Mather & Sullivan Architectural Products
Blacksmiths & Welders in Chicago, IL
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2016
“Mather & Sullivan sold and installed a custom front door for me and the finished product is impeccable. Not only did Dick Cohen help us select our door, which was a specialty product geared toward our specific situation (which was complicated given the rounded opening and lack of overhang), but he saw the project through to completion and the job was really first rate. The door was not inexpensive and the process took quite a while because of its custom nature, but the cost and wait were totally worth it in the end as we got exactly what we wanted and the installation was flawless and the door is beautiful. If you want a first class job, this is the company to use for a custom door.”
