From the process of the estimate, to the contract, to even getting issues resolved--nothing but…read moreproblems, being interrupted by people, and quite frankly, some shady business practices. You should be well versed in contract law, paint colors, and triple check any paper against what is verbally discussed if you decide to use this company. Apparently they are very good at saying one thing and writing another. We'll start with the estimate. There is NO transparency in prices. If you watch your money or live on a budget at all--this is not the company for you. They show you photos of all these great doors, tell you to pick one, and then they'll start looking up prices...after they've talked your ear off about it for 30+ minutes, and you don't want to go through the entire 30 minute process again to guess the cost of another door. Simple list of A door is $X? They don't have it. I was told verbatim, "the brochures don't come that way." So apparently salesmen knowing the prices OR even the novel idea of using a pen to write down the prices hadn't occurred to anyone. We agree on the price, anyway, despite feeling like that was all a plot to hike the prices of the products. Slightly higher than others in the area, but we went with what we thought was an organized company. We requested the color that matched our siding. What I specified as the important part--that it match our existing siding. Not a problem, Brett says. We've got that. He writes down a color name. I'm not a door salesman. Or a paint salesman. I don't know one color name from the other. I just know he's shown me 9 colors and 57 doors and one is the color of our siding, plus that this meeting has gone on much longer than I expected an estimate over a door to go. That was in August 2023. The doors finally arrive from the supplier in February 2024. One possible date was given for install, so we took it, not feeling like there were a lot of options. They arrive (earlier than stated and sat in our driveway for a while before ringing the doorbell), and immediately start to work without even checking to ensure the product was correct. No, "would you look at these doors to make sure it's correct?" Nothing. I don't see the doors until they've got my old one already off and who knows where?! It's not like I can say "please put the old door back on because this isn't what I ordered." It's gone. The color: very much NOT the color of my siding. Grey. Blue grey. It's a great color of grey! Beautiful, really. The problem is: My house is brown. If you've ever looked at grey next to brown and kept from losing your lunch, I applaud you. The two are not even slightly complimentary colors. No one with any sense of a color palette--like someone who sells things in different colors for a living--could say these colors go together. So of course I am upset that I thought I was getting a beige/brown tone door and a blue/ grey one showed up. I call in to try to figure out what can be done. I am interrupted by Stacey. Repeatedly throughout this 30 minute call. Stacey doesn't understand why I would want to see the range of prices a product COULD cost before I buy it. Stacey doesn't understand why I might be upset that this is not the color I thought I ordered. Stacey assured me that even though she wasn't there, I was definitely shown every color in a correct representation and weighed my options. Stacey cannot tell me what comes next in the process of fixing this despite that I indeed tell her this is not the color I was *shown* in my house during the estimate and writing of the contract. Yet when I call back, I am told Stacey is the only person who can address this problem. So does Stacey know how to address the problem or does no one knows how to address the problem? Spoiler alert: it's no one. Which means I dig out the contract and the estimate, each of which actually list different colors but because the *contract* lists the incorrect color and obviously verbal remarks aren't worth the paper they're written on, they choose to uphold a piece of paper due to me not being able to correct the salesman that in fact, the color I asked for that matches my siding is called "heritage", which is beige, and not, in fact, "sandstone/beige", which is not beige at all, but grey. The verbal assurances that it would match the siding mean nothing--which, yes, may be contract law 101, but just another example of why you can't trust anything someone here says to you, nor do I think most of us would be able to correct door paint colors that are specific to a single supplier, having seen a single sheet of paper where we were unable to read the tiny font of the paint color, for under a minute, after saying "yes, this color matches my siding" and being assured "this is the color that matches your siding." So, know your paint colors, triple check your contracts, and never have an issue that you expect to fix, because they will help you with exactly none of this. They'll collect their $.
