"It took about 6 hours to remove the old tub/shower unit, move the drain and install the new unit! The workers made sure our floors were protected as well as furniture. All the workers were very polite and kept us posted on each aspect of the installation. All our questions were addressed immediately. We couldn't be happier or more pleased with the entire process from the quote to the work that was done! High praise for our 3 installers - Austin Dameron, David Beccia and Sergio Angulo. Thank you so much for your hard work and professionalism!!!"

Storm Drain Installation questions, answered by experts
The benefits of a storm door include providing extra protection against severe weather, improving your home's insulation, and helping to keep pests out. They also add an extra layer of security to your entry door and can enhance your home's curb appeal.
Homes need solid construction to survive a hurricane, including these parts:
A secure foundation at the right elevation for your home’s flood threat level
Hurricane straps to secure your home’s foundation
Waterproof basement sealant or rubberized sheeting that directs water away from the foundation
A strong, well-attached roof that’s firmly secured to the framing
Shutters or roll-down window protectors that you can close outside to prevent broken windows
A garage door bracing system to keep high winds from caving in or tearing off the door
Deadbolts to keep your exterior doors in place against wind pressure and floodwater
There are a few ways to make your storm door less drafty. For example, if the bottom of your storm door is letting in air, you can lower the door sweep so there’s a smaller gap between your door and the floor. You can also install weatherstripping or apply caulk around the door frame.
If you’re replacing an interior door, it’s best to get the work done in the summer or winter, as door installation professionals are the least busy during these seasons and might charge lower labor costs based on the decreased demand. You can also potentially save money by hiring a professional to install your exterior door during these seasons, but most homeowners wait until the spring or fall so that the extreme temperatures don’t put added strain on their HVAC systems while the door is being added or replaced.
While sometimes used interchangeably, screen doors and storm doors have key differences. Screen doors are simple structures, typically composed of just a frame and a screen, designed to keep out bugs while allowing air circulation. In contrast, storm doors are heavier and more complex, built to protect your home's main entry door from weather and intruders. They usually feature an aluminum frame with interchangeable tempered glass and screen panels, allowing you to switch between ventilation and insulation. A storm door offers more protection and versatility but generally costs more than a basic screen door.
