"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"

"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

If you’re installing a pocket door into an existing door opening, the new space will need to be twice the width of the existing door, plus an inch. You'll need to double that number if you’re adding dual pocket doors.

While spring and summer’s temperate weather can make the project more pleasant and give you more daytime hours to start and complete it, there’s otherwise no advantage to framing a door in spring or summer versus fall and winter.

Interior and exterior door openings are typically 80 inches high, with openings 29¼ inches wide for interior doors and 35 inches wide for exterior doors. If your couch is smaller than these measurements, it should fit through the door frame.

The average fiberglass door that you purchase from your local door company or home improvement store will last around 20 to 40 years, so fiberglass doors are considered durable compared to other door materials. When properly maintained, it's not unheard of for a fiberglass door to last up to 80 years.

You should prime interior doors before painting for the best results. If you do paint directly on the wood, you could see some of the grain patterns show through the paint, in which case you’d need to apply additional coats. Priming the surface before painting will reduce the number of coats and can better cover the grain pattern for a clean, finished look.
