"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.

"Andrew was very knowledgeable, efficient, and timely. He showed up when he said he would and got things done professionally. He knew what he doing and did everything by himself. We had two closet doors widened and replaced with two bi-fold doors. He replaced a storm door, garage access door, and a garage window. Great job! Will call again and pass on his name."

"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

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.

If you don’t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They’re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, measure your door width and make sure the one you want is long enough. Most door sweeps are 36 inches long, and you can cut them down to size with a hacksaw.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

The strike plate, hinges, and handle are the parts of a door most prone to damage. These parts see the most frequent use, causing them to wear and twear faster than other parts of a door. If you’re experiencing door issues, check these three parts first to see if they need repairing or replacing.
