I had Alex (sobo) and his crew install my Front Window back in November: [http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?226547-Clever-Construction-Fast-Easy-and-No-Bullsh!t](http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?226547-Clever-Construction-Fast-Easy-and-No-Bullsh!t)… The experience was so smooth that I had to use them again. This time I had them replace two windows and my Front Door. Here is my front Door Before: ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorOld.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorOld.jpg) …and After: ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorNew1.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorNew1.jpg) ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorNew2.jpg](http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/House/DoorNew2.jpg) _Things to note:_ - There was a crew of Five guys working on different areas of the house at the same time. - I just happened to be home painting my bedroom and noticed that they just worked…the whole time. I think they all took one break at the same time, after the job was done, and Charlie was walking me through what they did. - Total build time for full tear out on 2 medium sized windows and a full tear out on front door = **3 hours** Also, Customer service from Alex is A+. There was a minor issue with one of the windows but it was address in a timely manner. I pretty much have dealt with every “type” of situation you can when a homeowner deals with a contractors; estimates, sales, ordering process, setting up an appointment, confirmation calls, meet and greet, removal and installation, clean up, walkthrough, customer service, and even working along side them. It honestly felt like I have used these guys for years. I was not worried with the quality of the work that most people feel “nervous” about because it was in fact MY house. Whenever my Truck/Car is in service at a new place I am the asshole walking around the garage looking at what they are doing to make sure they don’t fuck anything up. With Alex and the guys at Clever Construction I have now qualms or bad things to say. In fact, once I get a few more $$$ burning a hole in my pocket I will be a re-repeat customer. Thanks again…:tup: ---

Thanks. The quality of the door is awesome. I was suprised at the amount that I could choose from. So many styles. I am typically hard to please when it comes to picking out of a catalog as I have a differet taste than most. But, this door has _similarties_ to the “Tree of Life” so it was a win-win for me as I am a huge fan. ![http://www.scottishstainedglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/frank-lloyd-wright-treeoflife-stained-glass.jpg](http://www.scottishstainedglass.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/frank-lloyd-wright-treeoflife-stained-glass.jpg) ---

Thanks for the kind words! I will be seeing you shortly in regards to the privacy glass, in addition to your finish trim on the inside of the handle. ---

Also, he is able to put out a quote based on different “teirs” for what you need. Because mine was the front door and will most likely be used the most I went with a higher grade door, storm door, and hardware for visual appeal and long life. If this was my back door or a side door that would get used 10 times a year I would have gone with a much different package. Also, the “big box” stores (Sorry, I watch a kitchen world infomercial this weekend) doors were all shit compared to this one. I honestly believe that you would not get this kind of quality in a door for at least double, if not 2.5 times, the price commercially. ---
