"From beginning to end the whole experience was amazing. They found financing for our project which made it so easy. Everyone involved was so awesome and letâ s talk about fast 2 1/2 days and in the snow. Even had to return on a Saturday morning to complete a little section that was not accessible due to snow.

Pressure washing, among other things, IS their business, and they had the equipment, chemicals, knowledge & a truckload of commercial equipment to get the job done right. Not only did I get my deck & my whole house washed, but Brian amazingly transformed my driveway, sidewalk & porch. They are reasonably priced - worth every dollar. I highly recommend them..."

Doors questions, answered by experts

There aren’t many problems with fire doors except that they slow down or cut off ventilation at the higher rating levels. For this reason, work with a professional to ensure you have adequate ventilation throughout your house or workspace. The sealing around a fire door is meant to allow for a specific amount of ventilation and will need regular inspections to ensure adequate airflow.

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.

You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it’s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you’ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It’s doable, but expect some trial and error because it’s not a straight-swap situation.

It’s certainly easier to paint a door while it’s still on its hinges, but you may get better results if you remove it from the hinges. Painting a door off the hinges allows you to work on it horizontally, making prep work easier, reducing drips, and allowing undisturbed drying time.

A prehung door is a door that already has hinges attached. These types of doors aren’t much more expensive than a non-hung door (around $20 more) and are extremely convenient for a number of reasons, chiefly that you don’t need to drill or align hinges. If you had a prehung door previously installed, you would simple swap the new door for the old one, and the most work you need to door is align the door and drill in a few screws.
