Get matched with top door pros in Cherokee, NC

Q: What's the best exterior door for direct sunlight?

• <div><p>If you want to let in plenty of sunlight while keeping your home well insulated, your best bet is a patio-style door with two doors with full-view windows, including one primary door and one secondary door behind it, such as a screen door or storm door. This two-door system will let in plenty of natural light while maximizing insulation.</p></div>

Q: Is a threshold also known as a sill?

• <div><p>Sometimes, these two terms are used interchangeably, but they are separate <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/parts-of-a-door.htm">parts of a door</a>, and each serves a different function. The sill helps ensure the doorframe is secure, and the threshold helps protect the sill and direct water away from the door to prevent leaks.</p></div>

Q: How do you burglar-proof a doggie door?

• <div><p>Adding a doggie door can allow a burglar access to knobs and locks on your door. If your pet door doesn&rsquo;t come with an alarm, you can add a weight sensor alarm that will trip if anything heavier than your pet enters through it. Adding a motion sensor light to the room your pet door is in can also help deter burglars. </p></div>

Q: How much wider does a door frame need to be than the door?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How often should a front door be replaced?

• <div><p>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&mdash;especially when prepping your home for sale.</p></div>

"Mike and Crystal were very professional from the first phone contact through the completion of the work. They showed up on time, their work was neat and they worked very efficiently. My windows were in pretty bad shape. They really took their time and prepped them very well which showed in the finished product. When asked to redo or touch up anything it was done without question. In the end we received a very good paint job on a timely basis and at a competitive price. I have already recommended Mike's Painting to others in my neighborhood and would use him again for future painting needs.
