"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!"
It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.
You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.
No, you cannot install a door without a jamb. The jamb is where the hinges, strike plate, and trim are attached. A person could ostensibly attach the hinges to the door frame itself, but it would hamper the door from opening and closing like normal. Door jambs also provide crucial support for the door and security for exterior entryways.
WD-40 can temporarily silence a squeaky door hinge, but it is not recommended as a long-term solution. While it is effective at breaking down rust and grime, it contains very little lubricant and evaporates quickly. Using WD-40 can also attract dirt and dust to the hinges, which may cause more wear and tear over time. For a more lasting fix, after cleaning the hinge, apply a true lubricant. Better options include silicone spray, white lithium grease, metal or plastic lubricants, or oil-based products like petroleum jelly.
French doors can seal better, so a good quality, well-insulated French door will be more energy efficient than the best insulated sliding door. That’s because there’s no way to totally seal a sliding door and still allow it to slide past the jamb effectively.
