"Very happy and pleased with the entire experience. He was very nice, offered really nice recommendations that would accommodate the house. Took the time to explain to me why he used the materials that he did. Just overall, a very pleasant experience, and I would definitely recommend."
"Had a patio door installed several years ago. We get lots of compliments on it, but have an issue now with the locks on the sidelights and the communication has been less than acceptable. Still waiting to hear back since the middle of June."
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"Pretty good. These guys definitely seem professional: they show up on time, have good electronic communication (text/email), professional looking estimates, have the right tools, respect your house, clean up after themselves, responsive, etc. There was a little snafu with the tub spout, but they quickly came back and corrected the leak. I've already booked them for additional work."
You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You’ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it.
Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.
Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.
Yes, they can enhance insulation by installing weather stripping and ensuring tight seals.
Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this type of door knob may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.
