"Scott was wonderful and we are so happy that we found him! He was very punctual, neat, reliable, and communicative. He did great work and we are so pleased with the results of each project that he did for us. He takes pride in his work and his craftsmanship is excellent. He is very skilled and professional. We had him add on French doors to our home office and they look so seamless that you can't tell that they were added on. He also helped us in the kitchen by installing a fume hood that can vent outside as well as a decorative cabinet surround. He showed up on time each day, put down covers to protect our floors or counters, and cleaned up before leaving each day. We would highly recommend Scott and we will definitely reach out to him for any future projects."

"Fantastic Patio Door Installation by Speaks! I recently had Speaks Window Installation install a new exterior patio door, and I am beyond satisfied with the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final touches, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The team was incredibly knowledgeable, helping me choose the perfect door to match both the aesthetic and functionality I was looking for. The installation itself was quick and seamless. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to every detail. They made sure everything was perfectly aligned and sealed properly, ensuring both security and energy efficiency. The quality of the door is fantastic, and it has already transformed the look of my patio area. What really impressed me was their dedication to customer satisfaction. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I was completely happy with the result before wrapping up. I couldnâ t be more pleased with my new patio door and would highly recommend Speaks Window Installation for any exterior door or window project!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

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.

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 vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.

Standard door sizes aren’t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors—like your front door—36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you’ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. “Standard” only works if it matches what’s already in place.

French doors that open to exterior spaces are often installed to swing inward, as this makes them more secure than outward-swinging doors, due to the interior hinges being inaccessible from the outside. For interior doors, it’s personal preference which direction to hang your doors, but it’s common to have them open into the larger of the two spaces they’re separating.
