"As the writer of this review I wonder how I might convince you how you can trust the high quality of work done by Installers Now. I am not benefiting in any way from this review except that I feel good about maybe saving somebody some home improvement troubles, and maybe increasing business for Installers Now who absolutely deserve it. Here is one big point you can hang your hat on. There always is an owner of installers now doing the work or directly supervising. They do not sell a job and have some underpaid employee do the work. Then to evaluate some tricky problems, a second owner will analyze and evaluate the situation for the best possible solution. After 30 years of home ownership we experienced some poor home improvement work. In those instances it seems the workers are fairly well-intentioned but apparently were poorly informed about the best way to do things. To do the great job that Installers Now do, it takes an engineering understanding and detailed knowledge of materials, how they need to be applied, and keeping up to date with state of the art techniques and products. This is all what Installers Now does in spades. Then there is even more. Sometimes highly qualified technical people are poor communicators, but that is not at all the case with Installers Now. They explain problems and proposals with engineering position and complete clarity. And further yet, they are personable and friendly and honest in their business handling administration. Whatever you might need to have Installers Now do for you, I would highly recommend getting on their schedule. Good luck!"

"I hired JDC Contracting for a full kitchen remodel, along with small updates throughout my house (new lighting, replacement of interior doors, a new ceiling in the basement, bathroom updates, and numerous other things). John did nearly all of the work himself. He did a wonderful job and our house looks fabulous! I can't say enough about JDC. John is skillful, completely accountable, and fair and honest in pricing. Hiring JDC is a a collaborative project from start to finish. He took the time to hear our ideas, provide sound, practical input, and put together a good, workable plan. After discussing things (every step along the way), John turned what we wanted into reality. He's also kind and a pleasure to work with. I really enjoy interacting with him. I had received estimates from two other kitchen contractors. John was the third contractor that provided one. He really impressed me with his attention to detail, his knowledge, his demeanor, and his being up front about process, pricing, and so on. He left a great impression, so I hired him in late November. John transformed the small, enclosed kitchen into an open concept kitchen that's bright, spacious, and inviting. This was the first time that my wife and I were involved in a major remodel. In December, we were so happy with how the kitchen project was going that we asked John to do additional work on the house. We wanted to squeeze in some more work at our house before he got too busy with other customers' projects. The additional work included the door replacements, as well as partial updates of the bathrooms and basement. He is an HVAC expert, so he also gave great advice on how to maintain and extend the life of our older HVAC system and other mechanicals. His advice is saving us a lot of money. John does such terrific, fairly priced work, we would totally have gone with JDC for full updates of the bathrooms and basement, but we didn't have the finances. So we decided to go forward with partial updates that really changed the 2 bathrooms and basement, while allowing us to stay within our budget. We're grateful to John for these secondary projects--and his ideas for them--because they have given us a lot more living space, and have made the bathrooms much more pleasant to use. We recently purchased the home in Oct. 2022 and we initially had a 3-5 year timeline for improving the kitchen, bathrooms, and basements. But John shortened this timeline down to a 2-month time frame (around 35 days of actual work--there were a couple of delays on materials that slowed us down). We moved in a week ago and are loving it! In sum, I strongly recommend JDC for home improvement projects. John is highly skilled and has integrity and tons of expertise and experience. Most important, he genuinely enjoys making his customers happy by improving their homes. He went the extra mile for us and has definitely made my family and me happy!"

"Jarrett was wonderful to work with. He kept to his word and on what he was going to do and kept to the price. He gave us ideas and design suggestions on the decks (2) decks. The contractor we had hired when starting the project left with no warning in the middle if it and Jarrett graciously fixed the other contractors poor workmanship to bring it to code and basically had to rebuild decks from the beginning. He did a large basement remodel for my son which turned out beautiful. My son was trying to get some furniture in thru the basement window which had to be removed and replaced. We couldnâ  t get the window out. It was a weekend and he cam eout ion his time right away. We called him for advice initially but he just came out. We have projects we definitely will. be using him for. He also painted some dormers on our very tall house and did an excellent job. Our local painter with 5 stars refused to do it-so wonâ  t ever call that guy again. You will not be disappointed hiring him."

"Worked with Jordon and he did or coordinated taking measurements, getting the custom-sized doors made, mortised, stained, and hung, and then tweaked so they all opened and closed properly. They look beautiful and work great."

"Mike, performs high quality work.. He's an excellent carpenter with skills in other areas as well. He's installed large windows, doors, counter tops, bathroom shower tiles and floors, fireplace tiling, siding repair, kitchen island renovation etc. We've found that he's very dependable, easy to work with and takes great pride in the work he performs. We'd highly recommend Mike for any home construction projects."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when installing a pocket door or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.

There are certainly perks to hiring a general contractor, but we recommend a closet professional. The reason is that their pricing may make more sense for your project. General contractors tend to search out bigger projects, and because of this, will attach a premium to smaller amounts of work. A closet pro may also have access to a wider range of materials than general contractors (and may be able to negotiate better discounts). 

High-tech solutions and strategic placement can help ensure the safety of your pet door. Pet doors can pose security risks, as well as the risk of stray or wild animals entering your home, but modern pet doors offer options like collar-based sensors to ensure doors will only open for your pet, and installing a pet door in an out-of-sight location or in a wall rather than a door can help to avoid intruders using the door to gain access to your home.

Permits are required when carrying out any structural work, so in most cases, you will need a building permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door. If you have specific questions about your project or need to obtain a permit, contact your municipal building department or ask your contractor for advice.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.
