Hello I specialize in cabinets. I can custom build or semi custom build any cabinet in kitchen's bathrooms, or anywhere else needed. I have my own paint shop to custom paint cabinets or furniture. I also do remodels and many other things. I am willing to travel within 2 hours.
"Nice job...they had to chisel out some of the concrete to fit the door just right at the bottom..you would never know they were there..mixed cement and built up the area..looks good"
"I was highly impressed with the quality of work and the professionalism. Even though my garage door system is 23 years old, they did not pressure me to replace the whole system, as another garage door company had done before. I thought I got great value for my money. I will definitely use them for any maintenance/repair work in the future, and when it is time to replace the garage door system, Southern Garage Doors will get my business. "

"Ferguson Home Improvements did a fantastic job. All the work that needed to get done, was finished beyond my expectations. The workers were very friendly. The job took a little longer that expected, but Ferguson Home Improvements were not at fault, the weather played a major factor with the deck stain and door installation. At the time the work was getting done, we received a lot of rain and storms. All in all, I would highly recommend Ferguson Home Improvements. "
"Great father/son team, I could tell they were both very conscientious in their work. They paid attention to making all the details look good, not just rushing through. The interior door and window openings look good, and the kitchen looks beautiful too. They were really careful to keep the mud off stuff like the windows and appliances, which I appreciate, and they did a great job cleaning up. Nice people, easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend these guys! "
"I called and he said he could fit us in that day. I gave them our address and phone#. They found the house with no problem and arrived right on time. They were very neat and professional and cleaned up completely. The door I had purchased needed to be modified as the ladder was a little too long to fold out properly. They cut the bottom section and reattached it so it would fold out properly. They did a great job and you could not tell it had been modified. I am very pleased with the way the job was done. "
"It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It worked out well. It was pretty quick. I really didn't speak with them; they just got the work done and left, which was fine with me. They were pretty quick about it. They weren't there all day long and they were clean. They cleaned up the mess and put the dryer back when it was done because they had moved it away from the wall. They really didn't disrupt my house. I didn't compare their price; I assumed it was a cheaper rate because it was a promotion. They were on time and on schedule. They called me right back. They were not what I expected when they came to the door; they were different. I don't know if I would use them again; I think I would shop around and see what's out there."
You put shims between the three-sided frame to which the door hinges are attached and the framing of the rough wall opening. Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you install door trim, so don’t worry too much about the appearance.
Wood is by no means the only type of front door material on the market. You can also choose from several other options, including:
Aluminum: Low-maintenance and affordable, but lacks insulation
Fiberglass: Offers excellent insulation and durability for a decent price
Glass: Offers beauty but less security or insulation, and a higher price tag
Steel: One of the most economical options if you’re looking for affordability, low maintenance, high security levels, and a door that will last
Wrought iron: Attractive and secure, but costly and heavy
Spacing a door is tricky since you need to leave enough of a gap for the door to move freely and not get stuck when the slab and frame contract and expand in dry and humid conditions. The ideal gap between a doorframe and slab is 1/8 of an inch. If the gap is any larger, the door will feel drafty. But if the gap is any smaller, the slab can get stuck due to weather changes.
A fire door can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,350 to purchase and have installed. The cost comes from the price of the door, which can be anywhere from $400 to $900 or more, and the cost of labor, which should be contracted out considering that fire doors are a safety measure. Most contractors will take between two and four hours to install one door.
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.
