Q: How do you determine if a door is a fire door?

• <div><p>Start by checking the top or side edge of the door. Look for a certification label or metal tag stamped with details like the fire rating and information on the manufacturer. Even if it&rsquo;s painted over, the tag should still be visible. Next, look along the edges for slim intumescent strips. They&rsquo;re designed to swell up and seal gaps when exposed to heat. Finally, check if the door closes itself. Most fire doors have a self-closing mechanism, like an overhead closer or spring hinges. If none of these are obvious, contact a fire safety professional to help verify your door. </p></div>

Q: Which is more energy efficient: sliding or French doors?

• <div><p>French doors can seal better, so a good quality, well-insulated French door will be more energy efficient than the best insulated sliding door. That&rsquo;s because there&rsquo;s no way to totally seal a sliding door and still allow it to slide past the jamb effectively.</p></div>

Q: How do you install a door jammer?

• <div><p>Door jammers are designed for easy installation and portability. You can use them at home or while traveling if you&rsquo;re looking for added security. Slide the foot under the door, then turn the bolt to tighten until it is fitted to the door. Look for options with a padded, adjustable foot to fit tricky door edges and avoid damage.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a slab door and a prehung door, and which is better to install?

• <div><p>A slab door is a standalone door without a frame or hardware. A prehung door is a complete set that includes the door, frame, hinges, and sometimes the doorknob and lockset.</p><p>In most cases, a prehung door is the better and easier option to install, especially for DIY projects or exterior applications, as they often come pre-weatherproofed. They require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. Although prehung doors are heavier and have a higher upfront cost, the investment is often worthwhile for a complete upgrade that includes a new frame.</p><p>A slab door may be a better choice if you are on a tight budget, have a custom-sized wall opening, or only need to replace the door while keeping the existing frame. While the initial cost is lower, you will need to purchase all the hardware separately and do more DIY work to hang it, which may not result in significant time or money savings.</p></div>

Q: Can a storm door be used as a regular door?

• <div><p>No, a storm door should not replace a regular door. It lacks the durability, insulation, and security of a proper exterior door. Most storm doors have lightweight frames and minimal locking hardware, and they aren&rsquo;t meant to stand alone. While they work well as a backup to your main entry door, relying on one as your only barrier would likely lead to drafts, higher energy bills, and safety concerns.</p></div>

Returned my call four days after I called him, then showed up days later unannounced. My tenant was out of the house, so she did not answer the door. He never showed up again. Very bad communication skills. Would not do business again.

It was a difficult job to remove my ancient garage door opener and the inaccessible way it was installed. The installer took it in stride, removed all of the old equipment and installed the new one with little difficulty. Even helped me remote program my vehicle. Great job!

"Dave from Green Valley came right on time and was very personable. He checked out my roof and gave me some suggestions of what I should watch out for. He did not charge anything for doing this which was great! I am used to companies charging for absolutely everything they do. Very refreshing and I will definitely be calling them again when I need them. I now plan on also having them install a storm door for me too!"

"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."

David was great to work with. He and his team are professional and did a great job with the painting (I had one of the walls painted stripes). He did a great job on the entrance door which wasn?t easy to paint/refinish. He had to do multiple coats before it looked good. He put in a few extra hours to get all the painting work right.

He is zealous and focused on customer satisfaction. Quality of work is his priority. He was prompt in responding to text messages. Overall, I had a satisfying experience and will not hesitate to hire him again.
