"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

Using a combination of tools (often store-bought plumbing tools) and brute force, a burglar can easily snap the lock on a door. Snapping a lock aims to gain access to the cylinder inside, which holds the locking mechanism. Once the thief snaps the lock, they can pick the cylinder open and walk right in.

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

If you’re having an issue turning the key inside a lock, chances are there is dust or dirt buildup within the cylinder. The easiest solution is applying a dry lubricant to the lock, which loosens the dirt buildup. You may need to turn the key a few times for it to work properly again.

The cost to hire a locksmith varies depending on the service you need. Consult your locksmith about the price of your requested services before hiring for your repair or installation. Some of the most common types of locksmith services include:

  • Installing deadbolts: $40–$75

  • Rekeying: $80–$160

  • Unlocking your house: $65–$180

  • Changing locks: $50–$200

  • Installing electronic locks: $50–$500

  • Installing smart locks: $200–$800

  • Keyless locks: $50–$300

A keypad deadbolt, a lock requiring a code entered on a keypad entry, can be a convenient option for families with children coming in and out and needing access to the home. It can also offer an easy solution if you rent your home out, since you can easily change the code as needed. So, depending on your home entry’s needs, a keypad deadbolt may be worth the extra expense.
