"Cannot say enough GOOD about Dakoda! He quickly fit us in for an estimate. Day before he was set to begin the job, we had to ask him if he could delay by +2 days due to going into the hospital to deliver our baby, he readily agreed and adjusted his schedule to accommodate ours. While working on the floors, he worked around our hectic family (2 toddlers) in addition to his kindness and understanding, his work is quality! He kept in communication, gave us pointers/suggestions and got our flooring installed timely and beautifully. You will not be disappointed hiring Dakoda, we weren't!"
"Glad that I reached out to Kelci, she’s been nothing but helpful and responsive from our initial phone call. Definite repeat customer here. Found good help for a good price and recommend her to anyone. She’s stepped up exceeding my expectations of being able to help out with moving into new home & helping organize as well as Top Notch cleaning services."
"David is wonderful. He did a terrific job on a house with many windows on various levels. I have recommended him to my neighbors and will use him again this coming summer."
"He is a very pleasant man, He came in and set his equipment up. He set to work and he works several hours a day to finish the job. He made the place very pleasant for everybody to comes in. The work he did was excellent."
"Sunceri did a great job on my condo and finished the job very promptly. He also charged me a fair price and was very professional. I would hire him again."
"Very well. Great communication the entire time. There were some time set backs due to the pandemic but we were notified of all progress as the job went along. Photos and videos were uploaded to the app they use to keep us informed. The work site was clean and orderly the entire time as well. No issues with debris in the yard or driveway. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend them to friends and family. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to work with. A definite company to consider for all construction or remodeling needs."
"The owner Kevin Richmond was a pleasure to work with, he came in and gave me a fair estimate and painted the interior of my home in a timely manner and communicated with me every step of the way ! Would definitely use his services again."
Most slab doors do not have hinge cutouts, making them a complete blank slate. You will have to measure and cut the mortises yourself. You can order a slab door from a home improvement store and ask them to make the cuts, although you still have to take the measurements independently.
A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door.

A door frame is not the same as a door casing. A door frame is the framework surrounding the entire door that supports the area from which the door hangs. The frame is made up of multiple parts, including the door jamb, head, and sill.
Casing refers to the trim work located around the door frame. It connects the door frame to the wall with decorative trim.
Wood is by no means the only type of front door material on the market. You can also choose from several other options, including:
Aluminum: Low-maintenance and affordable, but lacks insulation
Fiberglass: Offers excellent insulation and durability for a decent price
Glass: Offers beauty but less security or insulation, and a higher price tag
Steel: One of the most economical options if you’re looking for affordability, low maintenance, high security levels, and a door that will last
Wrought iron: Attractive and secure, but costly and heavy
To choose the best door, start by pinpointing its most important job in your home, then choose the material and style based on that function. Simply put, there’s a world of difference between what an interior bedroom door and driveway-facing entryway door do for your home. Thinking about your door's purpose first, then its look and style, will help you make the right choice and stay on budget.
