How it works
From first text to finished install — usually under two weeks.
No call centers, no high-pressure 'today only' pricing, no surprise add-ons. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you ask for a quote to the moment we hand you the new keys.
01
Day 0
You ask for a quote
Text us a photo of the door (or fill out the quote form). Within an hour, a real human at Galve texts back a ballpark price. No call queue, no info pack — just a number.
02
Days 1–3
In-home measure
A master installer visits, measures the rough opening, walks you through 2–3 material options that fit your budget, and confirms the final installed price. ~45 minutes. No "manager calls" with magic discounts.
03
Days 3–14
Order & build
Stock orders ship in 1–3 weeks. Custom builds (mahogany, art glass, oversized) take 4–6. We text you a delivery confirmation and schedule the install date.
04
Install day
Old door out, new door in
7:30am arrival. Drop cloths down. Old door + jamb removed. New unit dry-fit, plumbed, shimmed, fastened. Trim wrapped. Hardware set. Site vacuumed. Most jobs done by lunch.
05
After
One year of follow-up
A hinge sags. A sweep wears down. Weatherstripping pulls loose. We come back, free, for a full year. After that, manufacturer warranties take over (5–20 yrs depending on door).
What's different
Five things big-box installers won't do.
Same crew, same standard
Galve-trained installers on every job. Same checklist, same workmanship warranty.
No upsell
In-home measure is for measuring, not closing. We text the price, you decide.
One job, one day
Crews are scheduled one install per day so we don't rush yours.
Real STL phone
Calls go to a real Galve human, not a national queue. Weekends too.
10% off if late
If we miss the install date we promised, 10% off your next project. Period.
