"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."

"Mike was the perfect person for the job! He was on time, personable, respectful & knew exactly how to hang my storm door. I would not hesitate to have him do another job for me. Thanks Mike!"
"Chad and Randy were the very best, Honest and knew what they were doing. Saved me a bundle of money by putting new decorated glass in my door and repairing to make my door look like new. I thought I would have to buy and install a new door. Chad said you don't have to spend all that money we can fix this door and it will look like new. God smiled down on me when I meet Chad. I would recommend them highly."

"If you need a handyman or contracting in general, call Sal. He and his crew are amazing. We had a lot of different type of work to do and we needed a company we can rely on for all. From the beginning, I could tell we were in great hands. We did demo, reconstruction, door replacement, plumbing and more. Sal was fair with pricing and held to all of his commitments. As with any renovations, we ran into a few pre-existing items that weren't immediately visible and not only did Sal not flinch, he was reasonable with pricing / timing. If you need something done and you need someone you trust, Sal is your person."
"Kip did an awesome job on my driveway about 5 years ago and still looks brand new. Also brought him in recently when he was in town to look at my garage door which was getting stuck when opening. He was quick and efficient and cost half the price compared to the manufacturer service provider. He's also very available via phone for any questions or troubleshooting concerns. With his knowledge and old school customer service skills, I highly recommend him as a handyman for any home project!"
"Justin did an amazing job! He was able to handle all the trim, baseboards, crown moulding, door hanging and vanity Installation I needed done! He gave me a fair quote, did great work, left my place clean and was overall really helpful! I will definitely keep his number for future work and would recommend him to others!"
"We were originally going to replace a door ($$$!) so we could add a pet door, but we talked it over with Patrick and ended up keeping our current door, doing a small separate door and getting a new set up steps and handrail. Much better decision for us and he got it done before Thanksgiving - the family raved about the steps and out pooch loves her private entrance."
The best place to install a dog door is on an exterior door that leads to a fenced-in area of your rear yard. This position will let your dog go in and out as they need and still keep them safe in your yard when they’re outside. You should plan on installing the bottom of the doggie door a minimum of 3 inches above the bottom of your exterior door to maintain the structural integrity of the door, and never cut out a hole within 3 inches of exterior door glass.
Barn doors do not always require a bottom track, especially if a high-quality top track is used to stabilize the door. However, a bottom track is often recommended to ensure the door operates smoothly, prevent it from scratching the floor, and keep it from pushing inward or outward, which could cause damage. A bottom track also keeps the door more secure and properly anchored. In some cases, an interior barn door can hang solely from a top track without a bottom guide. If you do install a bottom track, it should be placed six to eight inches from the floor and be at least twice as wide as the door.
Generally, hinged French patio doors are considered more secure than sliding glass doors. French doors typically feature a more robust, solid frame that can support multi-point locking systems and deadbolts, securing the door at several points and making them harder to break into. In contrast, sliding doors often rely on a single lock and operate on tracks, which can be a security vulnerability. While you can add security bars and other features to enhance a sliding door's security, a well-made French door is often more secure on its own. Ultimately, the overall security of any patio door depends on the quality of its materials, the locking hardware, and proper installation.
To maintain a door and prevent future issues, regularly clean it, check and lubricate the hinges and locks, inspect the hardware, and check the weatherstripping for signs of wear to prolong its lifespan and functionality.
Yes, you can add a screen door to most door frames. The screen should be able to fit standard-size door frames, so unless you have an unusually sized door, you shouldn’t have an issue. Just make sure to properly measure the frame. When in doubt, it’s best to let a pro take care of this task for you so it’s installed correctly.
