These guys were so great! We paid hundreds less than our other estimates and got amazing quality. Really nice to work with, cleaned up after themselves, and were very courteous. Our house is old so they brought a table saw and made what they needed to get a tight, solid fit. It looked way better than I thought it would. Very patient with tons of my questions (I like to know ALL my options before I make a decision)! I recommend them all the time and I'm sure I'll have them come back to do some miscellaneous work (if you need something done: walls put up, cabinets hung, etc. they do that too). Oh there was one scratch on our door right after installation so John was going to take $100 off the price, then we suggested he could put a kickplate on for free and that solved that. LOVE the doors!
Description of Work: Replaced front door with steel ProVia door, and back french doors with ProVia sliding glass door. Added molding to match rest of house, added floor board to blend into floor.

I have used Precision Building Service before and liked there quality of work. I wanted to get energy efficient french door to replace my older door. John also informed me that I would qualify for tax break if I get the door installed before December 31. After Thanksgiving John called me and informed me that the door was in. The weather turned nasty and cold and I wanted to hold off until the weather got little warmer. So, with some great luck we finally got the door installed on last day of December and qualified for the tax break. John as usual bent over backwards in getting the job done on last day of December. They might not be the cheapest, but I am very please with their professional and quality of workmanship. John and his crew always take great pride in their work and will never cut corners to do sloppy work.

There was a delay in getting the storm door and I don't really think it was Precision's problem. Real Property Management ordered the door and once it arrived Real Property decided they didn't want a sandstone colored door but rather a white door. The reason I rated a B for punctuality is because once the white door came in he called and said he would contact me on a Weds and said he would install it on Thurs or Fri but did not contact me then or the whole next week. He then called me on that next Monday and installed it that Thurs I have already recommended him to a neighbor.
Description of Work: I own a home that is managed by Real Property Management and they referred me to Precision Building Services to have a storm door installed.

The guys from Precision were excellent. Everyone was extremely kind & professional. The job was costly, but was only about half of the price compared to the other estimates we received. And the workmanship is superb. Their attention to detail impressed me and (from doing a great deal of work around the house myself) that is relatively rare in my experience. The installation process was very good. They worked all day & late into the night despite the freezing temperatures. Also, everyone we met from Precision was very courteous.
Description of Work: Custom built double wood entry doors for the front of our house. The job also included replacing the transom window above the doorway & the full removal and replacement of the door jam. The doors & jam were custom stained & painted.

'Precision' is a good name for this company. They were very professional and to the point during the estimate process. The work was done quickly in a similarly professional manner. We've had the door for about 6 months now and it continues to work smoothly. It is an especially welcome change from the previous door now that that it has gotten so cold.

John, the owner, listened carefully to the problem I was having with water around the front door during a hard rainstorm, even to the point that it would leak into the basement beneath the door. He and his 2 workers (his son and son-in-law) worked hard in the hot sun, answered questions, and tried to show me what they were doing. They were polite and cleaned up after themselves. The work took a full day and part of the next morning. The best part is they solved my door problem.
Description of Work: They removed my front entry door and sidelites, and storm door. They replaced some wood that had rotted underneath. They insulated the area, and took great care to install flashing to correct the problem I had with water leaking in. They installed a beautiful new ProVia entry door with 2 sidelites.

Looking back on how long the process took, I should have made the contact earlier in the year. Since the work was done in November there was cold weather to contend with. The only complaint I had was that the gentleman that came to do the work kept talking about another job he was working on and all the work her did for them and all the work they want him to do for them. This just made me feel that my job was less important or insignificant. The door is good. The product is sturdy, and the exterior door is wonderful.
Description of Work: Removed the exterior screen door and the door to the condo. They also replaced these doors.

John gave us a very competitive price. He also informed us about the tax credit available for energy efficient replacement doors (and windows) which we didn't know about. This enabled us to make a better choice and save some money (the other contractors we interviewed didn't mention it at all, perhaps because this government incentive was relatively new). John also made every effort to work with the contractor we hired to replace our deck. John and his workers, Mike (his son) and Elmer, did an excellent job. Their work showed high quality and attention to detail and they cleaned up after themselves. We couldn't be happier with the results. We highly recommend them.

They did a great job and were very professional. John was on time for our initial appointment and had samples of the various doors, glass, knobs, etc. He provided an estimate right away. Although I didn't place an order immediately, he stopped by again to help me select the appropriate finish for the door knobs and complete the paperwork. He then went out of his way to find knobs with this finish as it's not commonly available. Installation was scheduled 3-4 weeks later. The installation itself went well, and they answered all of my questions. Mike came back the next morning to finish up the job instead of rushing to complete the same day. He rekeyed the locks on an existing door to match the new doors and made sure I had enough keys. Overall, I have been very pleased.
Description of Work: Precision replaced 2 external doors for us. An existing door was rekeyed to match new doors. Deadbolt and peep site were ordered with the new doors.

The job went very well and exactly as planned. John was on time for the estimate and we discussed what I wanted and he looked at the kitchen doorway for the pocket door and the pantry and did his measurements. He then stopped by a few days later and gave me the estimate and contract. I signed it and he started a few days later. I got exactly what I wanted and exactly what was in the contract. He put down cardboard on my hardwood floors so he would not scratch them.
Description of Work: John and his team installed a pocket door between my kitchen and the hallway to the laundry room and closet. He also re-located the electrical outlets on the kitchen wall and made the original door opening smaller to fit an standard size pocket door. John also installed adjustable shelves in a pantry and installed double doors to access the entire pantry. There was originally one door and it was difficult to access the entire pantry. This doubled the size of usable space in my pantry. He also made a custom threshold for the pantry, since widening the opening exposed sub-floor instead of hardwood.

I called and needed the project completed last minute. John came over later that day, gave me a quote and said they would start in the morning. It took two days to complete the work. They removed the whole door frame and replaced everything to the point that the new 81" door looks like it was the original. The workmanship is excellent and we are very pleased with the quality of the job. We asked John to get us some more quotes on two other door projects for the future.

John arrived at the appointment on time and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Together we selected the door, sidelites and glass inserts. John provided samples of the glass so we could make an informed choice. The custom made door was completed and arrived ahead of schedule. The company arrived right on time on the scheduled day for installation. The installers were knowledgeable, courteous, and extremely respectful of our property. They covered our hardwood floors with cardboard to protect them during the installation. They took extra care with the installation of the door and sidelites and installed the hardware that we had purchased from another supplier.
Description of Work: Precision Building Services replaced our steel front door and sidelites with a higher quality fiberglass front door and sidelites. The door was custom made to our specifications.

It was only 2 years old, and Pella sent the replacement parts, but the instructions weren't working, so John called Pella and stayed on the phone until he got the job done. The price was excellent, and he was very professional and answered all my questions. I called him again for an electrical job, since I was so happy with his work, but he said he doesn't do electrical.

Selected PBS based on Angie's List ranking. John Gingerich was punctual, polite, professional. His designates who did the installation were careful to explain that on our 100-year old home, the result would not be perfectly straight from every angle, either the door would be out of level to the walls, or the door could be aligned with the walls, but out of level to gravity. He sought our prior approval for each installation decision, including scrupulous mention of price, and whether the decision did or not change the estimate. Work was done on time and they cleaned up after the job. We are very happy, and love our new, smooth, silent, secure, attractive new entry. Price was better than two other estimates by over 20%.
Description of Work: New steel entry door installed, extensive carpentry on existing door frame for balance, level, and security, new carpentry to replace rotting or damaged wood, new steel door frame insert, then installed new storm door, purchased prior to work.
