I got a new door installed and the two men that installed it were very unfriendly. I have three areas on the inside of my new door that came damaged. I feel like when you order a new door it shouldn't come damaged at all. The office staff was very kind.

The 2020 derecho damaged my chain link fence and I decided it was time for an upgrade to a 6' wood privacy fence. Admittedly most of Ames needed fence repairs so it was awhile before they could get to me. I would say it was worth the wait though. The fence looks great and I was very pleased with the level of professionalism I received throughout the entire process from estimate, to tear-out, and through installation. Would highly recommend.

We had both of our garage doors replaced yesterday. The service team did a great job. They needed little to no attention from us. Got both doors updated nicely in one day. It did take longer than expected to get the new door delivered but I chalk that up to it being 2020.

We have had such positive experiences with the Door & Fence store! On a recent call regarding a non-working garage door they sent staff out immediately to diagnose the problem and scheduled a replacement installation for the next day. Each staff member we interacted with was friendly, competent, and professional. What a great local business!
