New Orleans Door Installers

"I enjoyed working with , the sales rep. We initially met with him in the summer, but needed time to save up for the windows. They were willing to work with our schedules for the installations, even coming on Saturday. Our windows and french doors are gorgeous. We have some touch up paint work to do, but we knew that going in. ...more The installers also left our house and property quite clean."

"It was great. They were on time every day and were very respectful of the house and area under construction. The guys knew what they were doing and would answer any questions we had as they went along. They even changed some of the project per my wife's instructions as we went along. They came in on budget and delivered a great finished product ...more that matches the rest of the home perfectly.
"

" is a consistent and reliable performer for me for all of my rental properties. In this particular instance we had to do some touch up work to one of our apartments prior to the arrival of a new tenant. The list of chores included: repainting an interior room, resetting the toilet in one of the bathrooms, weatherizing a doorway ...more that was leaking during heavy rains, switching a ceiling fixture for a ceiling fan and rehanging it elsewhere, repairing a leak under the kitchen sink and repairing and stabilizing a rear security gate for the apartment.

took care of all of these things very nicely and quickly. A couple of items required a second visit, which was also managed efficiently and in a timely fashion.

introduced himself to the tenant and in no time the tenant was very comfortable with him working on her apartment.

is also completely trustworthy - he has keys to all of my properties where he has done work, and you never have to bird-dog him to make sure he shows up or gets the job done in a suitable fashion. You can leave him to get the job done, and he will get the job done, even over several days (should the job require a second or third visit, as with painting). Even if you are out of town, he will manage the job and the details on his own without your having to worry about whether or not he will show up and get the work done.
I recommend him very highly.

"My Experience with :
I contacted about 8 weeks ago to obtain a quote on installing a kitchen in walk in basement of my home. They scheduled a time with me to come out and evaluate the room in order to provide a quote (which I took off for). The gentlemen evaluated the space and came up with ideas ...more on how to install the kitchen, took measurements, and evaluated my plumbing and electrical. I asked how long before I would receive a quote and he stated I should have something in about a week.
I waited two weeks and then contacted

again to follow up on the quote, they then said they needed to bring out a plumber to evaluate the costs (ok - fine, but when where they planning on telling me this?), So, I scheduled another appointment for the estimator and the plumber to come back out.
On the day of the appointment, I waited, and waited, and waited (took off again for this mind you), so I called after they were about an hour late and they said they had forgotten but would send someone out that afternoon. 4 hours later they did send the estimator and the plumber out, went down stairs, spent about 3 mins (or less) and said they have everything they need....
4 weeks later.....I still don't have a quote on the kitchen install...lol, and I have no plans on calling them back. It's a real shame to, I budgeted close to $100k to have a new kitchen installed downstairs and if that went well I was going to completely remodel my main kitchen upstairs....better luck next time.....Maybe you'll have better luck with these guy's but I was not at all impressed.

"He does great work, on time, and on budget. His crew always cleans up after themselves when they are done for the day. Bottom line - his work product is impeccable. I highly recommend the S&W crew.

" Restorations was referred by a client of another contractor we used, Bill Electric . the owner, returned the call immediately and set up an appointment. He came by at the time set and we discussed what and how we wanted the renovation of the patio to go ...more and he input some ideas which we were grateful for then waited for an estimate. Our concern was not to change the integrity of the look of the patio but to bring the 50+ year patio to a fresher look . After a week not hearing from him,

apologized that he had misplaced our information and promised to get back in a few days. After our missing an appointment accidently, he did meet his next appointment and we went with the bid. The bid was broken down by item cost very easily read. We did eliminate one electrical job.

required half down (mostly for the cost of the expensive lumber 4x4 cedar posts) and even with the added brick work only took the balance upon satisfaction, which we greatly gave.
Job started on time and work was done with visits from

each day to check progress and quality of work. The job actually started without the brick work, only patches and a change to full tear down of the brick walls with the exception of 3 walls and are glad as it really improved the look and stability of each section.

was able to reuse the bricks and supplied a few at their cost.
The men cleaned and picked up trash each night and stayed throughout the day until late at night to complete the time anticipated. Although some workers knew little english, there was always someone there you could question about the progress.
The only issue we had was the screen door that was ordered. Lowe's gave the contractor a false delivery date and with a back order delayed the door for two weeks. I personally called Lowe's to put more pressure into the delivery and hope to have Lowe's get the door sooner. As it turned out the door screen was damaged and the contractor did not have a good experience in Lowe's being responsible for the damage.

personally fixed the screen door and installed the door. When we realized the door would not come for a few weeks

installed a temporary screen flip to allow our dog to go in and out and also keep the bees and bugs out which was a serious concern of ours.

has not responded to the outstanding collection of the door charge.
Our project is on

Restorations web site gallery. It was a well done professional job.

is very knowledgeable of his craft and he is on the west bank (Yea). His workers are very meticulous in their quality of work. Very happy to give a local contractor work.

"The door arrived in 8 weeks and the installation was routine and flawless. Approximately 4 weeks later, a small wooden section of the door jamb broke off from the lower corner. The door is only used for normal entry and exit from the house to a deck so we were perplexed as to how and why this could have happened. I called the company and was greeted ...more with disinterest. I asked if the door was still covered by a warranty and was told yes. The salesman said an inspector would contact me to arrange a on-site inspection of the door. We never heard another word. I realize this is a small job for a company used to working with contractors but their overall customer service is very poor. If I had to do it over again, I probably with go with a national retailer. We like to use local companies whenever possible but I cannot recommend

.

"I work out of town quite a bit. When I returned home from out of town, I had a letter from my homeowner's insurance provider indicating that I needed some minor work done on my home. The repairs weren't unreasonable, but the timeframe was. My provider gave me a week, during Mardi , to make these repairs. I called ...more

and

was out that afternoon to perform an estimate. He and his workers were at my home the next day at 7am to begin the work. These gentlemen do incredible work and were available in a pinch. I highly recommend

to anyone needing general contracting work."

"We decided to hire for the work we were seeking based on their estimate which was very competitive. , who came to do the estimate, was prompt and thorough and it was clear he knew the business very well. It took a little time to get on the schedule, but our deadline for having the work complete was March ...more 1st, so it was not a problem (and they have since completed the work well in advance of our deadline). The crews who came to the house were prompt and hardworking. We had a few communication issues that came up when transitioning from the construction work to the painters and about exactly what painting was to be completed, but once notified,

got a crew back to our house ASAP to finish the work. We are very happy with the results and plan to use

for work we will complete later this year."

"As a single female homeowner who makes a sparse living in education, I did not feel for a moment that I was in any way in of being ripped off. What professionals! First of all, neither of the men who met with me about the estimate used the word "we", which is an old trick that many less than honest men use with single ...more women. There is no <

>we</

> here: just me and my checkbook. Second, if I felt uncomfortable with a situation, Mr. Sanne addressed it immediately. He actually listened to me. Third, the work is beautiful. I have paid far much more for less in the past. I am very impressed with

overall. Penny, in the office, deserves get a raise for all of my calls and adjustments. I hope to have

complete future work on my cottage, and I have recommended

to my other single female homeowner friends."
