"Sorry we missed you. We sent you an estimate via text on Saturday the 28th at 1:23 pm. Our office is small and we do our best to return are inquiries asap. Glad you found a contractor to install your doors. Michael The Screen Doctor."
Initial contact 6/17, exchanged info, we asked for a sliding screen door replacement, Screen Doctor misinterpreted our request as a rescreening job (screen only) and we were requesting a new door. Estimate given as $110 for a approx. 77x36 inch door. Several emails later we made an appt. for Tuesday 7/5 at 11am, some 2 1/2 weeks later and at my instigation.
7/5: I received a text message at 11:07am for 11am appointment, that the tech was running late and should arrive by 11:35am. I texted again at 11:35am. At 11:50am still had not arrived, so I texted back asking for the status. The tech arrived at around 12pm noon. After inspecting the slider, both parties realized the discrepancy between our request of a new sliding screen and Screen Doctor's expectation for strictly a re-screening of the current slider. The Screen Doctor's estimate for a new screen door was $350, some 7 times the price of a screen door at the local Home Depot which we felt was price gouging. Btw our sliding screen door is a standard size 77 1/8 by 36 inches.
Unfortunately, the tech took offense to our concerns on the tardiness, cost and general interaction in the exchange of text messages. All of the problems, including different expectations, would have been resolved through a simple phone call, but in the process, I felt Screen Doctor was more interested in a quick $110 15-20 minute quick fix rather than good customer service.
No, I would not recommend using Screen Doctor.
"We are disappointed that you had a bad experience. Obviously we take customer service very seriously! It takes diligence and hard work to consistently get great reviews like we have for the past four years on Angie's List. We designed our website to be simple, easy to read, understand and navigate. We clearly list our services and prices. We rely on e-mail communication because we are a small business and do not have an office staff to answer phone calls. We make our appointments without a"window and arrival" and are most often right on time or early. Not easy to schedule, but it is good customer service. Sometimes we get delayed in our schedule for any number of reasons and we try to keep our customers updated as best we can."
I would recommend his services to anyone like us who needs new screen but doesn't know how to get the screen door off the track. We would definitely use him again.
Very polite, and careful.
"The Screen Doctor appreciates your nice review but I think you made a mistake. I can not find you in our customer / job list."
"[Removed Member Name], We responded to your Angie's List message the same day we received it. Maybe you did not see it? The Screen Doctor response to [Removed Member Name] on Monday May 4th. "Hi [Removed Member Name], No availability this week. Please submit the customer inquiry from my website to schedule. thescreenmd.com. Thank you""
