    Status:
    Answered
    My husband and I purchased a front door and sliding back door on 12/23/08 for $6139. These 2 items had lifetime warranty for parts. ****** the owner came out to our home in December 2021 to checkout the issue with our sliding back door. There is a problem with the door track causing functional issues. ****** confirmed the parts were covered under warranty and needed to be replaced since they were defective. He said the manufacturer representative would come out with him to checkout what needed to be done. There was no follow up with ******. I repeatedly called the office to speak to him and left multiple messages for a call back. No response from him. This has gone on repeatedly for weeks and now 7 months. I was informed by his employees, ****** (owner) could only respond to this issue.

    We contacted Kettering Overhead Door with a request to have our current garage door looked at and to find a solution to the excessive water we have accumulated in our garage with each rain. We waited over 2 hours past our appointment time for the gentlemen to show up. Upon their arrival, we discussed in depth what the issues were and what we were looking to rectify. He took his measurements, wrote the info and then requested payment for the service call ($90). This was not discussed with me at the time the appointment was made but I found it fair considering it would be used toward any work completed. We waited almost a month for communication from Kettering Overhead. I phoned them several times for an update on the estimate, each time being met with excuses and finally rudeness. It was later that we received a text with an estimate which was not what we had asked for. When I requested the additional quote for the extras I was told “I'm still sorting through the piles of papers on my desk”. This I never received follow up to after. Here we are, over 2 months later with no official quote and out $90 for a service call that cost me money while I waited. Very disappointed as we used them back in 2021 and they were fantastic. We won’t be requesting their assistance again in the future and I caution anyone else doing so with an upfront estimate fee in place.
