage Door's management the following day to get their resolution plans. The purchasing manager, Brandon Myers, responded claiming this was a warranty issue with the supplier, C.H.I. Garage Door. Brandon told me we were fortunate to be getting all four sections of the garage door replaced through warranty. This is not a warranty issue. This door was not to the specs I ordered per our contract. BlackHawk Garage Door knowingly installed a wrong and partially damaged door. Brandon has repeatedly assigned the blame on the supplier and insisted that BlackHawk Garage Door has done the best they could, glossing over the fact that BlackHawk clearly failed to properly inspect the door. I have had to inquire several times to get a clear answer as to when I would have the correct garage door installed at my home. The most information he provided was 4-5 weeks lead time for the replacement garage sections, and that the installation would be prioritized. After more than five weeks of waiting with no updates, I followed up again through email on 10/30/24. Brandon Myers responded claiming the replacement sections were backordered not once but twice, first on 10/11/24 and again on 10/24/24. I was never informed by BlackHawk Garage Door when these events took place. The revised ETA is now allegedly the second week of November, 2024. BlackHawk Gargage Door has been disrespectful to my time and property and has not performed on our contract. They have never taken responsibility, and their communication reflects a smug arrogance that they're doing me a favor even when it's their wrongdoing.

After finding this company on Angie's List, I contacted them via their web page. The next morning, the owner called to follow-up with an estimate for a new garage door opener. He scheduled the appointment for the following morning. The technician called the morning of the appointment to tell me he was on his way. He arrived on time and installed the new opener on the single bay within a couple of hours. He even adjusted and lubricated the garage door & opener on the 2-car garage bay and set the new garage door opener to open both garage doors, without charging anything additional. The price was exactly what was quoted. The owner and technician were both professional, friendly and helpful. I think we got a good value for the money and excellent service. I couldn't be happier.

Everything was fabulous. The install went off without a hitch and they cleaned up so well that you would never know they were there.
