"Scott did a great job. He communicated well and kept me updated. I pushed out actually ordering and having the door installed a few months with everything going on and he accommodated and had no issue getting the door I wanted with a quick email saying I was ready. I would definitely recommend him and will be using him again soon to replace our front door."

"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!"

"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."

"Received three quotes to replace an exterior kitchen door. Loweâ s at $3k plus cost of door, HomeDepot $7500 plus door, and Cransten $600 plus cost of door. I purchased an off the shelf door for $450 and Cransten did a terrific job installing. Installer Bradley Evans provided excellent communication and a pro install job. I will hire Cransten again."

"Joseph Donabella was the handyman that came and fixed my front door. I have not been able to use my deadbolt for years. Joe took the door off and refit it properly so I can now use my deadbolt again. My door knob lock was also sticking. After he checked it he said I needed to replace the door knob due to its age and suggested I go to a hardware store so I can get the new knob and get it rekeyed to my current key. He was very pleasant and professional. I would work with him again."

"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."

Doors questions, answered by experts

To build a standard size, six-panel door yourself, you’ll need four 2-foot by 6-foot boards, one 2-foot by 8-foot or 2-foot by 10-foot board, and a sheet of 3/4-inch, paint-grade plywood. The 2-foot by 6-foot boards will serve as your stiles, top rail, and horizontal and vertical mullions, and the wider board will serve as the bottom rail, which is usually wider than the other horizontal pieces. The plywood will serve as the panels, but you’ll need around five 1-foot by 6-foot boards to make your own panels if you want to stain the door rather than paint it.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.

A door frame is not the same as a door casing. A door frame is the framework surrounding the entire door that supports the area from which the door hangs. The frame is made up of multiple parts, including the door jamb, head, and sill.

Casing refers to the trim work located around the door frame. It connects the door frame to the wall with decorative trim.

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.
