"I have an older home build in the 70's and still had the original single pane windows and sliding doors. I called four places around town to get quotes and to see how much it would cost me. Universal Solutions Windows & Doors was by far the best quote as well as the best product. They were very knowledgeable in windows and doors, and they didn’t try and to put a fast one over me. They explained everything to me in respects on how windows and doors can drastically change how your home functions and operates. I also had a two story home with burglar bars, and they didn’t try ripping me off by adding other fees like other companies tried to with removal of bars and two story hazard fees. They were very honest and I am very happy with the work they did. I have already noticed about $100 - $150 decrease in my monthly power bill compared to last year. Totally worth the investment for comfort and savings."
Originally from Australia, I’ve spent years working in the building and maintenance industry across four different countries. That experience has given me a broad skillset and a strong work ethic. Now settled in Las Vegas, I’m excited to bring that experience to the local community—helping homeowners with everything from small fixes to projects that need a bit of extra care.
"Very prompt and professional. He addressed the immediate problem with the wiring and quickly figured out why the door was not closing properly. He also tightened the cable and applied grease so that it opens and closes smoother than ever. All along he explained what was going on, which was very helpful. Great service at a great price!"
"He was excellent! I actually watched him work. He took one look at the door and found the several problems with both the door and the lock and knob. He then methodically, efficiently and quickly solved each. For a very fair price. He was also friendly, personable and fun to talk to. He was able to explain the problems and how to avoid them in the future. He also had good advice and resources to share about locks and doors. As others have said in their reviews, he did more than expected."
"I had an emergency. The garage door bracket by the tension bar had broke free and the door would not open. I called Foothills Garage Door and within thirty minutes on a Saturday afternoon he was at my house and working. He took one look, figured out what was needed and went to work. The gentleman who did the work was very friendly, knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him to anybody. "
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Home Improvements Enterprises, LLC, a Windows and Door Company, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! Owned and operated by Robert Abrego, Sr., this family-run business truly prioritizes customer satisfaction and quality. From the start, I was impressed with their range of products. They offer an impressive selection of windows and doors at very affordable prices, and their warranty options provide peace of mind that’s hard to beat. It's clear that they stand behind what they sell. The installation team, Victor and Jaime, were outstanding. Their professionalism and expertise shone through in every aspect of the job. They arrived punctually and immediately got to work, demonstrating not only skill but also a strong sense of teamwork. It was clear they communicated well with each other, which made the installation process run smoothly and efficiently. One aspect I particularly appreciated was how tidy they kept the work area. They took care to minimize disruption and clean up thoroughly after the job was done, leaving my home looking great. Overall, if you’re looking for high-quality home improvements, excellent products, and a team that truly cares about their work, Home Improvements Enterprises is the way to go.! Thank you, Robert, Victor, and Jaime, for making this experience so positive!"
Most of the time, the direction your door swings does matter. Your door’s swing is also called its handing, and it determines how your door opens. The layout of your home probably only gives your door enough room to hang and swing in one direction. On the other hand, it might not matter if your door can open freely in either direction without inconveniencing you and your household.
Installing a dog door is generally a straightforward process that handy DIYers may feel comfortable attempting on their own. Because the process usually involves cutting a hole in your existing door or wall, some homeowners may prefer to hire a handyperson who has experience with this type of installation to ensure the job is done right.
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.
Installing a dog door into an existing door is a quicker, easier project than installing one in a wall. Installing a pet door into a wall requires cutting through your home’s drywall, ensuring no pipes or wires are cut, and sealing the new opening so as not to compromise the safety and stability of your home’s walls, all of which may be a bigger project than many homeowners are looking to undertake.
A front door lasts between 20 and 100 years, or an average of 30 years. How long it lasts depends on the type of material, the environment, and how well you maintain it. A door with coverage over it will last longer than one exposed to the elements. Using high-quality paint or sealants can also help extend the life of your front door. Wood front doors tend to have shorter lifespans than other materials.
