"We hired STL DIrect to replace windows and sliders in our home and we are so happy with the results. The quality of the windows and doors are excellent. From our Sales Rep Cheryl ,to the Installer Hannah and Project Manager Mike we received great customer service. I plan to contact STL Direct for any future home projects."
"I chose not to hire them because the quote was much, much more expensive than I ever imagined it would be and the estimate did not provide any details to be able to justify or explain the costs. They always answered my questions, but I just never received written documentation of what I would be paying for other than a 1 or 2 line statement. Ex:) I only need one piece of flashing replaced, and they quoted me for all 4 pieces surrounding the door. Those other 3 pieces aren't' damaged, so I just wanted to know why they felt all 4 pieces needed replaced-but I'm not going to waste my time chasing that info. It should have been provided in the 1st estimate since it was additional work. They also added a cost for a sliding bath seat that my grandmother said she never even asked for, and after I reviewed the specs I realized it's free standing and doesn't need to be installed. But, again, there was no detail provided to help me understand why this additional work was added to the estimate.

You will need to cut or break a boomstick so it is wider than the door and long enough to anchor outside the door frame. Extend the broomstick horizontally under the doorknob, ensuring it's snug. Now using long screws and a drill, anchor the broomstick to the wall outside the door frame. Remember that you won't be able to open the door afterward. Do not proceed with this hack if your home has no alternative exit.
Yes, solid-core doors can provide effective sound insulation for privacy-sensitive areas.
To choose the best door, start by pinpointing its most important job in your home, then choose the material and style based on that function. Simply put, there’s a world of difference between what an interior bedroom door and driveway-facing entryway door do for your home. Thinking about your door's purpose first, then its look and style, will help you make the right choice and stay on budget.
New door knobs likely won’t have much of an effect on property value, but they can improve your home’s curb appeal and interior decor, which might lead some buyers to offer more for your home. However, in terms of personal value, adding new door knobs can be a game changer. New door knobs not only function better than older ones in most cases, but they make your home secure, and there’s a lot to be said about the peace of mind a new exterior door knob can provide.
The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.
It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.
