As interest in home improvement continues to rise and the demand increases, homeowners have filled their wish lists with plenty of wants and desires. And while large-scale projects like kitchen and bathroom remodels, finished basements or perhaps new windows can update the look and feel of one's home, many are also finding similar satisfaction with the transformation that new interior doors can bring.

Eric Strohl understands this all too well. As the owner of One Day Doors and Closets of Philly, he's seen countless clients marvel at just how much of a noticeable difference new doors can make and the appeal they can bring to one's home.

"When customers get new doors, there's a big wow factor. They see how transformative it can be because you touch and feel doors every single day when you're home. So it makes a huge impact and it's one of the quickest and easiest home upgrades," he affirms.

Many folks have turned to Strohl and his skilled team because of the unique and detailed process that One Day Doors and Closets provides, with beautiful new interior doors professionally installed in a single day.

The process starts with an in-home design consultation or a trip to the company's showroom where a homeowner is able to choose from dozens of designs, finishes and hardware options. Clients can opt for a modern look, traditional shaker style, or maybe something more contemporary to suit their home's aesthetic.

Once the particulars are worked out, each door is custom fit using precise 3D digital measurements, so it's perfectly milled for each opening. After the new doors are finished being built in the factory, the doors are professionally painted with a cabinet-grade finish and then installed in less than One Day. No mess, no stress, no weeks of disruption or time off work. Just instant results that homeowners appreciate because they get a whole-home upgrade without the stress or chaos that normally comes with remodeling.

"Typically, most projects include 10-to-12 doors, and [a contractor] could be in the home for a week and a half. We're in and out in four hours," says Strohl. "And we're the only company nationally that does all five parts of a door under one roof. So homeowners are dealing with one team, one point of contact for everything."

That ease and efficiency is the hallmark of the company, but some clients are still skeptical at first, believing there is no way a project like this could possibly be this painless. Strohl enjoys being able to dispel some of their misconceptions and deliver quality work that exceeds expectations.

"People go online and they say, 'I saw a door for $400,' and they think that's what the project costs. They don't really understand that there's a lot more involved with installation, the painting, the new hardware. We educate them on the whole process and talk about the traditional way of doing doors and how we do doors. Once they put all those pieces together, they get it," he says.

Seeing a client's reaction during the installation and their overall satisfaction with their new doors is one of the more fulfilling parts of the job for Strohl.

"We did a 24-door home last month. The gentleman thought we were going to be there all day because we guarantee to be done in one day. We had two installers who were done in about 4 hours," he says. "We were packing up the truck and he comes running out of the house asking where we were going. We told him we were done and ready to do a walkthrough.

"He was blown away because two years prior he had a contractor do his doors downstairs and it took them nine days to replace eight doors."

With a talented team of experienced installers executing a highly refined process, One Day Doors and Closets of Philly has become a leader in the industry with a track record for installations that may be quick, but never sacrifice on quality and personalized service.

"We used specialized technology to reduce costs and we have master carpenters on board, people who have over 25 years of experience, so they know what they are doing," Strohl says. "And our 5-star Google reviews say it all. We really are the 'easy' button when it comes to interior door replacement."
