"John Mills, the owner, was prompt in his response to my inquiry. He visited my house and provided me with options and suggestion. He quoted the job promptly as well. The Venture crew showed up as expected. Bob's crew was very professional and organized. They were respectful of my property and protected the work area as much as possible. The sliding door and windows quality and installation workmanship are exceptional. After the job was completed, they cleaned the work areas of any debris and extra material. The addition of these Venture products makes my home as beautiful and livable as I had envisioned it would be. Thanks, Venture."
"Cold air was leaking in under the doors of our 19th century front door threshold. Mr. Phalan devised a way to seal the leaky areas without marring the solid wood doors. 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!"

Jim was a consumate professional and completed the job in a timely manner (1 day ). The price was good and he had always been in contact with me before he was about to start."
"Had the Collazo crew come out to custom make and install shelving in a tight space in my bathroom. It came out better then I could have imagined. They really outside themselves. Definitely will be calling them back for my next project."
"The crew did a great job, prompt (if not early), hard working, and cleaned up nicely every day. Although communication was a bit difficult, we persevered with an interpreter program on our phones. The windows are beautiful, and the new front door is awesome. Everything is installed properly and works great!"

"We hire them to paint the house which needed painting. Last done about 15 years earlier. There was a lot of of carpentry that also needed to be done. We got about eight estimates ranging from very low to ridiculously high. They came in in the middle. We were very impressed with their professionalism, punctuality and thoroughness. Evelyn, who was their lead, came and went over everything in detail. She stayed in contact with us throughout the entire project. When there was something that they had not anticipated during their initial evaluation, she contacted us and worked out a plan. They were very prompt. They started at 7:30 and ended 7:30 in the evening. This despite an incredibly hot week. The house looks fantastic. Would highly recommend."
"Patrick and team worked on an interior painting project to paint doors, trims, walls and ceiling. They did an awesome job. Patrick was very detail oriented and ensured all steps are followed in the process to get the best out come with clean looking finish. They were very independent and moved the stuff around where needed and kept the work going. Very happy with their work and would hire again or refer to friends and family."

If your patio door is worn and outdated, replacing it could be well worth the money—especially if you plan to sell your home anytime soon. An updated patio door will catch the eye of potential buyers, while a dingy one with peeling paint will likely be off-putting. A new patio door can also improve your home’s security, lower energy costs, and decrease the noise from outside. Ultimately, your choice will come down to the current state of your patio door and your replacement budget.
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.
You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.
