I was very pleased with the services provided. It took more than one visit because I'd specified high security locks due to an ex-husband with locksmithing skills. They had to order some parts that were not in stock after surveying the work to be done.
The locksmith showed up in a clearly marked van and wearing a shirt and hat that had the company logo. He was friendly and good at explaining things.
On the first visit he saved me from being locked out and did a survey of the doors that needed lock changes so he could order the parts necessary for what I wanted.
The second visit he had all the parts he had ordered. He quickly took care of the primary entrance and mailbox locks. He was also able to quickly install the Charlie bar for the sliding glass door. He had to take the locks to the furnace doors and the lock for the slider back to his office to look up some kind of codes so that he could make them as secure as possible. He returned quickly and finished the doors to the furnace. However, the lock on the sliding glass door required complete replacement, apparently a previous owner had damaged the working parts. He didn't think he had the lock in stock. So I paid for the work done, and he left.
Just a short time later he called me and told me he DID have the entire mechanism in stock and if I were going to be there a few more minutes he could replace the sliding glass door lock and replace the broken handle. I waited, he came. He had that changed out and working in just a few minutes.
The things that I was impressed with were, 1. I could identify that he was who I'd called. 2. They were able to respond quickly to a lock out situation. 3. He was able to get all the parts and set me up with keys to everything even those things that I had not received keys for from the previous owner. 4. Everyone I spoke with on the phone spoke good English and communicated clearly and were able to set up appointments with no hassle. 5. He went the extra mile to check for the sliding door mechanism even though he thought he'd have to order it and then called me before I left to bring another load to move in.
If I ever need a locksmith I'll be calling this company again.

Both our floors and door look great. However, there were glitches along the way. To start with, the person from Moss who first came out to review the project and give us a quote told us that Moss doesn't use sub-contractors, which turned out not to be true. Both our door and flooring were installed by sub-contractors. The biggest issue was that the sub-contractor who installed our door was not familiar with the particular door we purchased (Therma-Tru - an expensive fiberglass door). He was unable to install the lock and, in fact, did not install it correctly and Moss had to take the lock to a locksmith to fix. As a result, we were without a lock on our entrance door for 5 days. Also, the sub-contractor didn't place the pads that make the door air-tight. We had to ask the door manufacturer for a service call to touch up some paint and that's how we found out the pads had not been installed. Additionally, the holes made from the nails in the frame are supposed to be filled with wood filler and touched up with paint provided by the door manufacturer -- that was only done after I contacted Moss and asked for this to be done. So what should have taken a day or two to be completed ended up requiring 5 visits from the sub-contractor. The floor, also done by a subcontractor, was generally fine, although twice I had to point out flaws with the work. That said, Moss (John Jenkins) was quick to deal with the sub-contractor and have these issues resolved with a follow-up visit. The end product is good - both the door is in securely (with a fixed lock) and the floor looks very nice (both the new and refinished floor). Had I known originally what I know now, I would have hired Lowes that sold us the door to install it becuase, as I found out, they are specially trained by the door manufacturer on how to properly install Therma-Tru doors. To be fair, both sets of sub-contractors were courteous and came through in the end. Also, John Jenkins from Moss was very responsive and stayed on top of things until the project was completed. I would likely use Moss again because of my good experience with John Jenkins, though I have some reservations.

"Kenny and team were amazing to work with - professional, polite, honest, and finished the project ahead of schedule and at a very fair price. We had two old single pane windows replaced in our basement (which may have been 50+ years old), and a new window well installed. The work was very well done. I have since recommended Clifton to multiple friends and other contractors. Five stars."

"We were looking to increase our attic insulation and met The Home Doctor Company at the Capital Remodel and Garden Show in February 2025 as well as some other companies. We consulted with several companies and decided to go with The Hone Doctor for our attic insulation. The company rep, Chris Lear, was very good explaining what they would do and why our attic needed R-38 insulation. I knew we needed more but did not realize our attic was only R-13. I have worked with numerous contractors before on projects and felt this was a really good company plus they have great reviews. The installation of the attic insulation went very well. They do install siding as well but decided to put this project off for now. Would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for security door installation projects in Herndon, VA
The average cost of a home security system is about $700, ranging from $280 to $1,150. Costs to consider include equipment, surveillance fees, and other additional features. Cost factors that determine your system’s price include the type of security system, materials, labor, activation fees, monthly fees, and permits.
Additional features and upgrades may include:
Video surveillance monitoring: $40–$65 per month
Smart home locks: $150
Smart home lighting: $15–$90
Smart smoke, fire, and carbon monoxide alarms: $35–$100
Smart thermostat: $130–$500
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.
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.
Yes, a home security system can be worth it for your peace of mind alone, but it can also save you up to 20% on your home insurance. The insurance savings will help defray the initial setup costs and subscription costs over time. Locations with higher crime rates also make home security systems a valuable investment, but it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and asset values.
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.
