“Great company. They installed retractable screen doors on our back and patio doors. We love them and now can open the doors and get the fresh air without the bugs. Very professional and excellent quality.”- Candace L.

“Eight years ago this company did retractable screen doors for my double door entry. At the time, no other company could do it. Today the screens still look new and function perfectly! I love the openness they provide to my home. This week I had a retractable screen door installed in the bathroom. The door was installed inside the existing door and allows me to get excellent ventilation into the bathroom. I love it! I enthusiastically recommend this company!”- Lynda L.

Ryan, Tamra, Brooke, and Jason really know what takes to run a great family owned business that puts their customer's satisfaction first and foremost. Thanks for all your hard work guys!!”- Jennifer G.

“They did an awesome job installing 2 new mirrored closet doors, fixing 2 others and installing a roll-up shade. They are very professional and nice. We also had a retractable screen installed several months ago, which opens up our living room to the back patio and brings in fresh air. We have received so many compliments from our friends! I highly recommend them for great quality and service.”- Susan N.

“Classic Improvement Products always delivers quality! Never disappointed. I have used them twice, for shutters in my home. Once when I remodeled the back half of my home, and now finally, the front half! I love these shutters so much! They are so easy to clean, look fantastic, and I really like the privacy they give us. No open gaps like blinds. It does take a bit for production, but it is well worth it!”- Denise N.
-
“I cannot begin to say enough great things about this company. Haydee and Tamara have been so responsive, friendly, and informative throughout the process. We had two retractable screen doors installed on our new house and absolutely love them. The quality of the doors is amazing! Our doors are extra tall (about 8 feet tall) and the retractable screen doors work great on them (was a bit worried that the height would cause the doors to feel unstable but they are solid and working fantastically). Oscar installed our doors and he was very polite and professional. We are very impressed with the product and the customer service and we would highly recommend using this company.”- Paula L.
-
“Every product I've purchased from CHI has been outstanding, and I've purchased sliding screens, window shutters, retractable awnings, and vertical blinds. Customer Service is excellent. I recommend to all my friends and family. Give them a chance. You won't be disappointed.”- Corrine G.
