"JBA Home - Jeff and Jerry did an excellent job replacing my sliding glass door with a French door. They were on-time, skilled, professional, caring, careful, and good communicators. All in all, a quality product for a very reasonable cost. From the initial call to the completed job, it was a pleasure working with Jeff and Jerry."
"Arrived on time. Trouble shot the problem, found the problem, fixed it. My motion sensor needed to be re mounted after siding crew removed it. It wasn’t getting any juice. Works great now. He also attached the door bell button and replaced the chime box. He will be back to fix a span of my fence in the future."
"I highly recommend Alan. Not only did he do an excellent job of installing my new, unfinished slab mahogany 3/4 lite exterior door between my kitchen and dining room and installing my clear crystal glass interior mortise door knob on the door, but he also did an excellent job of staining and clear coating the door. I am so happy and pleased with the beautiful results! I was very fortunate that Alan has the skills and experience to complete my door project. Some of the companies that I called only install doors. I am grateful that I didnâ t have to hire 2 different people- one to install the door, one to stain the door. Alanâ s carpentry, craftsmanship and staining skills are outstanding. He pays attention to detail and puts a lot of care in his work. On Friday, 5/10/19, I originally made an online appointment to see Alan on Monday, 5/13/19. However, on Friday, 5/10/19, when I tried to call Alan, I was so lucky to reach him and he was able to come out right away to look at my door! I was so happy that Alan was able to install my door on the following Wednesday, 5/15/19! Before installing the door, Alan placed the door on a table on the sidewalk in front of my house. He sanded and planed the door at that location so that there would be no wood dust in the house. He carefully measured and checked before installing the door, the door knob, mortise lock and hinges. After Alan installed the door, he cleaned the sidewalk and inside work area. At a later date, Alan returned to remove the door and he took it with him to stain. First, he removed the door hardware and left that in the house. After Alan was finished applying 1 coat of Old Masters Oil Based Wood Conditioner Clear 50104 and 5 coats of Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane Water Based Interior Crystal Clear Satin, sanding between coats with 150-160 fine grit sandpaper and wiping the dust off the door, he arranged a convenient time to return to re-install the door and door hardware. Alan is very pleasant, helpful, accommodating, approachable, trustworthy and easy to work with. As a senior with a limited budget, I really appreciated that Alan was willing to work with me to meet my budget. Also, he graciously helped me by filling in 2 holes in my wood floor where the new door was installed. It was truly a pleasure meeting Alan. I will hire him again for future carpentry projects and I will definitely recommend him to family and friends. Alan, many thanks for a job well done!"

"We hired Dale to replace our front exterior door and repair the door jam. Our home was built in 1910 and needless to say it needed A LOT of love put into it. Dale completely transformed the front door. The door is now sealed all the way around, closes perfect and looks brand new! I canâ t believe he was able to make the door jam look like that after the shape it was in. He was efficient, had great communication and was very reasonable. Highly recommend, I donâ t think thereâ s a better door man. Will definitely be calling him again for all our future door needs!"
"Charlie was in constant communication over different aspects of multiple projectsts. He replaced an outside sliding door and did major wall repair in a bathroom. He did a fantastic job and I will be utilizing his services in the future."
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.
Using force to open a door is not recommended, as this could cause serious injury or permanent damage to your door and surrounding door frame. If it’s a front door that you’ve lost the keys for, it’s better to call a locksmith. If it’s an interior door without any lock that you plan on keeping, a handyman can help. Finally, if it’s an old door that you plan to replace anyway, a professional door installer can remove the stuck door and source a replacement.
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.
Wood is by no means the only type of front door material on the market. You can also choose from several other options, including:
Aluminum: Low-maintenance and affordable, but lacks insulation
Fiberglass: Offers excellent insulation and durability for a decent price
Glass: Offers beauty but less security or insulation, and a higher price tag
Steel: One of the most economical options if you’re looking for affordability, low maintenance, high security levels, and a door that will last
Wrought iron: Attractive and secure, but costly and heavy
New door knobs likely won’t have much of an effect on property value, but they can improve your home’s curb appeal and interior decor, which might lead some buyers to offer more for your home. However, in terms of personal value, adding new door knobs can be a game changer. New door knobs not only function better than older ones in most cases, but they make your home secure, and there’s a lot to be said about the peace of mind a new exterior door knob can provide.
