closet sliding doors

Ordered doors on December 29, 2014 paid full amount. I had high hopes that it will be fine. I was told that it will take up to 6 weeks. After the 6 weeks I called and e-mailed several times to be given unsatisfactory excuses for the delay and with no delivery date. On April 19, 2015 got refund. My experience with this company was total waste of time and significant delay in completing my project. I'm surprised that they are still in business.

doors

I would have to agree with the lady who wrote a review before me, but doors are great, price was great, but customer service was HORRIBLE. I ordered three doors at the beginning of January, was told it was going to be 2-3 weeks, phoned after 4 weeks, no one could tell me anything about my order, 4-5 times I phoned and gave them my name and phone number and was told someone would call me back, no one ever called me back and eventually no one answered my phone calls. I finally had to get my boyfriend to call and he was able to get some information. Was told delivery was coming that week. I didn't hear from them for another two weeks, called and then finally got doors one week later. In total it took 8 weeks to get my doors, rather than 2-3 weeks and how I was treated as a customer in those extra 6 weeks of waiting was not good. Gentlemen, just an FYI, a phone call and an update goes a long way in keeping your customer informed and happy. Even if it is not good news (e.g. we ordered the wrong doors, or we forgot to place your order) just tell the customer, so that they can adjust their project timelines. Don't ignore me and not call them back. Just makes the customer more frustrated. Reading the reviews on Homestars makes me see that this is something of a trend for you - and it is probably not a good road to go down.

2 Sliding Closet Door System

If you want to have your renovation done on time, this is not a good company to work with. Neil, our main contact told us that due to the Xmas holiday, the door would arrive approx. on Jan 23, 2014 without getting informed. Then, when I sent an email, it should arrive around Jan 30, then I called again to confirm, then now it will arrive on Feb. 5th. When I called them for the explanation what I hear from Neil was, it is not a big deal to have the door system to arrive late. The contractor should work around their schedule. Really? It shouldn’t be up to Neil, whether it is a big deal or not. Not only that, it should be a big deal for Neil to fail to meet their own deadline. I also dealt with the company who were more responsible and kinder to the customers. I figured as long as their mentality is like that, would they ever think about improving their service? Not very hopefully at this moment.

Company Response

If anything, this was admittedly a breakdown in Diplomacy on our part in handling this situation. Our experience dates back to 1976 when we first established ourselves and one result of this is to quote ETA's according to average expected lead times based on
history, and factory confirmations. We never give a knowingly false ETA in order to make a sale. In fact, we have refused many orders when we are certain that lead times expected by clients for certain products cannot be met. This reviewer was understandably frustrated with the continued delays as she was obviously being
pressured by her contractor for the materials in order to complete the job. Her demand for an explanation as to the 'why' of the delay could not meaningfully be answered at that time, as the answer goes far beyond the scope of the matter at hand and would not have solved
the immediate problem. Therefore, at this point I feel it important to give a brief, cursory explanation of the whys of manufacturing delays. The past couple of years has seen much downturn and consequently turmoil in the local economy. Many factories and
suppliers have felt the brunt of this turmoil. This has resulted in layoffs, reduced raw material inventories, human error, and general disarray, resulting in occasional delays in manufacturing time. This is being felt in many industries. This has been very
frustrating for us, being on the 'front lines', and being unable to control the problems behind us. Most of our contractor customers are acutely aware of these problems and do their best to work around them. Fortunately, situations such as the one experienced
with this client are still relatively rare, and what we can do to improve from our end is to try and step up our communications with clients even with bad news, and bring professionalism back to the forefront in every case.

Bought windows for home upgrade. Good no frills products at competitive prices. Service was prompt and met all my expectations. The windows have held up for the last few years no problems.

Basement Entry Door

They did what no one else could do! Gave me a metal security door with venting door light (ie a 1/2 height window that you can slide open with a little screen) for my tiny basement door opening, within my budget. They communicated problems clearly, i.e. ordering a month before Xmas means their suppliers may not be able to deliver my custom supplies quickly. They were right, took 2 months to get my door done due to Xmas slow down, which was a drag and made for a chilly laundry room this winter. Now I have to figure out how to install it during the deep freeze! But the door is exactly what I requested... and several others told me it would be either triple the price or completely not possible to manufacture. Worth a visit!

Thank you for the review Mimi. Rest assured that our manufacturing time that you experienced is at least twice the normal for the rest of the year. As long as you are happy with the final product!

windows & doors

purchased custom windows and doors for self installation. They had pretty good selection of products as well as a warehouse of one-offs to really help the budget minded. The ordering process was painless as was the delivery. The product is good, and was good value for the cost.
