"I was very pleased with Sentry Access, from start to finish. I had the opener replaced. My older garage door (20+ years old) now operates and sounds like a new door. Richard, the technician who did the work, did an outstanding job on both the install and the "tune-up" of the door. I am 100% satisfied with the work from this company, and highly recommend them."
"Everyone I talked to via phone or arrived at my house to measure or install was wonderful to work with. I look forward to buying closet doors and a new front door from them. They were exceptional in their service."
"These guys did a great job resetting our front door. They were extremely professional, fast, and got the job done. I’m looking forward to hiring them for our next project!"
"I contacted CWE to replace 8 windows and 1 patio door. Jeff came by and did the consultation. He was very friendly and professional. Communication 5/5 - Jeff was very responsive to questions and clearly communicated the work and timeline. Timeliness 5/5 - Both the consultation and installation started on time. The windows actually arrived sooner than expected. Quality 5/5 - The installation team laid down blankets before starting any work. They removed the old windows without damaging the surrounding wall. They installed the new windows and applied the cleanest caulk line I’ve ever seen. They cleaned up after themselves. The Anlin windows that were installed works perfectly and are beautiful."
"My husband and I needed a metal railing outside our garage door. The railing is sturdy, designed to our wishes and is finished with care. We have had Tenorio's do electrical, plumbing, and furniture repair work for us. We have lived here four years and are so glad we found the right person to help us settle into our home."
"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"
"Derek did an amazing job rebuilding our deck. He is family man with outstanding character and I felt comfortable having in our home. He is a hard worker and good communicator. You are in great hands!"
"Angel did an amazing job remodeling my master shower and floors. He was attentive and worked efficiently, keeping me updated throughout the process. I will definitely reach out to him again for any future home projects. I have friends who are wanting his services when they are ready to remodel their floors and bathrooms."
"Ihor was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond our expectations! He fixed three door frames and jams in our house including rearranging an entire door frame so the door would swing outside instead of inside in just a couple of hours. He was extremely skilled and professional and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. 10/10 would recommend and will probably work with him again in the near future."
Bifold doors are a practical and space-saving option for closets, especially if you're figuring out how to design a closet in smaller rooms. This door style allows full access to the closet opening while taking up less floor space than traditional swing doors. Bifold doors come in a variety of styles, materials, and finishes to match any decor.
You should prime interior doors before painting for the best results. If you do paint directly on the wood, you could see some of the grain patterns show through the paint, in which case you’d need to apply additional coats. Priming the surface before painting will reduce the number of coats and can better cover the grain pattern for a clean, finished look.
Sometimes, these two terms are used interchangeably, but they are separate parts of a door, and each serves a different function. The sill helps ensure the doorframe is secure, and the threshold helps protect the sill and direct water away from the door to prevent leaks.
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.
If you don’t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They’re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, measure your door width and make sure the one you want is long enough. Most door sweeps are 36 inches long, and you can cut them down to size with a hacksaw.
