• Unknown Financing Solutions
• Catalog Size

Unknown Financing Solutions

Many home remodeling and improvement companies either offer financing through their operation or through a financial partner. This is due in part to the fact that many homeowners forgo necessary or desired home improvement projects because of the financial limitations. Flexible financing allows homeowners the opportunity to enjoy these home upgrades without putting unnecessary strain on the monthly budget. Most providers make these financing options public so prospective clients can determine whether or not the service could be a good fit.

It is unclear whether or not Install America offers alternative financing for homeowners just having door products and materials installed. The company does offer seasonal "promotions" but these discounts may or may not be in effect when a homeowner reaches out regarding door solutions. 

Catalog Size

A provider's catalog determines what options a homeowner will have access to through a particular installer. The size, or the number of options within the catalog, will vary depending on what provider a homeowner decides to utilize for its door installation project. For Install America clients, there are 24 different glass style options to choose from. There are also 16 different paint colors or 7 stain finishes to choose between. There is also the option to customize the door with a knob, lever, handset, knocker, or magazine slot. 

While most homeowners have no issue finding a proper door solution and fit for their residence, the options are still "limited" compared to some of the other providers operating within the industry. There is customization through Install America but it is limited to a certain number of colors and style. Homeowners will find larger catalogs with bigger companies, but there could be downsides to that level of inventory as well.
