"Recently we hired Ardmore to replace the glass in 2 of our skylights and install a new storm door. Other than rain delays the skylights were installed in less than 2 hours as Ardmore sent 2 crews for the installation. They even came inside to vacuum any debris that might have fallen into the house during the installation. (5 out of 5). The installation of the storm doors was different. It took over 10 hours for 2 men to finish the installation which I felt was excessive and felt they didn't do the installation correctly. The difference between a good company and a better company is how well they fix a problem and to this point they are doing a better job. When I called to complain the scheduler immediately suggested they send out someone to inspect the work and within 3 days someone came out and fixed 2 out of the 3 problems and said someone would be calling me and ordering a replacement part to fix the 3rd problem"

"Alex and his assistant brought life back to 40+ year old Pella doors. Saved us $4000+ instead of installing new. Lived too long with screeching stubborn doors. Very pleased! Now they just glide! Beyond our expectations!!! Thank you so much for the excellence service. Glad to leave an A+ feedback."

"We are happy with the end result. We know it was Opal's busy season but we hoped to get the door a little sooner. Although it was time consuming to have someone come to our home and measure twice, it was better in the end because our door was not a standard size as we had thought.We ended up needing a custom size door.  We had some problems but they were willing to listen to our feelings on some possible miscommunications. Everyone at Opal was very polite. On the day of the install,the crew was prompt,polite and cleaned up nicely.

"I was happy to find a local company who could replace the ropes in 2 of my windows. They also replaced a broken pane in one of my "French doors". They'll come later this year for 3 other things I need done -- replacing 2 basement windows and a screen door."

"Radek of RF Improvements did an absolutely beautiful job painting 6 interior rooms for us, including walls, doors, ceiling and trim. He is very knowledgeable about different types of paints and finishes, making excellent recommendations. He was always prompt and very efficient with his time, and worked through the holidays with a very flexible schedule to accommodate our needs. The cost was exactly as estimated, and highly competitive. I would highly recommend Radek and RF Improvements for any home painting needs!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

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 screen door needs at least two hinges, though most have three or four hinges. The amount of hinges depends on the weight and size of the door. The heavier your door, the more hinges it will need for support. Exterior doors, which are sturdier than interior doors, have the most hinges.

Solid-core, hollow-core, and panel doors offer options for various needs and budgets.

Spacing a door is tricky since you need to leave enough of a gap for the door to move freely and not get stuck when the slab and frame contract and expand in dry and humid conditions. The ideal gap between a doorframe and slab is 1/8 of an inch. If the gap is any larger, the door will feel drafty. But if the gap is any smaller, the slab can get stuck due to weather changes.

You can install many types of interior doors without a frame as long as the door is prehung or there is already an existing door in the opening. If the opening has never had a door installed, you will need to install a frame with the door. Consult a professional door installer to inspect the opening to determine whether or not it’s possible to place a door there without a frame.
