Get matched with top door pros in Augusta, KY

Q: Can you add a screen door to any door frame?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a screen door to most door frames. The screen should be able to fit standard-size door frames, so unless you have an unusually sized door, you shouldn&rsquo;t have an issue. Just make sure to properly measure the frame. When in doubt, it&rsquo;s best to let a pro take care of this task for you so it&rsquo;s installed correctly.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate swing in or out?

• <div><p>Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.</p><p>There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door?

• <div><p>You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it&rsquo;s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you&rsquo;ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It&rsquo;s doable, but expect some trial and error because it&rsquo;s not a straight-swap situation.</p></div>

Q: What puts burglars off the most?

• <div><p>Burglars are kept away from would-be targets for a number of reasons, but of 400 incarcerated burglars interviewed, the most cited reason they&rsquo;d avoid a property is if there are people inside, followed by seeing officers nearby. Alarms, lights, and noises inside the house can also deter criminals from approaching.</p></div>

Q: Can you hire a general contractor for closet door installation?

• <div><p>There are certainly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-cons-hiring-general-contractor.htm">perks to hiring a general contractor</a>, but we recommend a closet professional. The reason is that their pricing may make more sense for your project. General contractors tend to search out bigger projects, and because of this, will attach a premium to smaller amounts of work. A closet pro may also have access to a wider range of materials than general contractors (and may be able to negotiate better discounts). </p></div>

"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."
