"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

You can often fit a new door slab into an old frame as long as the frame’s in decent shape. The frame needs to be solid, square, and free of warping or rot. The new door has to match the old one in width, height, and thickness, and the hinge and knob placements need to line up or be adjusted carefully. However, if your frame is damaged, swapping just the door won’t cut it. In that case, replacing the entire unit would be the best move for a smooth, secure installation.

For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch.

Costs range from $500 to $5,000, depending on door type, security features, and labor.

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.

When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
