Front doors at home depot5/10/2023 I understand that Home Depot’s complete installation is convenient for consumers, and charging consumers for that convenience isn’t unreasonable. As a result, purchasing and installing two $100 storm doors through Home Depot was suddenly about to cost us $639. This $75 per-door modification fee is in addition to the $127 per-door installation fee (plus the $15 per-door removal fee, if you have old storm doors still in place) that Home Depot will charge to install the door (after the $35 measurement fee). In order to install either new door, Home Depot would need to add a small amount of trim around one side of each door frame for the cost of $75 per door. The clerk informed her that one door was one inch and change wider than standard size and the other door was one inch and change taller than standard size. Three kids in tow, she found a clerk who was able to pull up the measurements and provide a quote for full service installation. This week, my wife unsuccessfully visited Home Depot to place an order for two doors. During the time we had spent waiting to hear the final measurements, my wife and I had removed one of the old storm doors and sanded/finished the frames so that we could pick out our new doors and have them installed immediately. Unfortunately, they were unable to give us any other information over the phone, insisting instead that we come into the store to receive the measurements and choose the doors. One and a half weeks after the professional measurer came by the house, Home Depot called with the news that they had measurements and quotes for our doors. I can use a tape measure as well as anyone else, but we wanted to make sure we got the perfect fit, so set up an appointment and shelled out our $35. The measurement service is billed as a one-time professional visit that will ensure exact measurements, resulting in a perfect door selection and fit. ![]() I understand the company doesn’t want consumers to waste its service reps’ time and requiring the consumer to put a little skin in the game can help defray the costs of these services. This seems fair, and I’m willing to give Home Depot the benefit of the doubt here. ![]() Here’s how much of a breeze it actually isn’t, as personally experienced by myself and my wife.įirst, when you visit or call your local Home Depot, they tell you that they won’t do a door installation without a professional measurement, for which the consumer must pay $35 up front. According to the Home Depot’s own website, “ Choosing the right size door is a breeze.”
