I guess I will have to start all over again with another door company. I went by Puperra lumber in Gonzales, and they recommended Ascension Door, and was not at all surprised by my experience with Daryl Dispensire. Oh well, at least I didn't overpay for the services provided, but unfortunately my 2 week door install will end up being more like 3 months.

There were serious problems on all of the projects. Issues: - Every project took at least a full week longer than the estimated completion date. - Vanity: The backsplash to the vanity wasn't made of concrete, it was drywall faux painted to match. I discovered this about 6 months later when it started falling apart. - Shower: The grout in the shower has started pitting and falling out, in some areas it's gone entirely. Threads from the tile backing is poking out through the grout. The bathroom floor was damaged (looks like a metal can scratched the finish), and the workmanship can only be described as very poor - clear demarcation lines of the tiles, tiles are not level, some areas are sunk deeper into the wall in other areas bulge out. The glass partition was not installed flush with the tile nor was it caulked. Whenever I shower water runs out underneath the partition and in between the partition & wall. I was also advised that a door would not be necessary but unfortunately it is. I now need to install a door because the overspray is hitting the wood entry door & causing damage. - Electrical: Came home to QT cups and food wrappers on the counter, urine in the toilet, dirt/dust on every surface, and conduit/wire scraps/small parts in every room. Tools and work carts were left behind. Drywall repair was necessary due to running the wires (something I was advised of and expected). The repair job was badly done - the patched area was wavy and pitted. The patching in the dressing room was adequate. The worker did not use a vacuum when sanding and there was drywall dust EVERYWHERE. Problem resolution: Bath vanity: Callegari subcontracted this job out. To their credit, once they saw the backsplash was made of drywall they readily agreed to pay to have another backsplash made. Regardless, it was a hassle to get another contractor to pull it out and make another one. I did not have use of my bathroom sink for a week. Shower: When I had them come back and take a look at it they emailed me back and said 3 employees looked at it and they didn't see a problem. I had to take part of the day off to meet them - Evan Harding & Nick Callegari, owners of this business. I showed them areas of the shower where grout was was falling out or missing entirely. Their response was it wasn't a problem because there's backer board behind the tiles. They said they would send a person to patch the areas where it was falling out - unfortunately that's the entire shower. Not only will it look terrible, I seriously doubt the job would be done correctly. Callegari is refusing to reimburse for the shower. For $4,000 I now have a shower that leaks all over the floor, sheds grout, looks terrible and may be allowing water to get behind the tile. At this time the issue is not resolved and will very likely end in litigation. Electrical: I did not complain other than asking the owner to have the employee(s) remove their tools. Was simply grateful to have him gone.

He did call and let me know that they were not coming each day they weren't there. Don said that his crew would go through and check the existing walls to ensure they were secure and put screws in the ones that were loose. This was not done through out the whole house. I also had to fill tiny holes in the walls from the joint compound being thinned too much. I had to call a few times to get the \"finish\" guy back to the house to fix the problems that I found after they left. He did send him back and they most of the issues that I found in that one day. The other problems I fixed myself because it was too much of a hassle to get him back over there. Don's crew was very fast in their installation of the drywall and his finisher was thorough and very knowledgeable in his work. None of the workers spoke English, which made it difficult to relay information about what I wanted done while they were working (I was there in the afternoon to supervise the installation). I have used this company in the past and liked their work, this project was a lot more difficult than the last one though. I'm still satisfied with the job performed and would recommend him to anyone that needs a good drywaller."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/la/sulphur/complete-drywall-reviews-3905446.htm"},"position":8}]}

Security Doors questions, answered by experts
While sometimes used interchangeably, a screen door differs from a storm door. Screen doors are composed only of the frame and screen, whereas a storm door has more components. A storm door comes with a glass panel that can be installed instead of a screen to keep the air inside the home. A storm door offers more protection , but costs more than a screen door, so weigh the pros and cons to determine the best option for your needs.
Swapping out old patio doors for something new can boost your home’s value. Fresh doors make your home look more modern and polished, add tons of natural light, and create a smoother connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Buyers love features that make a home feel open, stylish, and efficient, especially when updated doors come with better energy efficiency and security. High-end options like French doors can also bump the appeal even more, making your home stand out in a competitive market.
No, you cannot install a door without a jamb. The jamb is where the hinges, strike plate, and trim are attached. A person could ostensibly attach the hinges to the door frame itself, but it would hamper the door from opening and closing like normal. Door jambs also provide crucial support for the door and security for exterior entryways.
Continuous hinges are some of the sturdiest hinges available, which makes sense, given that they provide support along the entire side of the door. These hinges are often used for heavy commercial doors, but are impractically expensive and unnecessary for residential use. Among the hinges commonly used in homes, the ball-bearing hinge is the strongest, and it reduces friction to help heavy doors open more smoothly.
An interior French door should last you anywhere between 30 and 50 years, while an exterior French door unit will last around 15 to 30 years on average. Exactly how long your French doors last depends on the quality of the materials you choose, with vinyl doors lasting far less time than fiberglass, metal, and clad-wood doors. Upgrading to shatterproof glass can also improve the lifespan of exterior French doors.
