"Ean was responsive and receptive to all our requests throughout the entire shower remodel process. His work is excellent and pricing was very reasonable for the shower door install. We plan on using Ean again for a possible outdoor grill redo."
"Leo and his team did a great job on our new deck. Very professional and accessible (always responded immediately to calls and emails). Used creative ideas and worked with my ideas also. Much appreciated. Would definitely hire them again for any future projects."
"Milo, the HVAC technician who serviced our Furnace and cleaned and serviced our gas fireplace, was extremely professional, personable, on time and did and outstanding job. The price was reasonable as well. Great job, Air Plus! Milo is truly a professional."
"Lazer Construction did an amazing job fixing our roof. They were very timely, paid great attention to detail and all for a great price. I would highly recommend them!"
"Northwest Home Repair responded immediately when contacted about a water leak that I couldn't locate, but could hear. Two technicians worked to finally locate the leak (unfortunately it was in the crawl space under my house) and a third plumber made the repair. I was informed up front of all costs. The repair was completed within 5-6 hours of my call even though the responding plumbers were almost 60 miles from my location on Whidbey Island. I HIGHLY recommend Northwest Home Repair Solutions...they are five star professionals! Kit McCartney"
You can install many types of interior doors without a frame as long as the door is prehung or there is already an existing door in the opening. If the opening has never had a door installed, you will need to install a frame with the door. Consult a professional door installer to inspect the opening to determine whether or not it’s possible to place a door there without a frame.
A door sill is the bottom portion of your door frame, while a threshold is the transition piece that separates the two types of flooring between rooms, or serves as the transition between the interior and exterior on an exterior door. The threshold sits on top of the door sill. A kick plate is a protective plate that sits against the face of a door to prevent damage to the door from feet and shoes. You’ll usually only find kick plates on exterior doors, while every door has a door sill, and most exterior and interior doors have a threshold.
Residential exterior doors should swing inward. While this cuts into your living space and prevents you from putting furniture near the inside of your door, it also means that the hinges will only be accessible from the interior. Hinges that sit on the outside of your home leave your property far less secure, as someone looking to get in could simply unscrew them and remove your door. Additionally, inswing exterior doors will be operable even if you have snow or other obstructions outside.
A door swells up when there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Wood doors are porous, and the elements can cause them to expand with humidity and contract with dry air. Prevent swelling by coating the door in weather-resistant paint, which creates a barrier to seal out moisture. Otherwise, go with a water-repellent finish after the fact. On the plus side, this problem will go away once the weather changes.
You have several options when choosing the best lumber for your door jamb. Pine is the most common material due to its resistance to swelling. Fir is strong and durable. You could also go with birch or alder. Any wood with a tight grain will work for this project.
