"Santa Barbara home Purchase ADU rebuilt/Remodel.
ADU was out of compliance and Slate Construction rebuilt with all the accommodations of a full kitchen, Bath and Laundry. Mike is an experienced carpenter so really knows his way around building cabinets and doors that fit well. Very thorough about the neighbors and worked well with his crews to get job done on schedule. Would highly recommend Slate Construction for future projects."
"I would give a 10 rating but 5 is the highest I can do here. My wood front door had been made to hold a large piece of stained glass, which was a copy of the door in my husband's childhood home. The wood had rotted from water hitting the door. The stained glass meant a lot and I never thought I would be able to save it. I saw Innovative Visions on Angi. Ramon came by and explained what they could do. They started and finished the door today. It looks much better than when it was first done. Moving stained glass from one place to another is challenging and they did it so beautifully. Ismael and the guys are artists. I am so happy with the finished door and so glad I learned about Innovative Visions on Angi. Thanks for making my whole house look so much better. I love my new door."
Yes, you can add a screen door to most door frames. The screen should be able to fit standard-size door frames, so unless you have an unusually sized door, you shouldn’t have an issue. Just make sure to properly measure the frame. When in doubt, it’s best to let a pro take care of this task for you so it’s installed correctly.
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.
A slab door is a standalone door without a frame or hardware. A prehung door is a complete set that includes the door, frame, hinges, and sometimes the doorknob and lockset.
In most cases, a prehung door is the better and easier option to install, especially for DIY projects or exterior applications, as they often come pre-weatherproofed. They require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. Although prehung doors are heavier and have a higher upfront cost, the investment is often worthwhile for a complete upgrade that includes a new frame.
A slab door may be a better choice if you are on a tight budget, have a custom-sized wall opening, or only need to replace the door while keeping the existing frame. While the initial cost is lower, you will need to purchase all the hardware separately and do more DIY work to hang it, which may not result in significant time or money savings.
Installing a dog door into an existing door is a quicker, easier project than installing one in a wall. Installing a pet door into a wall requires cutting through your home’s drywall, ensuring no pipes or wires are cut, and sealing the new opening so as not to compromise the safety and stability of your home’s walls, all of which may be a bigger project than many homeowners are looking to undertake.
You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.
