"Everyone at Art of Doors is a true professional. They answer their emails, their calls quickly and their communication is excellent. Ryan, our door repair person, was fabulous. He fixed things we did not think could be fixed an explained a lot to us about our door and his repairs. I would never hire another company to deal with a door. These people are worth their weight in gold!"
"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."
"Wonderfully. Jesus Hurtado is your guy. Awesome. One of the tubes was retrofitted into a existing roof/ceiling penetration where a chiminea and ducting had to be removed, and the hole enlarged; the other was new and included a solar powered night light. Very happy."
"I called for an estimate and took the tables in to see if glass could be cut for the tops. The merchant was very helpful and had the glass ready the next day and the quality was excellent. The merchant was very friendly and helpful."
"I was referred to this company and I received a prompt reply, a request for additional information to help get the job done and a promise to get the work done at a set time. The company owner arrived at the scheduled time with everything needed to fix the broken door parts. He also serviced a separate door at no additional charge and offered ideas to take good care of the doors to prevent problems. I would recommend them to anyone who truly wants the best service."
"Beyond our expectations. We were told automatic garage door couldn't be installed. Installer made it work. Door is quiet, works marvelously. All personnel we have been in contact with have been courteous, friendly, helpful. Appointments are on time, sometimes sooner. We are both elderly and this door is such a benefit for us. We are on fixed income and found costs to be very reasonable."
"Duke did a great job installing the grab bars in my elderly parents bathroom. He is very knowledgeable in the construction field so can do just about anything you need done in your home. He is friendly and professional. He has very affordable rates which I appreciate since I'm retired and on limited income. I will definitely hire him again and encourage anyone reading this review to call him."
"Pablo is phenomenal at all tasks. He put together: Dining Table Assembled Chairs Assembled a Coffee Table Built a Crawl Space Door Painted with a Sprayer He did everything to perfection and was very quick with each job. Pablo has common sense and is trustworthy."
"From beginning to end, American Pride walked me through every step of getting my new windows. Small company with super personable people, John made me feel so comfortable with my purchase and the install team was professional and courteous. My new windows are amazing! I can already tell a difference!"
To build a standard size, six-panel door yourself, you’ll need four 2-foot by 6-foot boards, one 2-foot by 8-foot or 2-foot by 10-foot board, and a sheet of 3/4-inch, paint-grade plywood. The 2-foot by 6-foot boards will serve as your stiles, top rail, and horizontal and vertical mullions, and the wider board will serve as the bottom rail, which is usually wider than the other horizontal pieces. The plywood will serve as the panels, but you’ll need around five 1-foot by 6-foot boards to make your own panels if you want to stain the door rather than paint it.
Check the package of your bifold door. The width shown is half an inch larger than the bifold set. This allows at least 1/4 inch between the side jamb and pivot. When installing the top track, saw the track down to leave approximately 1/6 inch on each end. This will ensure your bifold door folds and unfolds smoothly without getting stuck in the frame.
Proper installation ensures solid hinges and locks, maintaining home security.
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
Most bedroom doors are 30, 32, or 36 inches wide and about 80 inches tall, depending on the size of the room, the height of the ceiling, and any special accommodations that may be necessary for the bedroom’s occupant. The size of your bedroom door may be larger than average if it leads into a very large bedroom or a home with unique wall or ceiling features.
