"Frank and his team do exquisite work. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship display the high standards of construction work the company is able to perform. For over two years Frank (and Steve) have more than delivered and in truly remarkable ways. Each project is a work of art: from the replacement of windows and doors to upgrading the porch, entryway, and the balcony to the repair of damaged stairs and downspouts to the complete remodeling of the basement, to name a few! He has transformed our house into something beautiful and extraordinary while mercifully keeping our budget in mind! From the outset, Frank listened and incorporated our desires. He gave helpful suggestions and executed them far better than we had proposed. We are very satisfied clients and recommend him highly for home improvement projects both big and small. Frank is a master when it comes to construction projects, honest, capable, and a fine gentleman, to boot! We cannot praise him enough!"

"The contractor came out the same day and not only fixed the screen door problem but did some additional work on the door and fixed the lock on another door for a nominal charge. He was polite, efficient and super knowledgeable. I was very very pleased."

Doors questions, answered by experts

The most common rough opening for a sliding glass door is 60 inches to 72 inches by 80 inches. A rough opening is the unframed space where your door will go.

There are certainly perks to hiring a general contractor, but we recommend a closet professional. The reason is that their pricing may make more sense for your project. General contractors tend to search out bigger projects, and because of this, will attach a premium to smaller amounts of work. A closet pro may also have access to a wider range of materials than general contractors (and may be able to negotiate better discounts). 

Security experts recommend deadbolt locks as the most secure option for a house's exterior or entry doors. Deadbolts provide the best security because they can prevent most types of forced entry and are harder to lockpick. Common types include the standard single-cylinder deadbolt, which is often found on front doors. For enhanced security, you can opt for a double-cylinder deadbolt, which requires a key to operate from both the inside and the outside.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

A slab door is a standalone door without a frame or hardware. A prehung door is a complete set that includes the door, frame, hinges, and sometimes the doorknob and lockset.

In most cases, a prehung door is the better and easier option to install, especially for DIY projects or exterior applications, as they often come pre-weatherproofed. They require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. Although prehung doors are heavier and have a higher upfront cost, the investment is often worthwhile for a complete upgrade that includes a new frame.

A slab door may be a better choice if you are on a tight budget, have a custom-sized wall opening, or only need to replace the door while keeping the existing frame. While the initial cost is lower, you will need to purchase all the hardware separately and do more DIY work to hang it, which may not result in significant time or money savings.
