I've been doing home repair for more than 10 years. I've seen the ins and outs of building from the ground up. My skills are mainly focused in carpentry and finish work. I have worked all over the panhandle, just making repairs along the way. Let me get your house back to how you want it!

"Windows from Zen are excellent looking double-pane windows at an affordable price (plus, I took advantage of an Angie's List special package deal).  A tremendous improvement over our existing bare aluminum windows. Everything was as-advertised and the windows had no damage or issues whatsoever.  The installers came when they said they would and the installation is neat and professional-looking.  I will call Zen when I get around to replacing other windows and doors.

"We recently bought a house and have hired a few companies to work on different projects. What we learned from the process is good handyman is hard to come by. That is why we feel very fortunate to find Complete Home Repair. Al and his sons are truly excellent. They worked on our house for 6 days on various things. They were always on time, polite, and thoughtful. We felt comfortable to leave them in the house, but we met every morning to discuss the work on previous day. They did a fabulous job. On the top of that, for whatever concern we had, they also went the extra mile to address it. 
I want to share a small detail that I think shows Al's true color. One of the projects is Al installing a screen door for us. We agreed that if it takes more than 1 hour, he will charge more. On the next day, when I asked him how long it took him to finish the installation, Al told me exactly one hour. He could have told me longer and charged me more, but he didn't. 
This is the second time we hired Al. We are sure that it will not be the last time. He not only earns our business, but also wins our heart. Highly recommended!!

"When we were shopping for a roof, we knew we wanted metal, but we were afraid the cost would be too prohibitive. We needed someone to educate us on the benefits of metal, and to explain how we were getting more for our money than we would with asphalt shingles. We also wanted to see what the metal roofing material looked like up close. Weather Guard was the only metal roofing company we found that had an actual showroom, so we went there one Friday afternoon. We spent a couple of hours with one of the owners in the showroom learning about the different types of metal roofs (prior to this we didn't know there was anything other than rib panels) and looking at pictures of the roofs of homes and businesses they had done. Despite the fact it was a Friday afternoon, a time when you may think they would have been eager for us to leave (especially since we made it clear we were not ready to purchase), we did not feel rushed or pressured. When we got home from the showroom we read the reviews of this company on Angie's List. We were quite surprised, frankly, because the experience we'd just had did not match the negative experiences others wrote about on this site. We discussed the pros and cons, and spoke with a friend in the building industry to get his input. This was a huge purchase for us and we had many concerns, not the least of which was cost. We came up with a price that we needed in order to proceed with metal, and we decided to see if Weather Guard could meet that price. The same gentlemen who'd shown us around the showroom came out the next weekend. The roof was measured and we decided which materials we wanted to use. We were told that they actually had some shake in the color that we wanted in the warehouse, so that would not need to be ordered. The price we were quoted was the actual price, and not an estimate. We liked that because it meant there were no hidden costs lurking at the end of the project. We decided to use Weather Guard because the price was, we thought, very reasonable for what we were getting, and it was a little less expensive than we'd anticipated. They did arrange financing for us, but we opted to use our bank instead. There was no problem with this whatsoever. They started the job a couple of weeks after that. They worked quickly and the job would have been completed within two days had they not run out of the shake material, the same material they said they had in their warehouse. Apparently there was not enough to complete our job. It had to be ordered and it took a couple of weeks more before they had it and could finish the job. Had it been rainy we would have been a lot more aggravated about this than we were, but the weather was good and we didn't need to worry about leaks. One of the things Weather Guard takes pride in is their clean up, but we would have to give them a "C" in this area. We were picking up nails out of our driveway for weeks after the job was complete, and we've found pieces of plastic in the bushes closest to the house. The largest piece of debris we found was a board approximately two feet long that had fallen into one of the bushes; to be fair, it was not clearly visible and we only found it when we were pruning the bushes. I would definitely recommend Weather Guard to anyone in the market for a metal roof. The individuals we dealt with were professional and respectful. The metal roof is more expensive than a traditional asphalt shingle roof, but for us, the benefits of metal (long lasting, sturdy, attractive) made it the right decision."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it’s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They’re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door. 

The average fiberglass door that you purchase from your local door company or home improvement store will last around 20 to 40 years, so fiberglass doors are considered durable compared to other door materials. When properly maintained, it's not unheard of for a fiberglass door to last up to 80 years.

The most common size for an interior door is 80 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. However, a standard interior door can measure anywhere from 24 to 36 inches wide, depending on its intended use and the available space. According to most building codes in the U.S., a door must be at least 80 inches tall and 24 inches wide.

A prehung door is a door that comes ready to install, already mounted in its frame with hinges and stop molding included. Because everything is factory-aligned, installation is quicker, more precise, and convenient, as you don't need to drill or align the hinges yourself. This makes it a smart option if your current frame is damaged, uneven, or if you're working on a new build. Installation involves fitting the entire unit into the rough opening, shimming and leveling it, and then securing it. If you are replacing an existing prehung door, the process is even simpler, often just requiring you to swap the old unit for the new one and secure it with a few screws. Prehung doors typically cost only slightly more (around $20) than a door slab alone, making them an efficient choice.

Permits are required when carrying out any structural work, so in most cases, you will need a building permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door. If you have specific questions about your project or need to obtain a permit, contact your municipal building department or ask your contractor for advice.
