NEGATIVE 5 STARS 🤬🤬🤬
I rarely leave negative reviews, but after months of frustration, I feel others should know about my experience with Mid State Doors.
We purchased two very expensive doors from them: a front storm door with sliding glass panels that open to a screen for fresh air, and a wrought iron security door. I was disappointed to discover that the security door requires a key to lock and unlock from both the inside and outside. While my husband may have ordered it that way, he is disabled and did not fully understand the safety implications. I tried explaining that this setup creates a serious concern for our family in the event of an emergency. Although I eventually accepted that situation, what happened next was even more disappointing.
A part on our front screen door broke while it was still under warranty. What should have been a simple warranty repair turned into months of phone calls, office visits, and broken promises. Every time I called, I was told to speak with Bill. Later, I learned Bill only works on Fridays, yet I was repeatedly told he was "out of the office" or "at the bank." I never received clear communication or a sense that resolving my issue was a priority.
I have over 20 years of customer service experience, and I know how important it is to keep your word. When customers spend their hard-earned money on premium products, they deserve prompt, respectful service after the sale. Instead, I felt like my warranty repair wasn't important because larger commercial accounts took priority.
I explained that both of my children were coming home from the military and that our air conditioning had stopped working. I simply wanted the screen door repaired so we could let fresh air into our home. Despite explaining our circumstances several times, nothing seemed to move the process forward.
As a business owner myself, I believe customer service doesn't end when the sale is complete. It's about treating people with respect, honoring your commitments, and standing behind the products you sell. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with Mid State Doors.
The doors themselves may be quality products, but based on my experience, the after-sale customer service and warranty support have been extremely disappointing.
