"My front door has been wrong since we moved here two years ago. Now it closes and locks properly. And I loved that he didn’t try to talk us into getting a new door."
"I had an old external door that was broken. Bob replaced the door and did a great job around the broken concrete and dry wall. It was a small project but it went really well. I am happy with the new door."
"I contacted Precision for a quote on new Windows. Siding, an entry door and garage doors. They were very responsive and I had a price within 3 days. Overall the process went very smooth and the price was right. Everything turned out great. I would hire them again with no issue!"
"I had a great experience with HORIZON HOME IMPROVEMENTS. They repaired an issue with my door that wasn?t closing properly. Aleksandr was very responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with. The technician arrived on time, quickly figured out the problem, and made the necessary repairs. The door works perfectly now, and everything was left clean afterward. The pricing was fair, and the whole process was smooth. I would definitely recommend them for any home repairs!"
"Mr. Phalan took care of a tricky repair to an old style solid wood exterior door on a 2nd floor deck. The door was quite heavy and had several glass panels in it, too. Bob quickly rebuilt the busted hinge and had the old door working “better than new”, in about 30 minutes. Quick and clean job!"
"Mo built this custom shed door from scratch, stained it and installed it all in one day! He’s a great guy and gave me an awesome price. Looking forward to bringing him back for more projects and recommending him to my neighbors."
"Edian retrofitted my french door closet with folding doors which were needed to create space. It turned out a bigger job than I expected because standard new doors were too wide for the old opening. Edian offered several options for solving this problem; he considered cost, time, noise, and amount of dust/ debris generated. Ultimately, he replaced parts of the old door casing and installed new doors. I am thrilled with the result! Edian was attentive to details and I appreciate that he cleaned thoroughly at the end of the job. Would recommend and look forward to working with him again!"
"They did a fantastic job. I had to replace the glass on 3 patio doors where the seal had broken. They answered the phone on the first call, came out for an estimate within a couple days and completed the job on-time. I thought I was going to have to replace both entire patio doors, but they said the glass was in stock and could be done in a week. The doors look fantastic. Would definitely use them again."
Barn doors are in style due to the popularity of modern farmhouse and rustic interior designs. As with any trend, barn doors could fall out of popularity over time. That's why it's important to determine if you like the function and style of barn doors for your home. They can add character to a room and save on floor space, but aren’t right for everyone.
Your front door should only need replacing every 20 to 40 years, depending on the material and level of wear and tear. Sometimes a door will need replacing sooner due to extreme weather conditions, like a hurricane or storm. In other cases, you may want to upgrade your door to add some upgraded curb appeal—especially when prepping your home for sale.
The difference between a mortise latch and a tubular latch is how they're mounted. A mortise latch has a single integrated lock body. One long rectangular space is cut into the door to contain it. A single keyhole is used to unlock both the dead bolt and latch from the outside. A tubular latch is a standard setup with a dead bolt separate from the regular spring bolt latch.
Smart door locks are safe to use and are usually considered safer than traditional locks with keys. While all electronic devices can be hacked, that doesn’t happen nearly as frequently in real life as people may think. You can also invest in multiple locks of different types for enhanced security so you don’t rely solely on one smart lock.
French doors can either open inward or outward, but because hinges are the mechanism for opening and closing, a single set of French doors will not be able to do both. Most French doors only open outward onto a patio, deck, or porch, while some only open inward if the outdoor space is limited and can’t accommodate the open doors.
