"I REALLY liked the salesperson that we bought it from. HE was excellent. When there was a glitch with our siding order, he came back out to check things out. HOWEVER, the guy who put up our siding was not real particular. He cut off our gutters when they were to be removed and re-hung. I AM pleased that the company replaced them without any hassle. The siding was over hanging the gables. It wasn't until we said something that he fixed it. That was the overall problem. Unless we caught a problem, it would have remained. While it might be our house itself, the siding installment is not what I'd consider "A". I don't think that I should be the one pointing out mistakes and getting them fixed. I think that they should have just been fixed. I'm glad that the guy was nice. But the end result was not installed like we had pictured."

"We had a very positive experience from the very first phone call all the way through to the finished product.

My husband spotted a crack on the outside of our foundation and contacted Stay-Dry. Wayne, the salesman, returned his call right away and set up an initial inspection both inside and outside. The inside basement wall was covered by dry-wall so Wayne told him that he would do another inspection after it was removed. After the second inspection he gave us a very thorough quote and said that the service manager, Perry, would contact us on Monday. Just as promised, Perry called and set up a final inspection. My husband was at work during the final inspection so Perry very patiently explained everything to me and also assured me that there would be very little mess as they use a vacuum cleaner and set up a tent around the work area.

Work was scheduled for the following Friday and Jim and Caleb were right on time. They were both very polite and professional and Jim explained one final time what they were going to do. He also kept me up-to-date throughout the day as they finished each step. The job took about 6 hours and when they were finished the only evidence that they had been there was the completed work. They did such a great job cleaning up that there was no cement dust anywhere.

Overall we were very impressed with how professional and friendly everyone was and with the work completed. We definitely recommend for any foundation repair.

"This was our first experience using Elysium to complete both
interior and exterior painting and repair work. Initially we had only
contracted them to do work on the exterior, being satisfied with the level of
detail and the likability of the crew that we worked with, we opted to sign on
for additional work on the interior of our house.
Exterior: Being new homeowners we wanted to make sure that we were being thorough and getting
the most longevity out of the work that we were investing in. The estimator
that Elysium sent out was very knowledgeable and pointed out failures in the
existing paint job as well as several wood repairs that several other
estimators had failed to recognize.
  There were areas of rotten wood concealed by paint, the estimator did
what she called a ?pen? test and took her ink pen and was able to push it
through the fascia boards on our chimney with no effort. This happened on
several areas of the house that other contractors had failed to discover or
address in their estimates. With the discovery of so much carpentry work
needed, we did see a significant increase in the estimate in terms of cost, in
order to have the longest lasting and best-finished product possible the wood
needed to be replaced, had we not received an estimate from Elysium we may have
not discovered the rotten wood until after another contractor had cut corners
in order to give us a lower price point to close the sale. The work itself was
done thoroughly, prep to finish. Between the color change, board replacement
and concise prep and finish work that Elysium did on our place, it looks like a
brand new house.
Interior:
  Since we were so pleased with the result of the
work being done on our exterior, we had Kevin and his crew complete additional
work on the interior of our home. The tacky wallpaper that had been in our
kitchen when we moved in needed to go. I was going to attempt to remedy its
existence myself; after several hours off attempting to remove the wallpaper
myself I decided to let the professionals handle it.  Underneath the wallpaper the drywall needed to be repaired
in several areas. Elysium was able to smooth out the wall underneath and apply
a fresh coat of paint. They also painted our 2-story foyer and hallways. Elysium completed a lot of work on our house, and it was a
job well done. I would recommend them for any paint project you?ve got!

"Well, the first time the replacement was ordered it was the wrong one, which of course, delayed the installation a week. When it was finally installed I had to pay an additional $850 for code upgrades. This I was not informed of by Home Shield. Then we noticed that there was water on the garage floor and found that the pipe coming in from the wall was leaking at the wall so had to call the plumbing company back out to fix it. They first tried to say it was not their fault but since there wasn't a leak before they installed they did fix it. I have used Home Shield a few times before and never had a problem. Some of the companies they use are not the best so you have to research them before you commit. I have found HS service to be good if you do your homework. At the end of the day I was without hot water for almost 3 weeks but it was do to the plumbing company they sent out."

FAQs for doors (exterior) installation and replacement projects in University-center, MI

Modern steel doors incorporate protective coatings and finishes that significantly reduce rust potential. These treatments create effective moisture barriers when properly maintained. Small scratches or damage should be promptly addressed with touch-up paint to prevent moisture from reaching the underlying metal. 

Doors in coastal or high-humidity environments benefit from additional protective measures and more frequent inspection. With proper care, most steel doors resist corrosion for decades.

Steel doors provide superior resistance against forced entry attempts compared to fiberglass alternatives. The inherent strength of steel creates a formidable barrier that resists impacts and tampering more effectively than composite materials. 

While high-quality fiberglass doors offer reasonable security, steel provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and structural integrity. For maximum protection, look for steel doors with reinforced strike plates and multi-point locking systems.

Most manufacturers provide warranties covering manufacturing defects for periods ranging from five to 15 years, depending on the product line and quality tier. Hardware components often carry separate warranty coverage, often for shorter durations. Installation services may include workmanship guarantees covering proper fitting and operation. Always review warranty documentation carefully to understand coverage limitations and maintenance requirements that might affect warranty validity.

Provided your existing wood frame remains structurally sound and properly aligned, professional installers can often adapt a steel door to fit. The process requires careful measurement and potentially minor modifications to accommodate the new door's specifications. The frame must provide adequate support for the heavier steel door construction. A qualified installer will evaluate your current frame's condition and recommend appropriate adjustments to ensure proper function and security.
