"This company had lots of excellent reviews but I have lived in S. Florida long enough to be cautious. I was pleasantly surprised at how prompt the owner was to give me an estimate and how quickly he scheduled my job. The crew showed up on time, did great work and cleaned up after themselves. I will use this company again for any door or window work and highly recommend them."
"East Coast Windows and Doors recently installed our and three neighbors’ hurricane windows. From the estimate to the installation, every aspect of our experience was professional and courteous. Thank you Rob, Carlos and Victor for helping us all feel safer during hurricane season."
"I recently had the pleasure of working with ASP SuperHome for the installation of new impact windows and doors in my home, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, the entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism. I would like to especially thank the salesperson Peter for his knowledge, commitment and timely response to issues throughout the project. He helped me select strong 9/16” windows with visible transmission of 60% (thus, the outside from inside looks bright) while the solar heat gain was limited to 32% (thus, the house is protected from excessive heat). The windows are rated for +90 and -90 pressure, which is well above the Miami Dade guidelines. The doors are strong and aesthetic. In summary, I received strong, hurricane protection doors and windows that also shield me from heat and noise, move smoothly, and are visually appealing. The quality installers at ASP, Yosyenny and Emilio, demonstrated exceptional skill and attention to detail. They worked diligently and efficiently, ensuring that each window and door was perfectly fitted and securely installed. Despite the extensive work, they maintained a neat and organized workspace, leaving no mess behind. Roy is also a capable installer. Thanks also to Michel and Sergio for project management, and to Emily, Luisa and JJ for the coordination. Overall, my experience with ASP was outstanding. Their commitment to providing high-quality service and their dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of window and door installation services."
"My project was a front door that needed quite a bit of repairs. Nahoom showed up on time, was very detailed as to how he would repair it and the materials involved, including matching paint. He did a superb job. The door is even better than before it was broken. The result exceeded my expectations."
"I found out my cabinets could be reinforced and covered inside and out side, along with new hardware. Fixing a cabinet door that needed to be screwed back to the frame was appreciated along with the quote from Anthony's Custom Cabinets Inc."
"I'm very PLEASED with ACE Window & Door, Jason was professional and reliable. The process was very smooth and they did an excellent job with the addâ l window that was needed. Not only did they work with us with our immediate needs, they also made sure that we were pleased with the finish job. We will definitely be customers for future projects. Thank you Jason at ACE Window & Door!!!"
"Urim is professional, prompt, courteous. He installed the door and frame to meet our expectations and did it timely. His prices are excellent. I would recommend him over and over again! In fact, we already have."
Most of the interior doors in your home are the same size. For example, most bedroom doors may be the same size. However, your closet doors might be the same size as each other but are a different size from the bedroom doors. You might also have bedroom closet doors that are a different size from hallway closet doors. It’s best to be safe and measure any door you want to replace.
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.
Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock.
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.
A front door lasts between 20 and 100 years, or an average of 30 years. How long it lasts depends on the type of material, the environment, and how well you maintain it. A door with coverage over it will last longer than one exposed to the elements. Using high-quality paint or sealants can also help extend the life of your front door. Wood front doors tend to have shorter lifespans than other materials.
