"I had this company replace my windows, siding, insultation and decking on my porch. They were on time and did an absolutely beautiful job. I got used to opening my front door and finding their crews working. They were here for about a week and I never even had to clean up after them. What a marvel! The young man that ran the siding crew(Carlos) was nothing but kind and nice to me no matter what stupid question I asked. I can't praise this company enough."

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."

"Joe and his crew did a major renovation on our master bathroom and a more minor update to our kids bathroom. Overall we were happy with the outcome, with some reservations that keep us from giving an A grade. The good: 1) Price and value were very good. We were happy with the extent of work done for the price paid, and all additions that came up in the course of the job were priced fairly. No complaints here. 2) Quality of the tiling and plumbing was good. 3) Joe and his crew were thoughtful. Since both upstairs bathrooms were being done at the same time, they ended up removing and reinstalling the hall bath toilet several times over the course of the work so that we would have an upstairs toilet to use in the evening. 4) Joe and his crew were easy to work with and friendly in all our dealings. The not-so-good: 1) Paint and drywall. It's fairly obvious where new or repaired drywall was needed in the master bath...just could have been a better job overall in drywall/painting. Also, wall paint was slopped numerous places onto door trim or other trim pieces; most of that was fixed at my request, but seems it should have been neater to begin with. Also, the spot behind the toilet tank in the hall bath was not painted despite my pointing it out 2 or 3 times; while it's not easily visible, it just isn't professional. 2) A mistake was made in installing the vanity in the kids bathroom; they failed to realize a 1" spacer was called for at the wall, resulting in an almost 2" overhang of the vanity top at the other end. I accepted it because fixing it would have required drilling new (additional) holes in the vanities for all the plumbing, which wasn't ideal either...I made the less bad of two bad choices. It's not terrible, but it's not right either. 3) General cleanup was rather poor. We regularly found nails and or screws on the floor at the end of the day, and several 2x4's with nails sticking out were left in my garage at the end of the job, along with numerous drawers from the original vanities which should have been removed."
On average, the cost to install or replace bifold doors ranges from $100 to $300, making them one of the most inexpensive interior door options. The final price depends on several factors, including the door's material and design, with hollow core and solid core doors being on the lower end of the cost spectrum. A local door installer will likely charge between $40 and $90 per hour. While a skilled DIYer may be able to install bifold doors, as most come with the necessary hardware, the doors can be heavy, and improper installation can lead to misalignment issues.
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 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.
Barn doors do not always require a bottom track, especially if a high-quality top track is used to stabilize the door. However, a bottom track is often recommended to ensure the door operates smoothly, prevent it from scratching the floor, and keep it from pushing inward or outward, which could cause damage. A bottom track also keeps the door more secure and properly anchored. In some cases, an interior barn door can hang solely from a top track without a bottom guide. If you do install a bottom track, it should be placed six to eight inches from the floor and be at least twice as wide as the door.
Standard door sizes aren’t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors—like your front door—36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you’ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. “Standard” only works if it matches what’s already in place.
