After researching a variety of companies to determine a fair and reasonable price to replace two garage doors, I decided to use Affordable Door. The website was easy to use to make selections and view how the doors would look on my garage. After making the selection of type of doors and colors, I placed the orders online.
Calling Affordable Door to make some adjustments and work with them while the HOA was approving the modifications to my home was easy with no fuss. The doors were in stock and the installation date was established.
The installation seemed to have gone well and only took a few hours. A few weeks later, I was having one of the garage door openers worked on, which was installed by another company. The tech pointed out several flaws in the installation which were evident to anyone but a layman, like me. One of the doors was installed with a tilt to one side and the other door was installed with a large gap between the door and the track which causes it to have a precarious connection to the roller. Also, with these types of doors, a seal is needed which means the door frames need modification. The seals were installed without modifications to the doors which actually takes away some clearance for car entry and departure.
I called Affordable Door to set up an appointment for the corrections. The rep provided a time and I mentioned I had to check my schedule for the time she provided. After checking, I said the time was acceptable. Here comes the day when the tech is due to show and, lo and behold, no show. I called Affordable Door to determine what happened and was told I cancelled the appointment. Totally incorrect. Why cancel it without rescheduling? Needless to say, if I had not called, I would have been left hanging with an unacceptable door installation. I asked the rep to put me on schedule which was not a time which is totally what I wanted. The work needed to make the repairs on my garage doors will take a few hours so end of the day appointments are not ideal as I suspect the techs are rushed and probably overworked.
Also, it seems they only schedule appointments for 0900-1200 and 1500-1800. What happens 1300-1500?
Recommend more flexible scheduling and FOLLOWUP with appointments.
Sales reps, two thumbs up. Scheduling and installation, jury is still out on this one.
