We needed help right away, and the company came right away, even though we are in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, they are in Alexandria, VA, and it was a Sunday afternoon. They boarded up the window nice and securely to keep our house secure. We had an unusual request for replacement -- plexiglass rather than regular door glass, to make it less likely to break again. They were fine with getting me a quote and did, and were very accommodating about the time they scheduled to come back to install it. In every way they were easy to work with, and friendly, and they even swept our deck with a broom before they left even though the deck only had leaves on it, not anything requiring cleanup because of their work. They left the inside of our house clean as well. The firm does window restoration and replacement, sash cord replacements, store front repairs and show enclosures.

The previous installer would not return to fix the faulty installation without charging additional service fees. We contacted Angie's List and obtained a list of other providers to find someone else to repair our garage door opener. We did not want to give more money to a company that would not stand by its original work. We contacted J. W. Rodgers Garage Door and explained our dilemma. The railing was hanging and our car was inside of the garage! The lady who answered the phone was friendly and immediately offered to try to help us. She contacted a service representative who arrived within a couple of hours, assessed the job and completed the repair within 45 minutes. He may have also helped us to avoid a future problem because he noticed that reinforcement had not been attached to the garage door as it should have been and repaired it, too.

However, we were pleased to get the Angie's members discount. The installation appeared to be completed without problems. The unit works well and was very quiet for a couple of months. After about 2 1/2 months, the railing that was attached to the wall above the garage door pulled completely out. The bolts that had been supporting the railing fell to the floor. I immediately called Precision Garage Doors and informed then of the problem. They indicated that the warranty on the labor was only covered for 30 days and stated that there would be a service charge of approximately $50 to come out to evaluate the problem. I explained that the problem was that the bolts had not been screwed into a stud but had only been secured into the drywall when they did the initial installation and protested that this was faulty installation. There is nothing wrong with the garage door opener. The company rep stated that the warranty had expired and that there would still be a service charge.

FAQs for security door installation projects in Jarrettsville, MD
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
