"The whole service was great. The window replacement was a little slow because the installer had health problems. BUT, the installation was GREAT! It was about a week after the promised timeline. I contracted them to replace our siding because of a hail storm that damaged our aluminum siding. We opted to replace the siding with vinyl siding and it was a super installation. We also opted to replace our garage doors and openers. The contractors arrived at 5:30 pm and were finished at 7:30 pm. I was amazed. A great crew. All of the people involved were very professional. We will contract with them if we have projects in the future. Stan and Marilyn"
"I've known him for about 14 years and have used him for numerous handyman projects. He's just very very dependable. He will show up on time and he puts in a full days of work. I've called him out at night for a project before and he's come out right out from his bed! I'm picky and I don't just let anyone come to my house. I would recommend Ron's Handy Services."
"Gary and Brandon were great with their response, service and workmanship. This was a last minute call to Home Advisor and they hooked me up with multiple and qualified companies. Gary and Brandon came out on Christmas Eve to get the washer/dryer, microwave and ceiling fans installed. They also trimmed 3 doors so that they would close properly with the new carpet. Excellent and would highly recommend them."

"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
Plenty of building codes dictate what you must install in your home, but door sweeps are optional. However, they're a low-cost addition with many advantages. So, installing a sweep on all your exterior doors is in your best interest. You'll save money in the long run and stay more comfortable year-round.
If you want to let in plenty of sunlight while keeping your home well insulated, your best bet is a patio-style door with two doors with full-view windows, including one primary door and one secondary door behind it, such as a screen door or storm door. This two-door system will let in plenty of natural light while maximizing insulation.
Yes, solid-core doors can provide effective sound insulation for privacy-sensitive areas.
No, cellar doors are not all the same size, although they are standardized. Typical sizes are 4 feet or 6 feet wide. Keep in mind that if your cellar bulkhead is very old, it’s probably not standardized. Instances like that are when steel foundation plates can come in handy to ensure your new doors will fit.
The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.
There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.
Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.
