"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!

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!"
No, exterior doors don’t need to be prehung, although choosing a door that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn’t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it’s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they’re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.
Not every door can be converted into a pocket door. Pocket doors require specific hardware and a hollow space within the wall to slide into when open. The door must be sturdy enough to handle the sliding mechanism but not too heavy, as excessive weight can cause operation and track alignment issues. While some standard interior doors can be adapted for use as pocket doors with the right hardware, it's essential to ensure the door's compatibility and the structural feasibility of creating a pocket in the wall.
Most of the interior doors in your home are the same size. For example, most bedroom doors may be the same size. However, your closet doors might be the same size as each other but are a different size from the bedroom doors. You might also have bedroom closet doors that are a different size from hallway closet doors. It’s best to be safe and measure any door you want to replace.
Yes, but adding a deadbolt to some door materials, like steel, may make installation a little bit trickier. For these materials, you will want to hire a locksmith to do the work for you, but be aware that they may charge an additional fee of $25 to $50 or more.
This hack required some hand strength. First, bend the fork's tines. Next, slip the pointed ends into the door latch and close the door. Open the door to remove the fork and break off the fork's handle. Reinsert the fork's head into the door latch and close the door. Finally, slide the fork's handle through the tines, creating a horizontal barrier that prevents the door from opening inward.
