"This was our third door replaced by Renewal By Anderson, Heritage Window & Door, Superior, WI. Matt & Tyler couldn't have been more professional with the installation and customer service. We look forward to our fourth door replacement coming up this Spring. We can already tell the difference in less draft and more warmth in the area of the new storm door! When the gentlemen left, you couldn't tell anyone was here as their cleanup was spotless!"
"Not a typical patio door replacement - door to a balcony on the second floor of a half-log faced home. Required creative problem-solving and precision trim work. Zach is experienced, professional, and efficient. Easy to work with, very considerate of our needs. Very happy with the results."
"Excellent work. We purchased natural cherry cabinets in shaker style, with the panels made of solid wood rather than veneer. That is more difficult work, as each panel has to be constructed from several planks. Moreover, the clear finish would leave any flaws more visible. Simply put, the doors are beautiful--flawless in both construction and finish. They are similar in quality to custom cherry furniture we own."
"I would like to say that we would use GF Company in the future. The Positive: The sales representative, Ken Jr., was astounding. His knowledge of his field was excellent and I enjoyed talking with him. He was also very thorough with his estimate and writing down in great detail what we wanted to have done. I hope we get him as our sales representative when it is time to do our roof or our windows. The work was done exactly as Ken Jr. had written on the estimate. For the most part the work matches the current look of the shed and it has already filled the water barrel. The Negatives: It was difficult to communicate with GF Company. We had originally received a quote from Rick a year before the work was done and we contacted GF Company many times to speak with him about getting the work done, but none of our phone calls were returned. Finally we asked for someone new and we got Ken Jr. sent to us. After we paid our half-down deposit, we were told that we would get a call in about three weeks to find a date for the work to be done. After about 5 weeks we tried contacting GF Company. One phone call had us speaking with a lady on the phone who said that someone would call us back soon, but that never happened. We never received a call to tell us when the work would be done as we wanted to have someone home to make sure things were done to our specifications. Several days after our phone call was not returned, we received a text message from our neighbor telling us that someone was doing work on our property, but my wife and I were both at work and by time we got home the work was done. Since Ken Jr. did such a great job with writing down what we wanted, we did not have any issues with what was done. It appears that one of the items created on site for our downspout on the shed was likely spray painted on site. The paint job has already faded, but we can find some paint to paint it again. Overall, it sounds like we had a bad experience, but we did not. The work that was done was done well and the sales representative we worked with was very knowledgeable. We would use GF Company again and recommend them, but encourage folks to have patience with communication. "
"The quality of work was very good, and the workers were prompt and nice to work with. David Marshall is very easy to get ahold of and I think this is a real virtue compared to other handymen I have worked with in Duluth. They called around and found a spring to fix a very old window of ours that we have otherwise needed to replace. All of these were very positive aspects of the interaction. My only negative comment is that one of the projects (the custom door) ended up being much more expensive than I anticipated. I think this was because one of the workers suggested something that we did not have in the quote, and I was just not prepared for the expense. I think that this is more of a communication issue than anything. I still highly recommend Marshall Handyman, but I would just be very careful to specify the price of anything if modifications are made during the repair process, especially if you are talking to an employee and not David Marshall. Otherwise, good work. "

French doors can either open inward or outward, but because hinges are the mechanism for opening and closing, a single set of French doors will not be able to do both. Most French doors only open outward onto a patio, deck, or porch, while some only open inward if the outdoor space is limited and can’t accommodate the open doors.
Standard door sizes aren’t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors—like your front door—36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you’ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. “Standard” only works if it matches what’s already in place.
If you took measurements of the door and can’t find the correct size in the store, you may need a custom-size screen door. Many door manufacturers produce doors fit-to-size using individualized dimensions. Another option, if the door opening is smaller than standard, is to have the door frame opening cut larger to accommodate a standard-sized door.
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.
At the minimum, you want your pet door to fit into its intended location, be the right size for your pup, and have energy-efficient and weatherproofing features. Besides that, you’ll also need features that are unique to your situation. If you live where raccoons run rampant, you should look into doors you can open remotely. If you have small children in your home, you might need a door that only responds to your dog’s collar.
