"My experience has been excellent! The windows and door are beautiful and very well installed. Brandon is amazing and was prompt, professional, and did a beautiful install. He and Brian cleaned up after themselves and left no mess. Everyone at the company has been helpful, professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. My salesman mark q beat the price of 4 other quotes. I would highly recommend the window depot!"
"Make sure you keep Matt’s contact information!!!. He is highly professional and easy to work with . I needed to have a door lock replaced and he did that. He also did some sheetrock repairs and it was absolutely perfect! He confirmed his appointment ahead of time and showed up on time. Highly professional and a nice guy. I have referred his contact information to my neighbors. Diane B. / Bradenton FL"
"They replaced 10 windows in my home, and did a great job. I wanted them to do my sliding glass door also. The measuring tech did not measure correctly and the door did not fit when it arrived. They worked with me to make it right. Rich Miller did everything he could to work with me. Everybody makes mistakes, but they tried to make it right."
"Went beyond my expectation to repair my cypress fence and add a partial new panel. My fence was leaning and about to fall due to a palm tree pushing on it. Other contractors wanted to remove palm, or brace from my neighbors yard or just told me to save my money and get a new fence which was thousands of dollars. The other contractors made it sound impossible unless I would let them do more work than necessary. Luxury paint came in, never hesitated to fix the problem at a reasonable cost. The fence was straightened, three new posts, landscape timber at bottom and they made V around the palm with my neighbor's permission. It looks great, is secure for my dog and they cleaned all debris. You would not know workers were here. I highly recommend them."
"The bedroom windows were done beautifully, with no complications. The front window was installed by a subcontractor, and initially did not pass inspection. There were not enough screws (or anchors) to meet current hurricane code. The FAS owner sent his own men to correct the error very quickly, which subsequently passed inspection. The workmen were very professional, polite, and did a beautiful job! FAS response to our needs was impressive."
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.
Permits are required when carrying out any structural work, so in most cases, you will need a building permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door. If you have specific questions about your project or need to obtain a permit, contact your municipal building department or ask your contractor for advice.
Plenty of building codes dictate what you must install in your home, but door sweeps are optional. However, they're a low-cost addition with many advantages. So, installing a sweep on all your exterior doors is in your best interest. You'll save money in the long run and stay more comfortable year-round.
You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.
Steel doors have a few primary disadvantages. They’re hard to customize since they can’t be cut to fit an opening; they’re cumbersome and thus difficult to install on your own; and they don’t have the same aesthetic appeal as wood doors. Finally, while they’re highly durable and secure, they are susceptible to dents, scratches, and rusting.
