Once my husband and I chose a door I contacted Jay to discuss same. He and I discussed the best style for our needs. I paid the required deposit and Jay advised that the door would be ready in 4-6 weeks. The door was ready within the time frame, delivered and installed perfectly! Would we use JW Calvert again? Yes indeed we would! My husband and myself are already discussing our next project! A security door and jalousie coverings for our front door! I love my new door!! Thanx so much Jay for a great product!!

The technician showed up at 5:00pm. He asked for proof of identification of ownership of the house. He recorded my driver's licenses, and began working on re-keying of my front and back door locks. The front and back door top locks had to be replaced at a cost of $60. Then, I decided to have the basement security storm door lock re-keyed. The extra cost was $20. So, the extra cost for the service was $80 plus the purchase of the $165 deal the total cost was $245. Finally, I was very pleased with the work of the technician and service provided, and I will be probably be purchasing another deal real soon.

On February 12th, we were told the doors would "be here in about 3 weeks." That would have been about two weeks past the contract deadline, but we appreciated the notice. On March 3rd, we were told to expect the doors to be installed Saturday, March 7th. Now that we had an official installation date, we made sure to be home that day. We waited all day. But no one contacted us that weekend regarding the installation. We emailed to ask for an update. A few days passed. On Wednesday, March 11th, WEACO told us a second date for the installation - they said they would come Saturday, March 14th. However, on March 14th, due to rain, they called and said the installation needed to be rescheduled. We understood, since the rain and cold weather that day could make it difficult. We were able to reschedule the installation to Friday, March 20th, so we adjusted out schedules and made sure to be home that day as well. Friday March 20th, came and went, and *again*, no one from WEACO contacted us. Another day spent at home waiting, without any notice regarding WEACO's nonappearance on a day we all agreed upon. Throughout this process, we tried to be patient, but, at this point, we were a *month* past the agreed contract deadline for the installation, and WEACO had *twice* been no-shows for scheduled installation days without any communication from the company. Incredibly frustrated at this point, I detailed these points in another email to WEACO. We told them we either needed the doors installed ASAP or we needed a full refund so we could go with another contractor. Apparently, that email finally got things moving, and two days later, Sunday, March 22nd, they came and installed the security storm doors. The actual installation only took about three hours. So, although we are very happy with the quality of the security storm doors, we experienced several frustrating communication breakdowns and delays from the company. Based on this experience, I doubt I would use them again, and I would not recommend them.

FAQs for security door installation projects in Parkville, 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.
