"My husband and I have an old house with beautiful views. It is very bright and light. However, the upstairs was a converted attic and our bedroom was open to the rest of the house. We wanted to put a door in, but were concerned it would be dark and close off the light and the views. We hired Ray because he is a custom woodworker and has built custom doors for decades. Ray went above and beyond our expectations and created such an exquisite, beautiful, incredible door frame and door. It has side lights on either side of it and is double framed glass in the side lights as well as a double framed glass door. This allows the lights and the views to stream in, but it also keeps the sound out. He was wonderful to work with, and when I expressed how important it was to have both the openness and light but also the noise blocked he was creative and had lots of ideas on how to make it happen. He used over 100 pieces to make this custom on custom door. Custom on custom. Form and function!"

"This review is long overdue in my praise of Washington Energy Services for their customer service, pricing and workmanship ! My first interaction was in 1999 when they installed windows throughout my house. They are still in excellent condition. I might note I called them over 20 years later to inquire on how I could repair a broken slider and they sent someone right out, charging a very nominal amount to repair it. In 2020, I needed to replace my hot water tank, and the extremely knowledgeable Christy presented several options, answering my many questions. I settled on one with a booster that seemed to best fit my needs. Finally, in December 2023, I purchased a new gas furnace from WES. I had a minor issue with a fan switch and they responded quickly to rectify the situation. Within the past two months, I seemed to be having an issue with my thermostat (something they had not installed), and the manager, Greg, came out twice with his crew to explore the problem. Today they installed a new thermostat FREE OF CHARGE! Their excellent response and customer service is beyond any company I have hired. And I particularly love that they are family owned and have been around for decades. Their employees seem to be there for the long haul, which speaks highly of the owner. I refer all my friends and family and I won't go anywhere else for services that they offer. Many thanks to the staff I have interacted with over the past 25 years!"

Installing a barn door can be straightforward under the right conditions. When there is ample, clear wall space and the installation involves only attaching tracks and mounting the door, the process is relatively simple. However, if obstructions such as electrical outlets, door frames, or wall fixtures must be modified or removed, the installation becomes more complex and requires professional expertise. A professional can make these adjustments safely and efficiently, ensuring the door operates perfectly and enhances the overall space.
A bottom track is necessary, especially as the door's weight increases. Without a bottom track, heavy doors can swing against the wall and cause damage. The bottom of the door should be half an inch from the floor to ensure proper clearance. Sliding doors also need a bottom guide to prevent the door from coming off the track.
Barn doors can enhance a home's value by creating a distinctive look and improving interior functionality. Homes with barn doors can command a higher sale price compared to those without them. Barn doors introduce a modern design element that opens up living spaces and effectively conceals storage areas. This upgrade not only improves the overall aesthetic but also increases the property's market appeal through added versatility and visual interest.
Yes, a barn door should be larger than the opening. The door should be two to three inches wider than the opening and about one inch taller to ensure proper coverage. Rooms requiring more privacy, such as guest rooms and bathrooms, need additional overlap to reduce noise and eliminate gaps.
