I recently had the pleasure of hiring Lou from Molding Surgeon to assemble a gazebo in my backyard, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Lou was extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His pricing was competitive, and he made sure to leave the area spotless after completing the job. Communication was top-notch; he consistently updated me on his progress, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Lou to anyone in need of assembly services or any type of home improvement ‘surgery’. His expertise and attention to detail are truly commendable.

Response from Molding Surgeon
It sounds like the contractor has taken steps to address the situation with your sliding glass door by issuing a full refund for the screen door and labor due to the compatibility issues and inability to find an ideal replacement for the specific model installed in 1984. The acknowledgment that the newly installed screen works better than the old one, despite not being ideal, along with the offer to keep the new screen door, shows an effort to provide a solution within the constraints of the existing door's unique design and installation challenges. The contractor's suggestion to install a new sliding glass door as the only definitive fix indicates a recognition of the limitations faced with the current setup and offers a long-term solution, albeit at an additional cost. The quoted charge of $1100 to remove the old door and install a new one presents a clear option for moving forward, should you choose to pursue it. This response seems to be an attempt to amicably resolve the issue by acknowledging the inconvenience, providing a refund, and offering a potential solution. If you're considering the option to replace the sliding glass door, it may be worthwhile to get a few more quotes to ensure you're getting the best deal and to assess whether this investment is the right move for you at this time.

Lou did an wonderful job. He communicated promptly from the estimates to the completion, of having three columns replaced in our back yard roof deck. The price is reasonable and the service all around was efficient and high quality. He finished it just a few hours! Thank you.
