"It’s been said that you form your opinion of a person within 2 minutes of meeting them and I can tell you these two young men are outstanding. Smiles on their faces and ready to do the job for you from the time they drove up. I had 2 1980’s garage doors that were completely worn out and needed replacing. Joe and Dennis are very professional in their approach to the task before them. They did a marvelous job and my wife and I are so happy and completely satisfied with the doors. Absolutely beautiful!! All you have to do is turn them loose, get out of their way and just let them do what they do. You won’t find anyone anywhere that will do you a better job than these two. They’ll even take the time to stop and jaw with you if you’ll get them a soft drink and a snack. My impression was that these two fellows were country boys just like me. My kind of folks. My recommendation for them is a 10!! You can’t go wrong with them."

Additional DBA - A L Thomasino. Award winning. Additional contact names - Carol Thomasino, Jr Thomasino.
"Worst business to ever exist. Terrible people. Liars. Have zero care about the customer. Hard to sleep at night knowing I have paid them a dime. If you hire them in any capacity for your build i apologize to you for not getting to read this first. It does not settle well when contractors accuse you for their faults. I have been living with a plywood covering over my garage door while they continually come out and accuse me of adding things that weren’t in the way before and giving them false measurements (that they measured I have not measured 1 thing)."

"I can't begin to convey the dissatisfaction in quality of service from Blair Windows. We ordered windows for our entire home going on about a year ago from time of order to receiving the windows. The workmen have been out to my over 3 times to replace the largest window in home and cracked my original window. My daughter is getting married in one week and I have a big piece of tape covering the crack in the window that sits in front of the house. Needless to say, I will never order any services again and don't recommend!!!"

Look for specific performance issues that suggest sensor problems. If your garage door begins to close but then reverses immediately, refuses to close completely, or operates inconsistently, your sensors may be failing. Check the indicator lights on your sensors—properly functioning units typically display steady lights (often one red and one green). Flashing or unlit indicators generally signal problems. If adjusting and cleaning the sensors doesn't resolve these issues, replacement is likely necessary.
The lifespan of garage door sensors varies significantly based on usage patterns, environmental conditions, and product quality. Factors that can reduce longevity include exposure to moisture, accumulation of dust and debris, physical impacts, and electrical surges. Regular maintenance—particularly keeping the sensor lenses clean and ensuring proper alignment—can help maximize their functional life. When sensors begin to fail repeatedly despite maintenance efforts, replacement typically offers the most reliable solution.
Compatibility between new sensors and existing garage door openers depends on several factors. Many current sensor models are designed to work with older opener systems, but it's essential to verify compatibility before purchase. Your opener's user manual or manufacturer's website should list compatible sensor models. In some cases, adapters or additional wiring may be necessary to connect newer sensors to older systems. Consulting with a garage door professional can help identify the most compatible replacement options for your specific setup.
Postponing the replacement of malfunctioning sensors creates significant safety hazards. Without proper sensor function, your garage door may close unexpectedly on vehicles, possessions, pets, or family members. The potential for property damage and personal injury makes timely sensor replacement a priority. Additionally, operating a door with faulty sensors places extra strain on the opener mechanism, potentially leading to more extensive and expensive repairs in the future.
Industry experts recommend inspecting and testing your garage door sensors approximately every three months. A simple test involves initiating door closure and then waving an object (like a broom handle) through the sensor path. The door should immediately stop and reverse if sensors are functioning correctly. Regular testing helps identify potential issues before they lead to complete sensor failure or safety hazards. If your door fails this test, first try cleaning the sensor lenses and checking their alignment before considering replacement.
