"Replaced an old drafty door with a new Sliding Door. All the drafts are gone now and the amount of light coming into the dining room is amazing.

"A&L Exteriors sided and painted the exterior of my elderly parent’s home. They we’re very communicative and fair on their price. They got the job done fast and well. I will definitely be hiring them in the future for all my exterior needs"
"It went great. The installation required some thought on how to make the Chewy model work with the style of latch on our patio door. Roy figured it out quickly and made a quick trip to Ace for the material he needed. The results were an airtight fit that looks great. Roy was great with our dogs which tend to get overexcited around visitors."
"John Mosby the owner of Reliable Garage Doors was awesome. Extremely helpful and serviced my door when he was told by Choice Home Warranty they would not cover my request. He could have just said sorry and left."
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 hollow core door has an average life expectancy of about 20 to 40 years, with most lasting 30 years before they need to be replaced. Doors that are well cared for can last on the longer end, as long as no severe damage occurs.
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.
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.
Most bedroom doors are 30, 32, or 36 inches wide and about 80 inches tall, depending on the size of the room, the height of the ceiling, and any special accommodations that may be necessary for the bedroom’s occupant. The size of your bedroom door may be larger than average if it leads into a very large bedroom or a home with unique wall or ceiling features.
