"They had to come out five times for the installation of two doors. I think they bit off more than they could chew. I specified upfront that I lived in a mobile home. There was a guy that worked for them that said he know what he was doing. He got out here and he didn't. They had to experiment how to get the door level. They would get it to halfway work, and then leave. They hoped that I wouldn't notice stuff. I would really have a hard time hiring these guys again. I actually did try to hire them again, but they don't want to talk to me because they overpriced me. I called them to get another job done, and they went way, way over what the price should've been. They screwed up and they don't want to do anything anymore because they are mad at me because I didn't call them back. I wanted it done correctly. I did have another job done and that saved them. They are a little bit pricey. Once they got the doors correct, they did a good job. They were just a little inexperienced with mobile homes. It seemed like they did an awful lot of moving and tugging to get it to fit. In the end, it turned out okay. I don't know if they ordered the wrong kind of door or what caused it. The door wouldn't seal and I could see light coming into the door in the evening. I got them to come seal it tight. He told me that he has doors in his house that weren't sealed tight. I told them that I wasn't going to pay $900 a door if the doors wouldn't fit. He made me pretty angry. They sent out the manager and he got the job done. They did get it finished eventually. The end result was an "A". They did take care of me when I called back, and had somebody out the next day. They could've been a bad company and told me where to go. A bad company would've just done nothing. They tried to make it right as best they could. The only thing I didn't like was that they lost money on the first job that wasn't my fault and they were going to overcharge me for the second job to make it up. Management was professional, but the employee that works for them was a real complainer."

"Rick was polite and professional, we got along great. He got the work done in no time. I was very very happy. Great pricing too. I will definitely be hiring RIck for future projects."
This is the Island Home side entrance that we built.  There was no side entrance or door there in the beginning. The house was a drab gray and the wood was rotten.  We replaced the entire back wall of the house, the downstairs bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room, and created a sitting room, where this entrance is. Built a deck on as well, that was later painted blue.
This is one photo of the completed remodel.  This is flooring, painting, tiling, and commode and sink install.
This is the completed project with the owners decor. This view is from the entrance door to the enlarged shower.
This is the completed project for the bathroom remodel.
This is the kitchen completed on the sink side, where the refrigerator and new sink, counter tops, cabinets and appliances are located, along with the tiled wall, backsplash and the installation of the bamboo flooring.

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

Lock picking is a relatively subtle method of unauthorized access, making it hard to detect. But there are telltale signs to look for. First, look for scratches or tool marks around the keyhole or the lock's surface. Also, check for loose or misaligned components, like a wonky strike plate, which could indicate tampering. Consulting a locksmith or security professional for an assessment can provide valuable insights, too. Investing in high-quality locks and considering additional security measures, like security cameras, can help deter potential intruders and enhance your overall safety.

Several types of deadbolts are available, including single-cylinder, double-cylinder, rim, smart, and electronic deadbolt locks. The most common type found in U.S. homes is the single-cylinder deadbolt, which uses a key on the exterior and a thumb turn on the interior. A double-cylinder deadbolt features two locking mechanisms and requires a key to be operated from both the inside and the outside.

One of the best tools for removing a stripped bolt is a handy pair of locking pliers. Locking pliers can usually grip onto screws with a broken, rounded, or stripped head and lock in place so that you can loosen even the most stubborn bolt that would otherwise remain hopelessly jammed.

If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.

Yes. Most deadbolts purchased from a home improvement store include a step-by-step installation template that is easy to follow, even for novice DIYers. One of the most important steps for successful deadbolt installation is having the proper tools to start with and carefully measuring prior to any attempts at installation.
