Q: How does professional installation enhance door security?

• <div><p>Proper installation ensures solid hinges and locks, maintaining home security.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material for door sills?

• <div><p>The best material for door sills depends on durability, aesthetics, and budget. Standard options include wood, metal, and stone. Wood offers a classic look but may require more maintenance. Metal sills, like aluminum or stainless steel, boast durability and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for modern designs. Stone sills, such as granite or marble, provide elegance and longevity but are more expensive. Ultimately, the choice depends on personal preference and practical considerations.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a door at the top of basement stairs?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need to have a door at the top of basement stairs, but having one is usually a good idea. Not only will the door block the view of the basement, which might serve as a play area or less appealing workout space, but it can also prevent children or pets from going downstairs, as well as accidental falls.</p></div>

Q: What kind of wood do you use to make a barn door?

• <div><p>You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.</p></div>

Q: Can you sand down a door to fit?

• <div><p>You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.</p></div>

We had Continental Siding replace our roof, siding, windows and guttering. We could not be happier with the completed job. Their crew was outstanding, and very professional. Delfino Perez was the foreman and very proud of the work his crew did.

Workers left all of their trash in the house, and did not clean up spills. There were paint drops on our hardwood floors, as well as large paint splotches in the shower. Granted, they came up fairly easy, but still this was very unprofessional. Additionally, they removed all mini blinds and...
