"Kassi scheduled our work very promptly and another staff member followed up on the details. Everything went smoothly on the day, and took less time than I expected. John was friendly and efficient -- taking care of business in short order. Replacing the light fixtures by our front door was a little tricky re: the cedar siding, but he effortlessly adapted the installation to the situation. Perfect! The old wooden post mailbox was rotted and barely standing...he took it all away, dug a deep new hole and installed the steel post, using quick setting concrete, and fitted the new mailbox. He even scalped some sod to leave on top... When John was finished, you would have thought the mailbox had always been there. I plan on calling on Mr. Handyman, and John, in the future."
"Excellent from start to finish. Complete renovation of kitchen/dining room, removing a wall, new exterior doors and windows, siding, etc. Extremely happy with the craftmanship of the finished product, but also the communication and process along the way. Dave and Marvin don't rush around frantically to jump to the next project. They work calmly and methodically, taking the time to explain things, answer questions, and give recommendations along the way. Very responsive and kept us informed every step of the way. Everyone who visits is blown away with the transformation."
"I had a few things that I wanted done it all started with one bedroom window, five new window shutters and a front door shutter. The house being 41 years old needed a face lift. I also had them repair the front doorstep / sill. Family company that has a great crew and was able to complete everything in one day, I couldn't have been happier with the results and my wife is very happy to have all these repairs done. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future for other repairs"
" Don is a thorough professional - he arrived at the agreed upon time, reviewed the work, offered several suggestions, setup time expectations, set about his work, and finished up without much intervention. When he started his work, he setup drop-cloths and also cleaned up before he left.
For installing the bi-fold doors, he rightly suggested opening up the packaging and measuring them for the door frame. The clearance in the door frame was a bit tight and he informed me upfront that would lead the doors to not close fully. I appreciated this honesty.
Overall I am very happy with Don's work and would strongly recommend him."
"Excellent pricing and willing to negotiate. John arrived on time in a snow storm and quickly went through the house and provided estimates on all products under consideration. He did an excellent job assisting with our selection of materials and set up job."
"Great work! They fixed a rotted door frame and a damaged window sill. The work was clean and solid, and the price was fair. They also replaced a few missing shingles at no extra cost. You’ll get someone who shows up, does the job right, and helps you avoid future problems. I will be using them again - highly recommend."
French doors can either open inward or outward, but because hinges are the mechanism for opening and closing, a single set of French doors will not be able to do both. Most French doors only open outward onto a patio, deck, or porch, while some only open inward if the outdoor space is limited and can’t accommodate the open doors.
Fire doors are constructed to have certain resistance levels regarding fire. A traditional door can typically resist fire for less than one minute, whereas fire doors can resist it for 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the fire door rating. Fire doors give you and your family a better chance of safely escaping during a fire than standard doors.
A butterfly hinge—also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge—is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.
Steel doors last the longest, sometimes upwards of 100 years. Fiberglass comes in second, with a lifespan of 70 years. Wood doors have the lowest lifespan, with some wood types only last 20 to 40 years.
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.
