I have been wanting a new front door since the day we bought our house. Scott made the process painless and easy! He came over to my house and helped me pick out everything from the glass to the lock to ensure the door would be exactly what I was looking for! The door has completely changed the look of my house and I absolutely love it! I would highly suggest Auburn Corporation to anyone looking to buy a new front door!

Just had Auburn out to replace our first floor windows. We used them 6 years prior on our second floor and liked them so much we used them again. Scott came out and gave us some great ideas and recommendations and left all the decisions up to us. Did not feel like we were being pushed into anything. Frank, the installer, did an outstanding job and we couldn't be happier. Neighbors have all commented on the amazing difference it has made in our house. After it was all done, we did notice a small chip on a corner of the screen. Got a hold of Scott and already has a new one on the way. Can't say enough about our experience.

Last fall I spent countless time with staff at a "Home Store" trying to order replacement doors and windows. I finally got smart and found Auburn (Marvin), and had 2 slider doors, 1 french door and 1 window ordered and installed. Scott was knowledgeable and efficient. The install went Great, on time, neat and all done in 1 day. I would definitely recommend Auburn.

We recently replaced our windows and front door. We are very happy with the quality and look of the Marvin windows and ThermaTru front door. Scott was great paying attention to details and helping us get the look we wanted. Frank and the his crew of installers were very professional and did a wonderful job! Would definitely recommend!
