"I just moved here 3 weeks ago.  Me and my 2 dogs.  Moved to Sandy Brae and there were a lot of "little" things to take care of.  Patsy, installed a storm door,  fixed my garage door from popping up, programmed another garage door remote, changed the fixture above my garage door as the one I inherited didn't work well.  He changed a light bulb.  Which you may think..can't you do that?  This was above a steep staircase with small stairs and it felt dangerous to me so he did it.  He also assembled a computer desk I bought.  There is a few more things that I can't remember now.  But what I like is that he took me to home depot and I paid for the materials at cost.  He basically just charged me for labor.  He was a lot of fun to deal with, seemed to know what he was doing, and I will use him again.

They were both skilled tradesmen, and we would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs work done on their residence. Our new French Doors will look great with our new deck.

"I liked that there was no nonsense. Their salesman was straightforward and the price was fair. We were also impressed with the installers. They installed all the windows in 1 day and they look great. I'm happy I chose them."

"Our new doors were installed as the final touch of the project. The installers Walt and Adam were especially professional, considerate & friendly while making very sure that everything was exactly right before they left the job. Would have this company do work for us again when a job needs to be done."

Doors questions, answered by experts

The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch  stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides—about 1/2 inch each—which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.

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.

The lifespan of your door depends on the door type, its wear and tear, and the weather conditions in your area. For instance, front doors last between 20 and 60 years, depending on the material. Garage doors, on the other hand, last between 15 and 30 years. Interior doors don’t get hit with the elements and can last between 20 and 50 years, if not more. 

While both sides of a front door should get painted for aesthetic reasons, you don’t have to do each side at the same time. As a matter of fact, you’ll probably want a different paint type and color for the interior section of the door than the exterior side. Consider each side of the door your personal canvas and make the paint match any nearby 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.
