Paul Bianco Contractors

Did an exceptional job. This was done in June 2012. We were getting our home resided and we also wanted a steel door to replace the old wooden door. I ordered the door myself from Home Depot. I called Paul when the door was delivered and he and a helper installed the door with new privacy glass sidelights. Paul scheduled us so that we would have the door installed before the house was resided. He did an excellent job and also installed a new storm door that we also purchased. Our neighbors have stated to us a number of times as to how beautiful our front door and frame look. I have also read that realtors say that an attractive front door is a major factor when trying to sell a home.

From the time of the first phone call to the end of the installation, I could not have been more pleased.  Paul was thorough in his explanation of the job, answered all of my questions, and gave me confidence that I was hiring a real professional.  He described in detail everything he was going to do and the reason for doing it.  Since all of these steel door sidelight systems are custom ordered, he asked that I give him $1000 to pay for the door.  I thought this to be reasonable, since if he paid for the door and for some reason I changed my mind, he would be stuck with a custom built, unreturnable item.  I ordered the storm door myself from Home Depot and purchased the door knob and dead bolt lock for the door.  Also, these doors come only finished with a sealer prime, so I also purchased paint.  Paul does not do the painting, but he gave me the name of a painter if I chose not to paint it myself.  I was so happy that Paul said he would come on a Saturday to install the door.  We are also getting the entire house vinyl sided.  It is important that the door be installed before the siding, as it is not uncommon when a 43 year old door system is removed, some damage to the shingles is possible.  By putting the door in first, any damage will not be a problem since the damaged shingles will be removed when the house is sided.  Paul and his helper did a beautiful installation job.  The new system looks marvelous and will look even better when the painting is done.  Paul gave us an estimate of $2000 for the steel door system and the installation.  Naturally, the storm door, knob, locks and paint were additional costs that I took care of myself.  He estimated the door system to be $1200 and his installation to be $800.  He estimate was right on the mark give or take less that $10.

I've used him for several years. He's fantastic, punctual and responsive. If there is a problem he takes care of it.

I contacted Paul (I had used him before to put an addition on my home) in late May. He measured the windows, informed me of my options, recommended a good quality vinyl window, ordered them from his supplier and showed up for the job on the time and date we had agreed upon. He finished the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after himself. We were very satisfied with his work.
