Installation was expertly done. From start to finish working with Shoreline Homer Services and Mr Swanson was an excellent experience."

They showed up on time, completed the project the same day, were able to move a 700 pound granite step, and did this all in heavy rain. I would highly recommend David and his Team.

Diego proactively reached out to schedule a visit to take some measurements, and he provided some useful advice on what kind or doors to buy. He was flexible when I had to reschedule our installation due to a delayed delivery. The installation itself went smoothly, and we are very happy with the results. Diego is friendly, polite, and does great work. We'll definitely reach out to Diego again for our next project."

He was communicative about scheduling, costs, timing and offers multiple solutions to tackle the problem. He also installed study closet shelves in 2 areas. We are definitely pleased with Phalan Construction and will be calling Bob again!"
"I hired Alexis Home Remodeling to replace a collapsed bay window with a simpler grid window, rebuild the surrounding wall, and replace a storm door. Edian also replaced the area's small ceiling at the last minute, which was not part of the original contract, and then put a first coat of primer on it for me as a courtesy, even though painting is usually not one of his services. Edian was very accommodating to me throughout, including taking care of my request for a change in the type of replacement window to be installed. He and his crew spent two days on the reconstruction and new window installation, and did a beautiful, professional job. It is a pleasure to see the results. The next time I need a contractor, I will call on them again."
A butterfly hinge—also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge—is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.
Yes, new steel doors add value to your home. They improve curb appeal, increase home security, and make your home more energy-efficient.

Residential exterior doors should swing inward. While this cuts into your living space and prevents you from putting furniture near the inside of your door, it also means that the hinges will only be accessible from the interior. Hinges that sit on the outside of your home leave your property far less secure, as someone looking to get in could simply unscrew them and remove your door. Additionally, inswing exterior doors will be operable even if you have snow or other obstructions outside.
Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.
Yes, basic dusting of doors, door hardware, and door glass is usually included when you hire a house cleaner to clean your home. A house cleaner may also vacuum door frames or clean tracks in sliding doors if these tasks are requested. However, house cleaners generally will not touch up scuffs or other markings on doors. Consider hiring someone who repairs doors to handle these issues for you instead.
