Customers say: Terrific value

"He did a great job and saved me $2000 from the other Quotes. He was also the only one that took the time to go up on the roof to check it out before he gave me the quote. I would rehire in the future. Also he charged me what he quoted me"

"Palmer Construction — Highly Recommend I called Brad at Palmer Construction about a roofing issue, and from the start he was thorough and professional. He came out to the house, took detailed notes, and gave me an extremely fair price. Once he and his crew got up on the roof, they discovered the damage wasn’t as extensive as originally thought, and instead of running up the bill, Brad was completely honest about it. He was transparent throughout the whole process, showed me everything, and walked me through exactly what needed to be done. Since then, he’s also handled several small projects around my house, and every time it’s the same story: reliable, detailed work done the right way. He really sets you up for success. I couldn’t be happier with Brad and his team, and I’d recommend Palmer Construction to anyone in need of quality, trustworthy work."

"I've had Brian do work for me 3 times now. On each occasion, I was extremely pleased with his service: dependable, punctual, efficiency, and trustworthiness. I left Brian the door combination so that he could get in even if I were not home. Can't say enough about his work ethic and honesty. You won't be disappointed."

Doors questions, answered by experts

You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You’ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it.

As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it’s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.

Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.

The best material depends on what’s more important to you: Cost? Durability? Looks? Steel cellar doors are tough, water-resistant, and heavy, while fiberglass or composite doors can give you the outdoor aesthetics you crave. Most people favor steel because of its strength against storms, but steel is also one of the more costly options.

Steel doors are among the most affordable options for your front door. Steel doors are worth the cost if you’re looking for a budget-friendly door that maximizes home security and energy efficiency. Plus, they can last up to 100 years, making them a high-quality and long-term investment.
