I decided to replace my original double entry front doors with transom window above this year. The doors needed to be replaced and I did not want to spend a lot of money on "just front doors". I did not think front doors were that important - I could not have been more wrong. I started my process to research companies in my area and collected 3 quotes from reputable companies and all quotes were comparable. The quotes were to replace the doors with the same design since upgrading to a larger door would increase the cost significantly, as I was told by one of the sales rep from another company. I looked at the door options available and was close to making a decision but deep down was not really thrilled with any of the options I have seen - all the doors looked boring. At the last moment I came across a photo online and fell in love with a front door style posted by Delco. The door was stunning. It was a single 8 foot door with windows on both sides. It looked really expensive and like it would cost more than I was willing to invest on a front door. But I loved it. I called Delco and Ayal answered the phone and provided me with an estimate based on the measurements of the door opening. After hearing the quote was around the same as the others, I decided to make an appointment. When I arrived, Ayal showed me the options and explained the process. I was concerned a large door might not look right on my small house but he assured me it would and told me they installed large doors on several houses that also had smaller frontage. We went over pricing and he happily provided me with a reference of a house they did with a similar door. (I always insist on seeing past work). The reference agreed I could come by and after seeing the door in person (wow) and the quality of work, I did not hesitate to sign the contract with Delco. I wanted my door just like this, including the lock they had selected.
I know I am a very demanding buyer, I want what I want and look at even the minor details, but Ayal was very patient with me during the entire process. It took me two weeks to choose the color, and Ayal came by more than once to drop off color samples and help with the color selection. Finally, I decided on Almond and the order went into production. Fast forward six weeks, my door was ready and the installation crew arrived at 8am. I have to comment, the installation guys were Amazing. The work was tidy, careful and the caulking around the door was perfection. The color he chose for the caulking perfectly compliments the color of the door, I LOVE it. His work is truly is a work of art. When my doors were finally installed, I could not have been happier. It was like Christmas in July and I was over the moon. Had I had known changing my front doors would transform the entire look of my front entrance, both the outside and the inside, I would have replaced my front doors the second I moved in. Even my foyer looks grander. I never thought a new front door could make me so happy, I am thrilled with the results. Delco did a stellar job and I am so happy I did not settle. I almost made the mistake of moving forward with a design I was not loving just because the doors had to replaced and I did not know what other options were available to me. I also want to comment about the after sales and installation support - it is excellent. I noticed the seal around the door was bronze, not beige like I wanted (really wanted) and Ayal agreed to have the seal changed to beige. Not a big deal but for me it is. I was very happy about this.
I absolutely recommend Delco Windows & Doors. I was so impressed with my new door I decided to replace all the windows at the front of the house as well, which will be installed next week! Yay! Ayal and the entire team at Delco are extremely helpful, honest, patient and sincere and I really feel they care about the outcome of the project and care about their customers satisfaction and that customers are truly happy at the end.
Thanks again Delco !!!
