Installers were great! They had to take down an overhead storage unit to get the job done. No problem! The door looks great! Why anyone would put up a door without windows I'll never know! My garage is no longer a dark dungeon! Love it!

Childers installed some commercial doors, single and double entry. They always do a professional job. The doors were a challenge in that they were not only custom sizes but were partly encased in plaster. When they finished the project, the new doors looked great and were nicely trimmed, everything was cleaned up. Except for the new doors, you could not tell they had been there. They take pride in their work and never leave anything half done and have always done an exceptional job with our windows as well. We highly recommend them.

High quality, no hassle sales and courteous installers. Stacked old doors nicely so I could repurpose them.

We love our new windows! The installer did a great job, was efficient and even brought a vacuum to clean up after. Price was very competitive as well. Would definitely use Childers again!
