I had a wonderful experience with Mark from MG Door. When I called, he came same day to provide an estimate. He was on time, kind and Pricing was very competitive I decided to move forward that day! Once the door arrived, Mark called right away and scheduled to install it two day later. It took him less than an hour and the door looks amazing! It's perfectly sealed and closes flush. Overall, I'm very pleased and will use and recommend MG Door to anyone in the future! read more

Mark did an outstanding job. His communication was prompt and clear and his workmanship was terrific.

Experienced issues with the back door including, gaps with the frame, closing/locking misalignment, and visually looked like areas were melting off the door. Unpleasant all around. Turned out there was also water leaking in unseen. Mark scheduled a time to inspect my issues, learn what I'd really like (new door, gaps addressed and a storm door added), informed me of my choices and what his next steps would be and a reasonable quote. By the end of the day, my new doors were ordered and three weeks later they were installed and the surprise piece of rotten wood found was replaced. The final payment wound up being about $150 less than quoted, because some pieces could be reused. read more

Installed a service door for a custom sized door and provided guidance about getting a deadbolt lock and removed the existing door. Not too many installers provide this level of service or offer garage service door installations. Finally, the price was great for the effort, delivery of service and project time. read more

My experience with Mark from M and G door was great from beginning to end. No hidden fees everything was straightforward. Mark's attention to detail during the installation process was impeccable. Also no markkup on the price of the door. I couldn't be more pleased with the whole process. Thanks so much Mark. read more

I just finished a great experience with Mark! We had an aging exterior door, which due to not previously having a storm door also had issues with the surrounding framing and threshold. I messaged Mark and shared concerns that the scope may be beyond that of a door company, but Mark came out the next day for an inspection and verified that he could handle all aspects; we were able to pick our new door and storm door that day. During the installation Mark was on time, thorough in his work and explanations, and left a clean workspace. I would certainly recommend Mark to anyone; having used Home Depot for our previous door replacements, the difference in quality and process clarity were night and day! read more

We had a great experience working with Mark to replace our garage entry door a few weeks ago. It looks beautiful and works perfectly so far. The main reason for the replacement was due to a bad draft in that quadrant of the house, and already in the first few cold nights I can feel the difference. He upgraded the threshold plate and weather stripping and caulked all around the frame. We are very pleased with the results. The installation took about seven hours. Mark closed off the corner where he was working with large cardboard sheets to contain the dust. He left the area totally spotless. Much appreciated! The quote process took about half an hour. Mark showed me several color and style options. He was extremely knowledgeable. I asked about a couple of specific features and he was succinct but convincing about why they wouldn't work in our situation. The customer orders the door directly through a third party. There might be a long lag time (about six weeks in our case) to acquire the door. Obviously this part is out of Mark's control. The door comes with hinges in the trim color of your choice, but the customer obtains the knob and lock mechanism independently. read more

We needed a quote to replace two doors on our back patios for our condo building. It's just a 3 story walkup, but Mark wouldn't even speak with us about it because it was "too many stairs". And we're on the 2nd floor. We're talking a single flight. Seriously? In Chicago? I'll keep looking, I guess. read more

I was told my storm door would arrive on November 3, and it arrived exactly then. Mark called yesterday to set up a time to come this morning and do the installation. He finished at the place before early and called to say he could get here early, and arrived about 30 minutes before the original appointment time. Installation took 30-45 minutes, and then he showed me how the door works (it's got a retractable screen) and then was on his way. Really excited to have this taken care of! read more

MG and Mark surpassed all expectations. For what it's worth, I have a long history in the building industry myself and I know a good tradesman when I see one. It's all about experience and when you add in specialization, why go anywhere else for doors? We had two Larson storm doors replaced. The new brick mold perfectly color matched, precise caulking, pro advice and little extras I won't bore you with. Wow is all I can say, and just like what most other reviews say, this is your man, look no further. read more

Focused and fantastic! With all due respect to Home Depot and Menards, when we shopped for a rear storm door their whole process didn't instill confidence, so we were intrigued and encouraged by the good reviews for Mark Gilbertson at MG Door Installations. From start to finish, that initial impression was spot-on. Mark did a carefully planned assessment of what we needed, assisted us in ordering the correct door, and his install was just perfect. That was "the cake". The "frosting" happened a couple months later, when we noticed difficulty in turning the door's lock mechanism, possibly because we had fiddled with it incorrectly. Mark's response was to return promptly to our house, quickly adjust the lock better, and all was smooth, at no extra charge. Then he went one better, when I asked him to look at our front storm door (which he had not installed), which was not closing properly. That one took a bit more adjustment, but it was soon perfectly smooth as well. I offered to pay him for that extra service and he just shrugged it off. Outstanding example of the personal commitment to customer service that is so rare to experience these days. If you need a storm door and you want a master craftsman to do it, save your time and call MG Door Installations! read more

We had a great experience working with Mark to replace our side entry door (which is our primary entry of our home) plus storm door in addition to our back basement door and storm door in October 2023. Both doors turned out great, they look very nice and work perfectly so far. The main reason for the replacement was we recently purchased the home and all door were very old, installed poorly and not sealed properly to allow for a draft and bugs to enter the home. He upgraded the threshold plate and weather stripping and caulked all around the frame in addition to installing all new doors. We are very pleased with the results. The quote process: I submitted an inquiry and Mark called right away to schedule a meeting at our home within a few days. The assessment and quote at the house took about an hour. Mark showed us several color and style options. He is very knowledgeable. We wanted couple of specific features and he was able to suggest the appropriate doors for our home needs with the features we wanted. Once we determined which doors we were purchasing Mark contacted the third party that builds the doors and we ordered the door directly through a third party, Standard Lumber in our case. It took about 6 weeks or so for the doors to be completed as these are custom built. Upon completion of the doors Mark contacted us to set up and installation date. The doors come with everything aside from the door knobs and locks as we were instructed to knob and locks and have them by the date of install. The installation took two separate days about 5 to 7 hours each day as we were installing 4 doors. Mark closed off the corner where he was working with large cardboard sheets to contain the dust. He left our home totally spotless with no signs of his work aside from perfectly installed doors. Overall the cost was reasonable and fair for purchasing 2 entry doors and 2 storm doors and installation. All in all a great experience. Mark is an expert in his field and pleasant to work with from quote all the way through the completion of the job. Would highly recommend his services. read more

Mark was reliable, knowledgeable, and was even flexible with us when we had to cancel having him here because we had Covid. He helped us figure out exactly what kind of door we needed, gave us a honest quote, and Installed two doors that look great and work great too! My partner and I are two women, and he didn't talk down to us, treat us like we were stupid or anything else that men often do when talking about this kind of stuff! I would highly recommend. read more

I found M.G. Door Installations on Yelp and I'm glad I did! Mark is a fantastic, highly skilled and qualified carpenter. From making my first call, through the job appraisal, to the finished work, Mark is a seasoned businessman who showed that he wanted to do the best job that that he could and do it at a very reasonable price. If you're in the Chicago area, there's no need to look any further than M.G. Door Installations! read more

Mark is a true professional. Great workmanship and prompt service. Our door opening had settled over the years and required replacement of door brick molds to properly install a new storm door. Mark did the work at a reasonable rate with high quality. read more

Mark was a pleasure to work with. He was clear about the process, timeline, price, and expectations. He explained what our new door would fix (drafty back entrance) and not fix (poorly constructed addition to the back of our house). The door itself is a dream, and I can't wait to use the screen feature during the warmer months. read more

Mark is the absolute best! His work is wonderful along with his attention to detail. I highly recommend using him! He's installed 3 storm doors for me now and I'm always impressed with his work. read more

If I could give MG Doors 6 stars, I would. When originally getting bids, Mark said he would feel bad giving me a quote with a 16-week wait on door manufacturing. I called the big box places and they all had the same lead times, so I called Mark back. His quote for was $2,000 less than the guys with the jingle. He was professional, efficient, and communicative. MG Doors is exactly what you want for this kind of job: family business, decades of expertise, no middlemen, no nonsense. You place the order with the lumberyard, Mark picks it up and installs. Bonus: My dog loves him and would like to go home with him. read more

5 Stars all around. Honest, hardworking, and quality work. Took the time to explain my options and his suggestions. Very happy with the outcome. Wish I had more doors for him to install! read more

If you're looking to get storm doors - Mark is the guy to call. I reached out initially to get 3 storm doors installed. After explaining why I wanted the storm door on the garage, he recommended gutters to better address the issue. He did a great job on the other 2 doors and helped me with other issues around the door/window. I appreciated his honesty and professionalism as well. read more

I had a great experience with Mark. I ordered 2 storm doors with him. He was honest. Didn't try to make a dollar off the storm doors and had me order directly from the distributor. He then came to install it and gave advice and suggestions that the 3 other quotes I got didn't give. He also voluntarily shared his profit, which was labor for the installation only. Considering it all cost less than half of what 3 other companies quoted, I think he's not charging enough, which makes him very affordable! Also, I forgot to add, my doors are really tall (9ft) and are custom doors and still cheaper than other quotes for non-custom doors! I highly recommend Mark and will use him again if I ever have a need. read more

No experience with this service provider, but I'm offering a one star rating because they declined my project because they are "on the north side of Chicago." As if I live in Kentucky as opposed to the south side of Chicago... read more

I cant say enough good things about mark. From setting up a day to get an estimate to ordering doors and then to installation, mark was very professional and responsive. He came when he said he would and did an excellent job with installing 2 storm doors. Mark is very reliable and reasonable with his prices as well. I would recommend mark to anyone looking to get storm doors installed. read more

We love our new storm door. The entire experience was flawless. If you need help with a door, don't hesitate to call this company. Mark is fantastic. read more

We just had both the front and back screen door replaced. I am so happy to have found this company! From the start Mark was very responsive and returned my call quickly. He came out (masked...Covid compliant) to look at the job. Of course the previous owners had buried the existing door frame which would complicate the new install. This is a family owned business handed down to the current owner (Mark). He was able to complete our job perfectly. His price is fair and competitive with the big box stores. But what you get with him is his years of training and knowledge ( wouldn't get that at a big box store!) I highly recommend him! read more

So I called up MG after a few years of trying to fix a horrible install by "some guy". Long story short, if "some guy" says he can install a door for you for a couple hundred bucks, run. You get what you pay for. I called up Mark based on Yelp reviews and he gave me a rough number over the phone. He came over, took some measurements, took them again, and possibly a third time too. He showed me a pamphlet of doors, gave me a quote for his labor, and told me to call some other company he works with to buy the door from them. He sent the measurement over to the door company, so when I called, they already knew what I wanted. Flash forward about 6 weeks... Mark picks up the door from his guy (I paid in advance) and he comes over on the coldest possible day of the year thus far. 6-7 hours later, I have a new door installed. From start to finish, this guy was impeccable. He took great pride in his craft and it showed. Continuously remeasuring, continuously cleaning as he worked, and continuously showing amazing craftsmanship. You see, he is 2nd generation 40 years experience in his field. He is not "some guy". He installed the door, the storm door, and my smart lock with great precision. He kept saying he doesn't want to come back, so he makes sure he does it right the first time. I can't tell you how amazing and knowledgeable this guy is. People! He took 6 hours to do the job and he is a professional. Stop thinking you can hang a door yourself. It's not going to work out for you. I immediately notice a difference in the home. No more draft, solid door, and it just feels more secure. He refuses to use the cheap hardware that comes with the locks and uses quality stuff that is more secure. Just call him. He is good peoples. read more

Mark went out of his way to help me with a couple door issues I had, including fixing a door that another contractor had taken off and hadn't put back on properly. He even generously waived his usual fee for the fix. Mark is an absolute pro, he can take one look at any door and instantly tell what is wrong with it and can patiently fiddle around getting it just right. read more

Mark is a master at his craft. He made sure that my storm doors were installed in the correct manner - even though he had to go back to his shop to get materials that he did not expect to need. He spent all the time that the project required to do the job properly. He makes the process easy for the customer and has a relaxed and professional demeanor. I cannot recommend him more highly to anyone who needs door installation services. read more

We decided to upgrade all 3 of our external doors to something more secure. Mark helped us with his expert advice, and had us order the doors directly from the manufacturer, with no mark up. His focus is doing an impeccable installation, and boy does he do just that. Mark is timely, precise neat & tidy, and all around professional. The job took exactly the duration he said it would. His craftsmanship was perfect (and trust me, I'm OCD about the details). His prices were reasonable. Oh, and he also installed our new Ring video doorbell for us. I would easily recommend Mark to anyone looking for an exemplary door installation. read more

Mark installed two doors on our home - one closet door and one interior French door. His workmanship is fantastic. He kept us informed as he worked, arrived on time, and provided us with accurate estimates ahead of the work. Highly recommend him. read more

Mark was AMAZING! We have had a consistently problematic front door and storm door for years since it was incorrectly installed by someone years ago and M.G. Door Installations rebuilt the framing, leveled everything out, strengthened the entire doorjamb, and did the finishing work both inside and out. We have never been so pleased with a project as we have until now - Mark is a door expert with incredible knowledge and know-how, he partners with a high-quality door company for the best products, he is professional and fast and all around a phenomenal resource for door installation. Due to his expertise we are going to fix two other doors in our house in a few months so they will be level, airtight and look as beautiful as the front door now looks thanks to Mark! We appreciate everything, M.G. Door Installations! read more

Mark did an excellent job installing 6 bedroom and bathroom doors as well as a bifold closet door. We hired him based on his wonderful reviews on Yelp, and we experienced the same professionalism, honesty, and hard work ethic that other reviewers have reported. We love the new look of our modern doors. Just a heads up that Mark does not paint or stain doors, so you'll need to be prepared to do that part on your own or hire someone for that part of the job. We ordered primed white doors and will need to paint them when the weather gets cooler. read more

We give MG Door 5+ rating. We tried Home Depot for purchasing and installing a storm door for the back of a single story home. After 35 days, with weekly and finally almost daily calls, we were done waiting for someone to come out and measure for the door and cancelled the order. We found MG Door Installations through neighbors, and Mark was out within 2 days to measure the door, and he called the order in for the door on the same day. We paid for the door and within 2 weeks, Mark contacted us to let us know the storm door was in, that he would pick up the door and install it on the next Tuesday. In less than a few weeks, the entire process was completed. Mark is very particular and meticulous about his install making sure the storm door is air and water tight. He also installed an aluminum clad frame for a brick house. His pricing is very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for meticulous and reasonable door installations. read more

Mark installed a new rear storm door on our third floor condo unit. He was timely for all appointments (quote and install), did a wonderful job walking us through the options, and even repaired a larger issue with the framing of our storm door. His expertise speaks for itself, and his humility is refreshing. Despite knowing we wanted a new door, he tried his best to repair what we had before selling us a new one. We worked with Mark after getting an outrageous quote from Feldco (in an appointment that took over an hour!). His prices are reasonable and he delivers on his promises. Recommended without hesitation! read more

He arrived an hour early. He went right to work and took my old storm door apart and disposed of it. He then started and completed an impressive installation of my new door. He finished approximately at the time he was scheduled to start! He is price is reasonable. I whole heartedly recommend MG Door Installations. read more

Today I add another 5 star review to the excellent record already indicated here on yelp. Mark just finished replacement of all the exterior doors and storm doors on my property. His original quote was written in Jan 2021, work was done in March, again in April; and now in October the whole job is complete. The supply chain crisis evolved all along yet Mark honored the prices written up so long ago. This speaks volumes about his integrity. Chances are you have access to a handy person claiming to be capable of going to the nearest big box, grabbing a door off the shelf, and then installing it for you--all in a day. Yet you are reading reviews here on yelp? Mark will deliver his undivided attention to your installation in a way that might be considered old school. There is a very clear pride of workmanship. He is not interested in fitting that door from the big box into your doorway because he can; he wants to fit the properly sized door and will take plenty of time to explain why. He wants to talk about winter drafts and air pockets and how the last installer did not bother to properly seal the entryway. He pre soaked the exterior door trim-in paint-for each entryway! Who does this? The only regret I have is not finding Mark sooner than 2021. read more
