Testimonials

On 2/23/2026 Dean Langenhahn had this to say:
Lake County Door Co installed a new garage door in February 2026 after our neighbor accidentally damaged our garage door beyond repair. They came out quickly and gave us several options. When they replaced the door, they did a very thorough, including very carefully removing the old door, while our vehicles were still in there, since we couldn't get them out until the old door was removed. The techs were incredibly professional. I can't recommend them enough! Lake County Door Co installed our garage door opener in Oct 2000, which lasted just short of 22 years, much longer than the average 10-15 years. When it did finally break, a technician was out the next business day. They were honest right from the start and did not try to sell us anything beyond what we needed. They could have tried to sell us a new door, which looks shabby, but only told us a new door opener was needed. There was no charge for the visit, and someone was out the next day to install the new door opener. It only took about 45 minutes, and cost less then the average installation with other companies. All the staff is very nice, and professional. I can't recommend them enough!!!

I had to contact Lake County Door again for service on my garage door. This is the third time I have had to call for service and I am so happy that I didn't have to wait long. They provided quick and reliable service. They quickly found the problem and fixed it. They are very dependable. They came when they said they would come so that is a 5 star rating for me.
