Pasadena Door Installers

"I reached out to because they had so many "A" reviews on Angie's List. I was not disappointed. (the owner, I think) came out and walked through the basement and gave us a detailed estimate in the form of a booklet/brochure that completely laid out all of the credentials of ...more and

individually. During the walkthrough, he helped us visualize what the finished space would look like and how we might want to use it (so that we could make decisions like whether to close off a room or leave it open). The actual estimate was added to that booklet and included a breakdown of every possible option or adjustment we might want to consider making to the base plan and its associated cost. In the end, we ended up going with the base package without including a bathroom. Every single one of

's subcontractors were professional, polite, and punctual. They asked us where to park, what doors to enter/exit, and also requested our input into each of the decisions (usually placement decisions) that needed to be made. They gave us their expert opinions so that we made good decisions. For example, I planned on putting a pool table in a particular part of the basement, but one of

's contractors helped me understand that a pool table wouldn't fit in that room (he was 100% right...I checked), so I could adjust my decision about light and outlet placement for the television.

was always available to answer questions and we probably talked 1-2 times per week for updates.

(and the contractors) promptly responded to any concern that I raised and were even willing to undo things if I changed my mind. Whenever I wanted to check out the progress of the basement and went down to look around, each contractor would stop what they were doing, ask me how I liked it so far, showed me what they were working on, and asked me if I had any questions. Since this was my first project and experience with contractors, I went into this very nervous and worried that I would be either taken advantage of or I wouldn't be satisfied with the work (hence my use of Angie's List). I was COMPLETELY THRILLED with the results and we were pleasantly surprised when

/

finished the job a week ahead of schedule. I would DEFINITELY hire

/

again and would recommend them to anyone that will listen to me.

"I purchased the "Big Deal" coupon for a "Week of General Contractor Expertise'". Owner, Fox ( ), reached out to me right away. In spite of some stops and starts, we were able to meet to discuss my projects and set a date to begin the work Unfortunately, before we could begin ...more on any projects, an electrician was required to check the electrical in the house, particularly where there seemed to be no power on one side of the house.

recommended Nick Haramis (separate note on him) who took care of the electrical problem.

's team of one,

, was able to begin work and did a fantastic job.

's Law intervened and a few of the projects ballooned beyond the 40-hour coupon. However,

was able to accomplish a great deal during those 40 hours. I appreciate that

's folks arrived and worked steady, cleaned up, and did not balk at presenting identification when asked. Looking forward to working with

,

and

(who perfectly handled the drywall) in the future.

" 's staff is very professional, courteous, & prompt. While their prices aren't the cheapest out there, the service & quality of product they offer make the small extra expense well worth it. In fact, with the level of service I received, I'd expect to pay much more. The windows & door are gorgeous & ...more the workmanship of the installation really shows. I was originally going to replace 2 sliding glass doors, but they informed me that one is not in need of replacement instead of going for a cash grab. Such honesty! I am beyond happy with my experience with

Improvements & will definitely use them again & recommend them to friends!

"As a homeowner, I understand that repairs will be expensive at times. When I found water damage around my front door, I called several contractors to come look at it. I went with KD Sweet Construction because they seemed confident they could do the work quickly and eliminate both the damage and the source. On the day of their work, I did much of ...more the demolition work myself yet, later, the bill reflected a greater total than the initially estimated $650. I had expected to be under the estimate, if anything. I had even purchased most of the materials (pre-hung door, luan for the floor, trim). I scratched my head and called the owner,

to ask if the bill was a mistake. He explained everything to me, but I still got the feeling that his price was inflated considering my contributions to the situation.
The owner showed up on time and explained the job briefly to two of his workers. Then he left and I was left to try to communicate with them (Spanish and some broken English). This wasn't the most confidence inspiring move and I felt a bit uncomfortable with it.
The work was sufficient and looked professional. There were some minor gaps that I later filled in with compound later before I painted. Overall, the work was good but not great.
When done, the workers cleaned up fairly well and I had only minor dirt and dust to finish cleaning. That was nice.
The final price reflected $90 in materials and $680 in labor. This I found a bit high, but

seemed to justify his workers' time at my house with the work done.
I would not hire this company again. I expect more for the price I was charged and the work did not reflect what I got. Save yourself some money!

"This project was a doozie! it involved renovation, addition to an older shore home. Bringing it up to the expectations we had and wanting it to fit into an old waterfront neighborhood that is changing daily was a lot of work. The contractor had to work within the confines of the existing footprint while making the old house retain it old-time charm ...more and adding the new mostly wide open concept look so great from inside and the outside looking onto the site!
We had a lot of rain at that time which was a problem when a roof is removed! However, we all stayed dry and got thru it.

's crew saw to it that we were fine and minimized any problem situations.
A major project like this is difficult, and we knew it going in, but its always more difficult when you really go thru it. However, I was still working, my husband was retired, mostly home, and

and crew were trustworthy and we did not have any concerns with him being in the house and on the site if we had to be out of the house.
That means a lot nowadays! Not everyone is honest and trustworthy.
I was so anxious for the rooms to be done I probably drove him nuts, but he was fine and just got it done as quickly as possible.and we thank him for that."

"They were absolutely wonderful! The work had been thoroughly explained, and the crew worked quickly and efficiently. We had no problems whatsoever."

"The fantastic way I was treated, 's extensive knowledge of the trade, sense if humor (important while in a stressful situation such as spending money), and straight forward ways - and great communication skills- I will use his services when I find the right property. "

"All the repairs noted above were done to complete satisfaction. BHI also re-painted all the pediments and the entire front door casing/trim work. They wrapped the house from the second floor down and then sealed all openings with tape. Repaired all my drywall issues created by the roof leak. Repaired all damaged shingles and ...more doubled booted the vent pipe. Also replaced some shingles that were the complete wrong color. I trusted BHI to be there when no one else was, and I was completely satisfied.

There were some issues with scheduling and the weather, but when things came together, they were finished in a timely manner. I would call BHI again for issues in the future."

"The installation crew was superior. Fast, efficient, courteous and overall a very nice job. All positives here. While the salesmen made a very good initial impression, in the end had issues with the competence of the salesman, accuracy of the order, and coming to resolution on the discrepancies. Much room for improvement here."

" promptly returned my call. He was very professional and straight forward with his pricing too. NOTE: we have done a lot of recent upgrades to our home and are very aware of what sub-contractors charge. We were so happy with his and his crews work that we added additional jobs! Very capable crew of four. We will ABSOLUTELY use ...more S W Hunt Home Improvement again!!"
