"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

While lock crunching as a whole is not terribly common, it is one of the most frequently used means of forced entry into a home. Recent data suggests that forced entry through lock crunching or snapping occurs in more than 25% of burglaries.

Yes, you should always change your locks after buying a house. Do so as soon as possible after you move in. Otherwise, you won’t know who has working keys to the property, whether they’re spare keys or otherwise. If an intruder gains access to your house with a key, it may not be covered under your homeowners insurance.

The cost-effectiveness of fixing or replacing a door lock depends on the severity of the issue. Repairing a minor problem, such as loose screws or a need for lubrication, is usually cheaper than replacing the entire lock. However, replacing the lock if it is severely damaged, outdated, or lacks security features may be a better long-term investment. New locks often have improved security features, enhancing your property's safety.

Lock bumping is a technique locksmiths use to quickly and quietly open a pin tumbler lock, typically found in most types of deadbolts. It involves inserting a specially crafted key, or bump key, into the lock and tapping or "bumping" it with a mallet or similar tool. The force applied causes the lock's pins to jump momentarily, allowing the lock to be turned and opened. Unfortunately, thieves also use this technique to break into homes. Luckily, products like a deadbolt strap will fortify your lock.

There are several situations when you should change or replace your locks to ensure your home's security. Key moments include moving into a new house, after a break-in or attempted break-in, or when a roommate or anyone else with a key moves out. It is also wise to change your locks if you lose your keys, especially if they have an address attached or you suspect they were stolen. Finally, if your locks are old, broken, worn out, or have become unreliable, they should be replaced.
