"When it was originally installed, there were problems with the door and they came back and were able to fix it by replacing a part of the door. We love the door."
"Carlos did an excellent job! He built a loft for my son's bedroom with a hatch entrance and ladder, and a 2nd rope entrance with 1-way door. The loft has lights installed and an extra level inside. He listened to my (and my son's) ideas and came up with a practical and wonderful design."

"Peter and Piper are true professionals who do fantastic work. I remodeled my entire townhouse, including the kitchen, bathrooms, floors, walls, railings, windows, and doors. I will be recommending them to all my friends and family. Thank you for changing my life, Simple Works!"
"Working with D&D Total Excavation (Daniel) was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They removed two old bathtubs and replaced with beautiful walk-in showers. From the initial consultation, they were very professional, attentive, and transparent about timelines and costs. They allowed me to choose the materials and design I wanted to fit my style and budget.
The team arrived on time every day and communicated clearly about progress. The finished work was outstanding—every tile was perfectly aligned, the glass doors fit seamlessly, and the fixtures were installed with precision. They even handled unexpected plumbing adjustments without making a fuss.
They didn’t just finish the job; they made sure everything was flawless before leaving. I really love the look of my bathrooms, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and courteous professionals."

You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You’ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it.
WD-40 can temporarily silence a squeaky door hinge, but it is not recommended as a long-term solution. While it is effective at breaking down rust and grime, it contains very little lubricant and evaporates quickly. Using WD-40 can also attract dirt and dust to the hinges, which may cause more wear and tear over time. For a more lasting fix, after cleaning the hinge, apply a true lubricant. Better options include silicone spray, white lithium grease, metal or plastic lubricants, or oil-based products like petroleum jelly.
You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it’s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks.
Your front door should only need replacing every 20 to 40 years, depending on the material and level of wear and tear. Sometimes a door will need replacing sooner due to extreme weather conditions, like a hurricane or storm. In other cases, you may want to upgrade your door to add some upgraded curb appeal—especially when prepping your home for sale.
