She was excellent throughout the process of designing the whole remodel and making suggestions for the selection of appropriate materials and appliances. This is our first kitchen renovation. We had multiple questions and changed our minds about what we wanted multiple times! Jaclyn was always patient with us, very generous with her time and accommodating. The final design is gorgeous! We are eager to see the finished product that will be delivered by Monks Home Improvement."

"We couldn’t have replaced this door with a better expert. Ryan took measurements and photos, then recommended several doors in various price ranges. We didn’t realize how many options come with storm doors. Ryan gave us some really good recommendations and helped us make a great choice. He installed the door in a half day while we were out. Came back to a gorgeous door/screen storm door combo- something we weren’t even sure could have been done to begin with. Important to know:Throughout the entire process, Ryan was responsive and easy to reach. That’s vital in a world where ghosting is the norm (unfortunately). Ryan is the expert you need for your remodeling needs. Highly recommend!"

"Loved working with Window King and highly recommend them! I was nervous about replacing my three really old windows in my old Hoboken condo. Nick walked me through the entire process so that I felt comfortable with the windows I was choosing as well as colors, and so that I was in line with what the HOA would/ wouldn't allow. Cesar and his crew were present on install day - they were on time, courteous, fast, professional, and did an incredible job. I don't think it even took them four hours. And big thanks to Lisa who was extremely communicative regarding the timeline. My condo is now far less noisy in terms of the noise coming from the street- and MUCH warmer which is exactly what I needed. Pictured are two of my old and new windows - the black lining are the old ones and white lining is the new. If I have the good fortune to own another home, I will use Nick/Cesar/Window King without a doubt."

You can generally remove between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door, depending on its construction. Exceeding this range risks compromising the door's structural integrity. For hollow-core doors, only trim the solid wood perimeter frame. Always start with minimal removal and check the fit frequently to avoid over-planing.
For basic door planing, you'll need either a manual hand plane or an electric planer . Additional supplies include sandpaper for smoothing edges, appropriate paint or stain for finishing, and possibly a screwdriver for hardware removal. Painter's tape helps protect surfaces during the process.
A professional handyperson or carpenter can plane a door in less than an hour. This includes removing the door, marking the areas needing adjustment, carefully planing the edges, and rehanging the door. DIY projects often take longer, especially for those unfamiliar with the process or working with limited tools.
No, planing should only be performed on wood doors. Metal, composite, and fiberglass doors require different modification methods entirely. Even with wood doors, hollow-core models need special attention as only their solid perimeter frame can be planed. Always verify your door's construction before attempting any modifications.
