"When we were shopping for a roof, we knew we wanted metal, but we were afraid the cost would be too prohibitive. We needed someone to educate us on the benefits of metal, and to explain how we were getting more for our money than we would with asphalt shingles. We also wanted to see what the metal roofing material looked like up close. Weather Guard was the only metal roofing company we found that had an actual showroom, so we went there one Friday afternoon. We spent a couple of hours with one of the owners in the showroom learning about the different types of metal roofs (prior to this we didn't know there was anything other than rib panels) and looking at pictures of the roofs of homes and businesses they had done. Despite the fact it was a Friday afternoon, a time when you may think they would have been eager for us to leave (especially since we made it clear we were not ready to purchase), we did not feel rushed or pressured. When we got home from the showroom we read the reviews of this company on Angie's List. We were quite surprised, frankly, because the experience we'd just had did not match the negative experiences others wrote about on this site. We discussed the pros and cons, and spoke with a friend in the building industry to get his input. This was a huge purchase for us and we had many concerns, not the least of which was cost. We came up with a price that we needed in order to proceed with metal, and we decided to see if Weather Guard could meet that price. The same gentlemen who'd shown us around the showroom came out the next weekend. The roof was measured and we decided which materials we wanted to use. We were told that they actually had some shake in the color that we wanted in the warehouse, so that would not need to be ordered. The price we were quoted was the actual price, and not an estimate. We liked that because it meant there were no hidden costs lurking at the end of the project. We decided to use Weather Guard because the price was, we thought, very reasonable for what we were getting, and it was a little less expensive than we'd anticipated. They did arrange financing for us, but we opted to use our bank instead. There was no problem with this whatsoever. They started the job a couple of weeks after that. They worked quickly and the job would have been completed within two days had they not run out of the shake material, the same material they said they had in their warehouse. Apparently there was not enough to complete our job. It had to be ordered and it took a couple of weeks more before they had it and could finish the job. Had it been rainy we would have been a lot more aggravated about this than we were, but the weather was good and we didn't need to worry about leaks. One of the things Weather Guard takes pride in is their clean up, but we would have to give them a "C" in this area. We were picking up nails out of our driveway for weeks after the job was complete, and we've found pieces of plastic in the bushes closest to the house. The largest piece of debris we found was a board approximately two feet long that had fallen into one of the bushes; to be fair, it was not clearly visible and we only found it when we were pruning the bushes. I would definitely recommend Weather Guard to anyone in the market for a metal roof. The individuals we dealt with were professional and respectful. The metal roof is more expensive than a traditional asphalt shingle roof, but for us, the benefits of metal (long lasting, sturdy, attractive) made it the right decision."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Solid wood is a durable and attractive option for cabinet doors that holds up well against a small amount of moisture. However, solid wood doors will expand and contract, meaning upkeep will be necessary if painted. Particleboard with veneer cabinet doors are cost-effective and can be attractive. MDF cabinet doors offer excellent and predictable workability features. However, both of those options are vulnerable to damage if water finds its way through the veneer or paint finish. 

You can use any wood to make an interior door, provided it’s the right thickness. Common options for painted doors include pine or poplar for the stiles, rails, and mullions, and paint-grade plywood for the panels. You can also opt to make your own panels out of pine or poplar if you intend on staining the door instead. Opting for oak, maple, or another hardwood is another great option for a high-end door that will last for decades, but the wood will cost significantly more.

You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it’s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Leaving vents open but closing doors in unused rooms will probably not save money on your energy bill. Closed doors prevent the natural flow of air throughout the home, which could reduce the efficiency of the overall HVAC system. They could also restrict airflow into and through the return vents, making the HVAC system less efficient.
