Dennis answered right away and arranged a visit for the measurements. He stuck to his quote and actually came a day early and finished the job quickly. The door looks great and he was very detail oriented.

Mr Buchanan was very kind. When he saw that I had bought the wrong type of door, he loaded into his truck and we went to exchange it. He did not act like I had inconvenienced him. Good installation, I am satisfied with the job he did. I would hire him again.

I live in an older home and was nervous about the cost of replacing my sliding patio doors. Dennis responded promptly, quoted me a price (very reasonable!), recommended a door, picked it up and completed the install the next day. Seriously—I inquired on Saturday & it was done by Sunday afternoon! Great experience and I plan to hire him again for more doors.

During the home visit I will measure the doors and or windows. I will give you the measurement for you to purchase the doors and or windows for installation.Basic materials are included. For example Trim, sealants and minor wood needs. Some jobs need excess wood which i will inform you about and explain the needs..
