"After interviewing various contractors, I went with STL Design and Build as I felt they would provide excellent customer service. I was not disappointed. Not only did they do fantastic work, but I was also met with polite and professional workers and was given invaluable advice as to what would work best in our home. STL Design and Build did our kitchen remodel, replaced the flooring in our family room with beautiful hardwood, and created an additional laundry room for us on our second floor. I am ecstatic with the results. The next project they will be doing for us is the bathroom in the master bedroom. I know we will be in good hands :)"

"I typically don't hire people off a door knock. But I'm glad I did this time. Everyone was so nice, considerate and helpful. We had a new slider door installed where there was once a French door. I love it. The installation was fast and professional. It looks like door was a part of the original build on the house."

Doors FAQs, answered by experts

Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

Steel doors last the longest, sometimes upwards of 100 years. Fiberglass comes in second, with a lifespan of 70 years. Wood doors have the lowest lifespan, with some wood types only last 20 to 40 years.

The lock block will either be built-in on the side of the door or run from the top to the bottom. Usually, there is a marking that indicates its location. You can also tap the door with the back of a screwdriver to find the lock block like you would find a stud in a wall.

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.
