Problems With Cheap Door Replacement Companies

It’s natural to want to get the best deal possible on any product or service you’re spending your hard-earned money on, but there are also limits here in certain areas. When products become so cheap that their quality or precision becomes questionable, this is often a problem – and the realm of door replacement is a great example.

At Price’s Guaranteed Doors, we offer an unmatched selection of entry doors, exterior doors and garage doors to clients around Boise, Meridian, Nampa and other parts of Idaho. Our prices are competitive and often beat our competitors in the area – but we absolutely never utilize cheap or low-quality materials to accomplish this. Here’s a primer on the difference between competitive pricing from companies like ours and companies who utilize cheap products to make their profits, plus some of the reasons why these entities are not ideal for your door needs.

Competitive Vs. Cheap Pricing

To be clear, it’s still possible to get quality door materials for a relatively low price – as long as the company you’re working with is utilizing quality materials and offering competitive prices. Companies like Price’s Guaranteed Doors are able to offer lower costs because we purchase our products in bulk, which means more cost savings for our customers – but without sacrificing on the quality of those goods.

Unfortunately, there are other companies out there who don’t take this same approach, and instead offer products that have been purchased cheaply in bulk from other countries with fewer quality assurance regulations. These companies often display their price points prominently, but the true value of what you’re getting is much lower than advertised.

In some cases, their advertising will even be deceptive. They’ll undercut the standard door market by massive amounts, far more than should be realistic. They may advertise “top-of-the-line door materials,” for example, but they are really just referring to the price point. When it comes to installation or replacement, these companies typically outsource their work in order to maintain low costs and don’t provide warranties on the installation – meaning you may be stuck with a subpar product for good.

Our next few sections will look at the direct issues these kinds of practices create for consumers – and will double as some of the most common signs that you may be dealing with a less-than-reputable company.

Non-Durable Materials

One of the most common traits of cheap door replacement companies is the use of non-durable materials. These companies are able to get away with using low-quality products because they don’t focus on longevity, or in some cases even safety.

This can lead to a number of issues down the line, including problems with insulation, security and energy efficiency – all things you’d want your entry or garage door to provide. You also may find yourself needing to replace these materials far sooner than initially expected, meaning you’ll have spent more money in the long run.

Unqualified Installers

In order to keep costs low, many of these companies also hire unqualified installers – people who typically don’t have the experience or training necessary for proper installation and maintenance. This can lead to a variety of problems, from improper installation techniques to the use of wrong materials. Not only will this result in short-term issues like leaks and drafts, but you’re also likely to find yourself dealing with long-term stability problems as well.

Limited or No Warranty

Another big red flag to look out for is the lack of any kind of warranty. Cheap door replacement companies may boast about their price points, but they usually won’t offer any kind of coverage or protection after installation. This means that if there are any issues with materials or workmanship down the line, you’ll be responsible for all costs involved in fixing it yourself – leaving you out of pocket while the company is left with a profit.

Poor Aesthetics

From a visual standpoint, cheap door replacement companies often leave a lot to be desired. The materials they use are typically made of low-quality metal or plastic, which doesn’t always age well and can end up looking worse over time. This can cause your home’s curb appeal to suffer significantly, reducing its value in the eyes of potential buyers or renters down the line.

At Price’s Guaranteed Doors, we take pride in our products and only utilize the best materials available. We also offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality – plus warranties on installation and materials to help give you peace of mind that your door will be reliable for years to come.
