S P2024-02-16We had a couple issues with our installation, but it was resolved and the door looks wonderful. John, did a fantastic job installing the final product and was a joy to work with! Overall, the company is top notch from their leadership to most of their technicians (request John or Chris). We will work with them again in the future.
Hannah Anderson2024-01-31We called multiple companies and they all ignored us or bailed on us last minute. We called Steel Advantage and they immediately met us for a consult and scheduled an install with John. He came on time and had the door up and going in no time. When we wanted a few adjustments we called and John quickly scheduled a follow-up and took care of everything. Will hire them again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
Chris2024-01-28I am giving a 5 star review for our installer, John! He went above and beyond for us. He kept communication open and answered all my questions, which is incredibly important to me. We had a few bumps with our doors on the building side of it, but John said he would take care of us, and he was true to his word and made sure that we were a priority. It is very rare these days to have someone take such pride in their work and put up the effort that he did to make sure that our job was done right. I would 100% recommend John as your installer.
Nathan Sanchez2024-01-25Love my door.... Installer was on time and professional. The door was a reasonable price compared to competitors. The owner Parks was available and addressed all my questions in a timely fashion. All around great customer service which is hard to come by these days. Also love the Keypad lock and steel screen

Susan Gammon2023-10-24This place has excellent customer service, and I would hire them in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, I didn't need what they sell, but they took the time to offer me referrals for what I do need, and that's above and beyond service. I feel confident I was directed properly, and I'm extremely grateful. Thank you.
John Swanson2023-10-13John N. did a fantastic job! Arrived on time, advised on the work, kept us informed of progress, and was professional all the way through. Put in the perfect security screen door within about an hour or two.
