Blando Door Co LLC

They came out right away. They were much more willing to make a minor repair rather than replacing it. The lady I spoke with on the phone diagnosed the issue correctly and got it fixed in the same day.

They were professional and they seemed to know what they were doing. They were very neat and cleaned up. It was done right the first time and didn't need to be redone.

The small wheels in the tracks of one of our overhead garage doors were sticking when opening/closing, which resulted in it re-opening sometimes and the garage door then being left open Several of the wheels were found to be worn and thus not rolling properly, resulting in the jerky movement and sticking. I called Blando Door and someone got back to me right away, we set up an appointment, And they arrived when they said they would. Once the problem was diagnosed, the small wheels were replaced, all four of the tracks for both doors were lubricated, and any other adjustments were made to both doors, all on this one service call. The two garage door openers were also checked for proper operation. In addition, Mr. Blando welcomed two friendly Labradors who were very interested in meeting him. They both enjoyed the attention he paid them (especially his finding just the right spot behind their ears...). As a new Angie's List member a year or so ago, Blando Door installed the automatic garage door openers mentioned above. That, too, was an A-1 experience - both in terms of value, and efficiency and friendliness of performance. So I'm including that service call in this report, too. And I will call them again anytime I need related work done. Good people!

It took approximately 2 1/2 hours to replace all the parts. The service man was extremely nice, explained what he wanted to do and why. All parts were replaced, everything lubed and the door actually opens better than it has in the six years that I have owned the house. This was a good experience and an example of how Angie's List takes the guess work out of hiring someone. Thank you, Blando, for the great job at a fantastic price!

Price was the best out of 3, very professional, courteous, neat and prompt.

Price was a little higher than I expected BUT since I haven't done anything for awhile and probably won't have to for another several years and he was good and fast and very nice and it was fun talking to an adult. The price was actually worth it to me.

They were called during a busy time and weren't able to come out immediately. The first visit, the technician had difficulty getting the door open. Came back a few days later with help and opened the door. They were very thorough in making everything work. After installing everything, went through how to set up the openers and made sure that it ran smoothly. After the initial problems were resolved, the work went smoothly.

Better than expected. This was an emergency for me and they didn't take advantage of the situation by charging me extra for the immediate service they provided. They are just nice, honest people. I had never used them before, but if I ever have any garage door needs, they'll be my first and only phone call.

Called Connie for a phone estimate on a Monday. Was told a non-insulated door, including installation/hardware, would be $675, and an "Angie's List special" insulated door would be $695. She offered to schedule a on-site estimate at my convenience. We agreed to that coming Wednesday between 5-7pm. Bill and son showed up promptly just before 5. They had already stopped by the garage in the alley to take needed measurements. He showed us some sample colors for us to choose and explained the need for additional 1x4s on the door frame so that the weather seal would work properly. He said I could do it or they could. When asked how much he said $40 for parts & labor. I signed the contract and he told me Connie would get back to me tomorrow to schedule a time for installation. She called just a few hours later and asked if we'd like the door installed tomorrow (Thursday). Gave us a window of 8:30-10:30 and told us we did not need to be home. New garage door the next day!

They are a good company, I was very satisfied and would use them again. They were punctual and not too expensive. They did a good job.

It was difficult to contact the company at first, but they were quick to respond, did a great job, and were very reasonable. They replaced a garage door and opener on my old house, which is the main reason I used them again. After this experience, I will not use any other garage door company - I'm sticking with a sure thing.

Garage door problem started on a Sunday night (very cold). Thought I'd look at the problem on Monday (still very cold). Figured it wasn't worth my efforts, especially since I didn't know what I was doing and it was very cold. Placed a call Tuesday morning to Blando Door Co. and an appointment was set up for Thursday of that week. Connie Blando said they wanted to get someone out soon because of the weather, but they were booked. Settled for Thursday PM. Bill arrived to repair the door in short time, and it was still very cold. Will contact Blando when we decide to replace the door in the future.

It is the time of year of subzero weather. My garage door cable broke on Saturday, and I could not open my garage door. Prior to the snapping of the cable, I had purchased a new garage door opener, but my family member who was going to install it was injured and unable to do the work. Consequently, when the cable snapped, I needed help fast. I checked Angie's list and was pleased to note a company that had many positive reports and awards - Blando Door Company. I now know why - I called first thing on a Monday, and was pleasantly surprised that someone could come out within the early part of the week to fix the cable and install the opener. Connie was great to deal with, very understanding of my plight and worked hard to get me help as soon as possible. The 2 gentlemen who came to do the work were very efficient, competent, and extremely pleasant and easy to deal with. Overall, it is one of the most pleasant experiences I have had in dealing with a situation.

Excellent, even though the door spring broke on the weekend, Connie called me back and we arranged a time for the repairs. Repairs were completed quickly and completely. Serviceman noticed a broken roller and replaced it as a part of the overall job. Did not try to sell me any services that were not needed.

It couldn't have gone better. Because our house was built by a blind person, the garage floor was not level so only half of the door rested on the ground. Mr. Blando was able to come out right away to fix that problem with installation of a 6" bottom rubber.

These workmen were very nice (one of which was Blando himself) and very professional. I would never have anyone else work on my garage door. They are the best.

We called them, and they were $30 cheaper than the competition. They came the next day during the window they promised and the job was done in two hours. The garage door opener needed to be replaced as well. The technician gave us info on which opener we needed and an estimate on the opener plus installation. We opted to purchase and install it ourselves to save money. Given that it took most of our Labor Day to install it, we probably should have had them do it. The price they quoted for materials was comparable to what we paid at Sears. The installation would have only been $100 above that.

Excellent. Mr. Blando came out and gave me an estimate the same day I called. He was very honest by telling me I really didn't need a new garage-door "opener" and that my Genie was just fine, and my door size was not standard so there would be a 2 week wait. After about 10 days I received a call stating my door had arrived from the factory and that they'd be over on Monday as planned. I arrived home from work to a brand new garage door and an invoice on the back door handle of my house. I wish all home-improvement projects were this simple.

I called Blando on Friday 8/24/07 for a new garage door opener. They had done tune-ups on the old opener in the past and had suggested it may be time for a new one. Well, Thursday night that decision was made for me; that's why I contacted them on Friday. The appointment was set for Monday 8/27 between 1 and 3 pm. On Friday evening about 4 pm I received a call asking if the job could be done that day (Friday) between 5 and 7 pm. Well, Bill and a helper showed up and did the complete job and off they went in time to watch the Brewer's game!

Blando service person (sorry, forgot his name) appeared and resolved the problem quickly and easily. They truly stand by their work. The opener was reset, the remotes reset, touch pad corrected. They will also replace the face plate of the opener under warranty and greased & lubed the track.

Great...I called at approximately 7 a.m and my call was promptly returned at 7:15 a.m. Connie was very pleasant and helpful on the phone. A technician was here to replace my opener by 1:30 p.m. The technician was very knowledgeable and personable.

The owner came out to do the work and you could tell he knew what he was doing.

They did a terrific job. They came for the estimate within just days of calling and had the doors installed within just another day or two.

My initial problem, my garage door would only open a few inches and then stop when I tried to use my electric garage door opener. So I assumed that my garage door opener was in need of repair. The garage door opener technician came out on a Saturday afternoon and told me I had a broken spring on the actual door and that he could not help me. So I called Blando Door Comp. Saturday afternoon and they were able to come out the next day, Sunday, and do the repair for no extra charge. They give me an estimated time of arrival, which was about a two hour time frame. Well in advance on Sunday, they called to let me know they were running a little behind, and gave me another estimated time, which they met. The repair time took about 20-25 minutes.

We called the company and they came out the next day. They were very prompt and efficient and the cost was less than the quote.
