Homestead Hardwoods

Over the past couple of months I have placed several orders with this business…8 Emtek doorknobs, one deadbolt, address numbers and hinges. I did have issues with a couple of the doorknobs, but their customer service is amAzing. My emails were answered promptly, and John Gray was able to solve all of my problems easily. And I would just like to say how nice it is to deal with a REAL human being — and a nice one at that! I have nothing but good things to say about this company. If you need any kind of door hardware (or doors — I think they sell those, too!) you should not hesitate to order from this company. You just don’t get this kind of customer support these days. Highly recommend!

For remodeling part of our home, I wanted solid wood doors that did not cost a bundle. Homestead Hardwoods has a great selection of designs and a useful website. Friendly company staff game me good answers and even helped me figure out how to save more money.
I bought five Mission style oak veneer doors with solid pine core, and one door with a full glass panel. Instead of ordering custom sizes, I bought in-​stock standard sizes. Our contractor trimmed down some of the doors to fit odd size openings. We stained and sealed onsite. The results are beautiful, and every visitor comments on how great the doors look.
Why solid wood? They look far better than the hollow doors in most homes. They feel substantial when you open and close them. These doors also do an amazing job of soundproofing. They shut out nearly all noise, even when HVAC, dehumidifier, and washing machine are running at the same time.
The company asked for a 50% deposit with my order. The doors arrived on schedule via freight truck (the driver worked hard, and I gave him a tip). Because solid doors are heavy, they are not shipped prehung; instead, the frames, etc., were enclosed with the doors. Everything was packed incredibly well.
I now plan to replace all other doors in my home with merchandise from Homestead Hardwoods.
Some doors are made in the U.S., some elsewhere, including China. Just ask.
This company is accredited with the Better Business Bureau and has an A+ rating from the BBB (spring 2012). Based on my experience, from selection to living with the finished doors, the rating is well deserved.
