Q: Can you get doors cut to size?

• <div><p>Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.</p></div>

Q: How do I know which door sweep to buy?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They&rsquo;re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-measure-a-door.htm">measure your door width</a> 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. </p></div>

Q: How much wider does a door frame need to be than the door?

• <div><p>A door frame is typically 2 to 2.5 inches wider than the door. This additional space accommodates the door jamb and hinges and allows for necessary installation adjustments. For example, if the door is 30 inches wide, the rough opening should be 32 to 32.5 inches wide to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation.</p></div>

Q: What is a prehung door?

• <div><p>A prehung door is a door that comes ready to install, already mounted in its frame with hinges and stop molding included. Because everything is factory-aligned, installation is quicker, more precise, and convenient, as you don't need to drill or align the hinges yourself. This makes it a smart option if your current frame is damaged, uneven, or if you're working on a new build. Installation involves fitting the entire unit into the rough opening, shimming and leveling it, and then securing it. If you are replacing an existing prehung door, the process is even simpler, often just requiring you to swap the old unit for the new one and secure it with a few screws. Prehung doors typically cost only slightly more (around $20) than a door slab alone, making them an efficient choice.</p></div>

Q: What is the disadvantage of a doggie door?

• <div><p>While doggie doors are convenient for pet owners, they do offer a few drawbacks. For instance, they&rsquo;re small enough that unwanted critters could come into the house, such as raccoons, snakes, rats, and insects.</p><p>They&rsquo;re also large enough that small children can escape through them, which can be a serious concern to parents of young children.</p><p>Finally, doggie doors can make it difficult to regulate your home&rsquo;s temperature because they constantly let in hot or cold outside air.</p></div>

"Had problems showing up on time. Had to put on vinyl siding but struggled to get it right. Had to repaint inside wall 3 times, had to re-mud twice. Tried really hard to do a good job and kept coming back until I was satisfied. Brought 3 year old son to the job (mother was present but would have gotten more done without having to watch him). Very pleasant and eager to please but not sure of their experience level."

"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."
