"I had called around 7 different contractors to get estimates for the work. Home Town Restyling quickly returned my call and set up an appointment to come do the estimate. I was extremely impressed with their quote process. It was very detailed and they give you the quote before they leave unlike the other contractors who took anywhere from a few days to over a week. Also the amount of information and detailed questions they ask during the quote process was complete night and day difference from all of the other contractors. They left no detail or question unasked. The quote process alone separated them from the others. Other contractors simply measured the doors and said they will send me the quote not asking me any questions as to what options or features I want. Probably intended to underbid and jack the price up later. Not with Home Town, I knew the exact price with everything detailed in the quote before he left. They even walked me through install process and what to expect. Also included in the quote was to cover replacing a portion of the subfloor which was likely going to be rotted (it was) due to the cheap French doors. Thanks Beau you did a great job on that. So we went with the extra wide Sunrise doors (Wisconsin style as Beau described it to us) for both upstairs and downstairs with the upstairs having the built in blinds. Before our estimate appointment I decided to stop in to their showroom to see the product in person. Beau showed me the doors and went into great detail about everything including the engineering design of the doors which I appreciated being an engineer myself. He also showed me the quality and energy efficiency of the glass with their heat lamp test which was impressive to see the difference in types of glass. So between the demo in their showroom and the quote process it made my decision very easy on which contractor was getting the job. Beau is a great salesman. Ok so after sealing the deal they ordered my doors which was around a 10-12 week wait as the vendor builds everything to order which I'm okay with. I feel that results in better quality products than something being mass produced overseas. After seeing other recommendations on here for Bill doing the installation I asked if Bill could install mine. Glad I did. Bill did a great job.. He was very attentive to every detail and made sure everything was done perfectly. For a guy who takes the time to French curl his mustache I kind of figured he would leave no detail imperfect on the install. It took a couple of days for the initial install and a few followup visits for some trim/finish pieces to be ordered. Thanks Bill. As for the product itself I am pretty happy. We could immediately tell a difference in the temperature in our house. The doors are solid and so far no leaks unlike the cheap rotting French doors they replaced. They are pricey but very well engineered and the fact that they come with a lifetime transferable warranty means I don't ever have to worry which made me okay with the price. These are not the cheap mass produced doors you see in the big box stores. Overall I was quite happy with the work that Home Town Restyling did. If I had to find a critique I would say they could improve upon their communication post quote to finished install a little bit. I would definitely consider hiring them again on upcoming future projects."
