"I first met Jeff Moore of Capital Siding, Windows and Roofing in 2018.  It was time to reroof my 110+ year-old house (that has more hips and angles than a fashion show) and I wanted to do it right.  I took 5 bids (6 if you count the company that was a no-show) and ended up with a range of bids that varied by nearly $20,000.   Capital came in near the midpoint of the bids but it wasn't the price that sold me - it was the care they put into their bid and the feeling I got from Jeff and, later, his son Danny.  They included more detail than any of the other companies I considered and I spent quite a bit of time on the phone with Jeff over the course of a couple of weeks where he answered all of my questions and explained all of my options.  Jeff struck me right from the start as an earnest, straight-up guy who was giving me his best offer.  No posturing, no pressure, just a good offer and a good feeling. Undertaking a major project on my house, my biggest asset, was stressful.  I was worried about everything.  Is this a fair price?  Is this the right company?  Will the crew stay on schedule?  Will they damage the property with their equipment?  Do I have any idea what I am doing?  Ultimately, you have to make a decision and for me, that's usually going with a gut feeling.  My gut said Capital so I signed the contract. Once work got underway, Azael, Jeff's primary crew chief, was on site every day.  He's a great guy, easy to talk to, always with a smile and a laugh.  The crew did their work, cleaned up every day, and kept the materials organized.  Couldn't ask for more.  Jeff and Danny came out several times during the project and we spoke by phone regularly.  Calls were usually returned the same day and always by the next day.  Changes (like my decision to add gutter covers) were handled clearly and easily and there were no financial surprises at all.  They did an excellent job. If I could do it again, would I choose Capital?  Wellllll...yes.  In fact, I did!   In August of 2023, while I was out of town with my family, our house got walloped by the big hail storm that rolled through Minneapolis.  By the time we got home a week later, work had already started on 4 houses on my block.   My first call was to Capital and they came out a day later.  My beautiful roof and old siding had taken major damage.  Danny and one of the roofing crew walked every inch of my roof and took over 100 pictures.  The damage was significant but the integrity of the roof was intact.  Because of the severity of the storm, Jeff was booked until very late in the season so we decided to push it until the spring of 2024.  That turned out to be a good decision as I spent a good portion of the winter arguing with my insurance company.  Every time they sent an adjuster or someone to take pictures or get a materials sample, one of Jeff's team was present.  I finally got things sorted out with insurance, spring arrived, and Oscar, Capital's other crew chief who is just as approachable and friendly and great as Azael, came out with his guys and got going.  They did another beautiful job on the roof and the siding is just fantastic.  They did tons of hand-bent aluminum work to mimic the architectural detail my insurance wouldn't cover.  I think it looks better than it did originally.  My wife and I are completely happy with the work and love with the way our house looks now. Total satisfaction with two excellent jobs six years apart is no fluke. Capital is as solid as they come and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thanks again to Jeff, Danny, Mike, Azael, Oscar, and everyone at Capital. - Tim in Minneapolis"

If you are not feeling the love then you are not experiencing the Higgins way. It is our aim to be sensitive to how every aspect of a remodel project effects your life. We ask these questions of every project we are undertaking: • Is this project aligned with the homeowners long-term goals as it relates to real estate values, family size etc? • Is this project economically feasible? • How do we do this in a way that minimizes impact on the homeowners daily routine? • Is it feasible for us to meet all of the homeowners expectation at this price point? • Are we dealing with issues as they arise so the homeowner knows what we know? • When the project is completely done does the homeowner feel totally taken care of?

"Higgins is a great company that has outstanding craftsmen in their employ. I've hired them for two major remodeling jobs. I will do it again if the need arises. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and skillful. Call them. You won't be disappointed!"

Handyman (952) 200-8308 for fastest response contact me directly. I love tile, I have tools...a lot of tools. Let me put them to work for you. I finish that ever present "to do" list. Let me handle that home repair or replacement fast and efficiently. Some people think I perform magic, actually, I just make your list of problems "disappear." I have 25 plus years experience in home renovation and remodeling. There is is not much that I have not seen and solved. Did I mention that I love tile? I perform many pre house listing repairs as well as many post house sale inspection repairs required for closing. I offer the "have it your way" program. If all you want is a custom walk in tile shower, there will be no pressure on you to gut the whole bathroom and rebuild. Insured and now a designated Angie's List Super Service Award recipient.

"Scott was absolutely fantastic to work with. He reached out right away and always kept us updated. We gave him an extremely difficult swing structure to install and he figured it out as though he’d done it hundreds of times already. Would highly recommend working with Scott! Thank you so much again."

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock. 

A sliding glass door is an integral part of your home, and when a repair is needed, it can be tricky to diagnose what needs to be repaired by yourself (aside from broken glass, which may be easy to see). Some common repairs that are necessary for sliding glass doors include: 

  • Broken glass

  • Damaged door frame

  • Sliding panel replacement 

  • Roller replacement

  • Broken door knob or handle 

  • Damaged latches

  • Ripped screens

  • Bad seal

The debate on whether to repair or replace your door comes down to the extent of the damage and the cost of the repair. For example, if your door has a large hole it’s best to replace it with a new one, regardless of the type of door. If it’s a hardware issue, like locks or hinges, a repair is most likely going to be the best route. Speaking with a door repair specialist will help you decide which option is right for you and your budget.

First, maintain composure and avoid forcing it further. Inspect the key to see if enough material remains exposed for extraction. Use pliers or tweezers to grasp and gently pull out the broken piece if possible. Lubricate the keyhole with a graphite-based spray to aid removal. If self-removal proves challenging or risks damaging the lock, seek a professional locksmith's assistance. They possess the necessary tools and expertise to extract the key without causing damage.

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.
