The French Steel Company Atlanta

Jan 2024

We have large bifold doors from French steel company installed by AVI. The outer frame paint job by AVI is very poor my done as many areas are peeling off. The picture shows peeling paint after it was repainted once. Soon after, these paints are just flaking off in many areas. Aside from poor workmanship, their lack of service is more frustrating. I have reached out to AVI and French steel company on multiple occasions without any resolution for over 3 months. I would not recommend the French steel company and AVI to anyone who may be interested in steel doors.

I ordered double arched steel doors and a palladium window from French Steel through AVI windows and doors. Although they look beautiful from 10+ feet away the quality of the doors that were installed are subpar at best with areas of the finish coming off, scratches on some of the glass panels, sloppy workmanship including an uneven steel bar and black caulk and/or paint on the glass. Tom Scardino, of French Steel, finally come out to view them 3 weeks after the installation. He said that "the doors looked fine to him and that my painter should touch up the areas where the finish was coming.

I ordered double arched steel doors and a palladium window from French Steel through AVI windows and doors. Although they look beautiful from 10+ feet away the quality of the doors that were installed are subpar at best with areas of the finish coming off, scratches on some of the glass panels, sloppy workmanship including an uneven steel bar and black caulk and/or paint on the glass. Tom Scardino, of French Steel, finally come out to view them 3 weeks after the installation. He said that "the doors looked fine to him and that my painter should touch up the areas where the finish was coming. " He took no responsibility for the quality issues nor did he offer to repair them. Although French Steel's website states that "our architectural steel doors and their custom finishes are protected under warranties for each unit so that each project can be undertaken with confidence and peace of mind" they don't seem willing to stand behind this 'supposed' warranty. On another note these doors took 8 months to arrive from the time they were ordered. At this point this seems like the least of the issues with this company. As a realtor I often see steel and glass doors on properties and wanted "that look" for my personal home. However I had hoped for and expected better quality.
