"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 built a brand new shed for me and it looks great! The neighbors have commented on how nice it looks. Jim was very responsive, dependable, and does high quality work. He is also willing to work with the owners to make sure the customer is satisfied with his work. A nice touch was installing a steel door with a lock-set and a window that opens with a screen. Would definitely hire him again."
"Jonathan, Joe and the entire crew did a fantastic job replacing our back porch and several other projects throughout the house. Communication was excellent addressing all of our questions and providing great input. They efficiently completed all the jobs and remained on budget. Quality is outstanding and we are very happy with the results. Highly recommended."
"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!"
With several years of experience, we work hard to bring each customer the best possible service and quality available. We look forward to working with you on your next project. We welcome your questions and thank you for your interest.

"Evolution Painting did a superb job on my house! I give them 10 stars! From start to finish, they were professional, reassuring of the extra work that needed to be done, cleaned up above and beyond, and the exterior paint job was glorious. Here is a quick rundown of their excellent work: - Douglass showed up on time and sent me the estimate the next day. - He amended the estimate per our discussions and immediately sent a new quote. - They showed up on time and in positive spirits. - They power-washed and covered all items appropriately. - They prepped and removed items I could not remove and replaced them afterward. - We ran into a big hiccup with extensive rot in the corner of my house. They demolished it, removed the rotten wood, cleaned the area, reframed the corner, and put in new siding, insulation, and exterior shingles outside and inside the room, not only inside the corner but two adjoining walls and ceiling. It looks like a new house. - They removed all the trash and took away this old AC that was built into the wall by a previous owner that caused much of the rot. - They painted the shutters, doors, and handrails down the front steps. - They were kind, professional, and highly skilled. The exterior paint looks fantastic. I could not say enough about Douglas, Fabricio, and their team!"
Fire doors are more expensive than your run-of-the-mill residential composite door because of additional materials and expanding sealants that help the door slow down or even prevent the spread of temperatures over 1,000 degrees. If you have homeowners insurance, talk to your company and see if installing fire doors can lower your premiums, especially if you can install steel doors.
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.
You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it’s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks.
The most common size for an interior door is 80 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. However, a standard interior door can measure anywhere from 24 to 36 inches wide, depending on its intended use and the available space. According to most building codes in the U.S., a door must be at least 80 inches tall and 24 inches wide.
Pocket and standard doors are similar in price, but pocket doors cost more to install than standard doors. Professionals usually charge around $150 to $200 to hang a standard door. But if you're installing a pocket door on an existing wall, you'll likely pay between $1,000 and $3,500.
