"When our home inspector found improper and potentially dangerous situation in our crawl space and attic, he recommended Eddie and his team and I'm glad he did.  These guys are great.  They showed up every day, on time, and stayed on the job until it was completed.  Our once creaky and shaky wood floors and now solid and our sagging roof now has the support it was lacking.  Eddie's guys were extremely professional and not only cleaned up their mess when they were done, but cleaned out the junk the previous owner had left under the house!!  We can see and feel the difference in our house and are grateful to Floors Sag or Shake for an excellent job!
**At the end of the job, I noticed a spot near our back door where the wood floor was sagging between two floor joists.  Even though this had nothing to do with the original job, Eddie offered to come back the following week to fix it for us at no cost!!  Now THAT'S someone who really cares about the people he does business for.  Thanks, Eddie!

"They did a good job and kept me in the loop through the entire job. They also provide pictures before, during and after the job was completed. I asked the renter did the company do a good job on repairing the floor in the bedroom and renter stated the company did a good job on the floor and the dryer. They even worked on the front door. I will be hiring them to do future work."

Doors questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

There aren’t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow.

Soft-close hinges are worth it if the benefits are a top priority. The biggest benefit of soft-close hinges is that they reduce stress on the cabinet frames, and extending the longevity of these pricey furnishings is a worthwhile investment. Plus, fixing noisy kitchen cabinets helps protect kids with careless fingers, reduces marks on the frames, and creates a quieter living space.

You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.
