The house needed major upgrades to meet code and it was done well and met final inspection. Mr. Miller did many additional pieces of work to improve the situation that went above and beyond estimated work. A fire wall was required in the basement for the garage and he finished both sides of the wall. Another example of above the effort was with the installation of the wall between the kitchen and living room. He heard me say that I did not like the open room concept because of noise and the house had a two-story entryway so sound can carry. He installed the wall and to lessen the noise added insulation to the wall to reduce sound between rooms. This wall also required an extension to meet the new kitchen design. His team installed all the kitchen cabinets and appliances and took care of issues regarding any damaged material. He added decorative headers in the hallway to define it, etc. Mr. Miller quickly learned the color scheme and I let him choose the tile for the back splash in the kitchen and for the tile around the fireplace. He handled overseeing the installation of a new gas fireplace in the house and coordinated the installation with the provider. He took on little things to make sure the house would stand against the elements. For example, there was a downspout that ended on the deck, Mr. Miller, made sure the spout drained through the deck and away from the house. He saw that a gutter needed to be replaced on the back of the house and did this work so the integrity of house could be maintained. Working with Norb Miller was very easy. The main thing about this renovation/remodeling job was that it was done from a distance and he guided me in what needed to be ordered and when. Periodically I would meet with Mr. Miller at the site to go over work and next steps, but I could confidently walk away and know the work would be done. We communicated by telephone and email. He really cares about his clients. For example, I needed to order two light fixtures for the kitchen. I found a style I liked, however, the store did not have two of the same, so I ordered my second choice. When I met with Norb, the lights were up in the kitchen and I just mentioned that I had originally picked some others, but could not figure out a way to get them since the pick-up store did not have two. When I saw pictures of the kitchen on Angie's List, I saw the lights had been changed to my first choice. Now that is above and beyond--but it is consideration and understanding of a client. He suggested storm doors for the house and I let him make the selection because I knew he would make a sound choice. He has a good understanding of his clients and is able to ascertain their likes, dislikes and does not offer solutions that are out of line, but are good and functional. Mr. Miller has been back to adjust items as we have found them that were part of the job and has done so to make sure the job was done right. We would definitely use Mr. Miller's company again.

Only points I would like to make which would have made it Perfect is:
Cleanup could have been a bit more detailed after the carpentry work. But it is minor. In addition. There was a bunch of copper wrapped around the outer edge under the roofing left from when the former gutters were cut off. I think that standard procedure on these old houses with copper should be to collect and protect it for the owner as it is like Gold in value to homeowner. However they did dig in the garbage to collect most of it for me. Imalsomhad to drive back to work 10 miles each way to get keys as I enter the house in the back through a keypad office and when I got home the back door was covered with plywood and piles of removed roof debris piled their. This made sense. But it would have nice nice to know about these little things as it went along. But regardless of those few minor things. I felt comfortable and confident in their concern for doing a good job and caring for t he little things. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM,,,,,
Thanks to Joe, Mike and ALL THE GUYS FOR A BEAUTIFUL JOB

FAQs for door service projects in Watkins Glen, NY
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
It’s usually better to repair damaged interior doors and replace damaged exterior doors, but it depends on the type and extent of the damage. Damage to interior doors won’t threaten your home’s security, so if a repair or partial replacement of only the door (not replacing the door frame) is possible, that route should save you some money. Damage to an exterior door can compromise your home’s security, so it’s often better to replace it entirely, especially if there’s frame damage. You can ask your door installer which course of action is best for your situation.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
If you’re replacing an interior door, it’s best to get the work done in the summer or winter, as door installation professionals are the least busy during these seasons and might charge lower labor costs based on the decreased demand. You can also potentially save money by hiring a professional to install your exterior door during these seasons, but most homeowners wait until the spring or fall so that the extreme temperatures don’t put added strain on their HVAC systems while the door is being added or replaced.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
