"Jacked up the porch, framed and installed 3 doors, built stairs. This was all done to fit the architecture of a house built in 1880. Very professional and knowledgeable regarding repairs to an old house. Would definitely hire again. Highly recommended."

"I liked that there was no nonsense. Their salesman was straightforward and the price was fair. We were also impressed with the installers. They installed all the windows in 1 day and they look great. I'm happy I chose them."

"He did a great job, very professional - put up curtain rod, wall remote holders and waterproof sealed around a counter top and back splash in my kitchen. He was very neat with the sealing work, so you can't see at all where it was applied. I will definitely hire again."

From sales to installation, the process was exceptionally smoothly and everything happened as was originally scheduled and promised. Communication was excellent, advice from the estimator was spot-on, the quality of the doors even better than what we expected and the installation was EXPERT. The doors look fabulous, work perfectly, and the installer did a much better job than what we could have done ourselves. We are so glad that we decided to outsource this service and we highly recommend this company.

"Excellent service having my garage ceiling drywalled. They arrived when they said they were going to and were super about cleaning up after the job. Every step was thoroughly explained, including why they chose the materials they did. They had 2 other businesses come in to handle a couple of things. They explained why they did that and still came in under the estimated cost for the job. I am very pleased and will definitely not hesitate to hire them in the future."

Doors questions, answered by experts

If you have a sticky door in the summer, the culprit is likely humidity. Humidity can cause wooden doors to swell due to the high moisture levels in the air. A quick fix is to open doors throughout your home to improve air circulation and lower the moisture in your air. A longer-term solution is to use dehumidifiers and ceiling fans.

The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch  stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides—about 1/2 inch each—which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.

Interior door thresholds are usually attached using finish nails, and some contractors will also use construction adhesive under the threshold to hold it in place. Exterior door thresholds are more commonly screwed to prevent them from pulling up when people step on the raised edge on the outside of the door. Exterior doors also include caulk sealant on the inside to prevent water and air from seeping through.

A door frame is typically 2 to 2.5 inches wider than the door. This additional space accommodates the door jamb and hinges and allows for necessary installation adjustments. For example, if the door is 30 inches wide, the rough opening should be 32 to 32.5 inches wide to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation.

A screen door needs at least two hinges, though most have three or four hinges. The amount of hinges depends on the weight and size of the door. The heavier your door, the more hinges it will need for support. Exterior doors, which are sturdier than interior doors, have the most hinges.
