Seamless Sliding Door Replacement Replacing an 8-foot, three-light sliding door can be a big undertaking, but with Dana Salem and his crew, the process was an absolute pleasure. Dana came highly recommended, and he certainly lived up to his reputation. His team was remarkably punctual every day and a joy to work with. They were incredibly considerate, always ensuring the work area was left spotless as if they were never even there. Dana's pricing was fair, and he consistently took the time to communicate every step of the way. I felt completely comfortable trusting him with my home and look forward to working with him on our next project.
Dana is extremely professional, he is detail orientated and does exceptional work. My husband and I are very pleased with our home renovation and would highly recommend Dana and his team. Two thumbs up 👍👍
