Get matched with top doors (interior) installers and replacers in Charleston, SC

"Joseph Donabella was the handyman that came and fixed my front door. I have not been able to use my deadbolt for years. Joe took the door off and refit it properly so I can now use my deadbolt again. My door knob lock was also sticking. After he checked it he said I needed to replace the door knob due to its age and suggested I go to a hardware store so I can get the new knob and get it rekeyed to my current key. He was very pleasant and professional. I would work with him again."

"My first choice for any project or repair. Always on time and fully equipped to complete the job. All work has always been completed in a professional manner with no problems."

"Last month (July 2017), Ed, the owner of EMZ Contracting, put the finishing touches on a refurbishment of my condo master bathroom: we took out the 1970's ugly-colored tub and tiles, built — not installed — a gorgeous tiled walk in shower with sliding doors, put in a new tiled floor, a new vanity, new toilet, new lighting, new exhaust and heat lamp. I am completely pleased with Ed's work -- or rather, artistry. You see, Ed likes his work and takes great pride in it. When I first interviewed firms to do my bathroom, Ed’s observations and suggestions made excellent sense. He was there to help with every step of the process: suggestions for tiles, lighting — everything. The other contractors I interviewed just threw numbers at me. Now, my condo was not built to precision specs back in the day, and over the years the building has shifted slightly. These caused some problems that delayed Ed’s progress, problems that might have caused some serious dilemmas for less gifted renovators. Ed used imagination, good sense and expertise to get through those problems easily — or at least "easily" is how it seemed to me. In the planning stages, Ed said that he could do the job for the price on his estimate. We never skimped on materials: I selected exactly what I wanted — good quality stuff. And even though Ed several times worked long into the evening — those problems I mentioned earlier — EMZ’s final bill was right in line with his initial estimate. My bathroom is now a haven because it’s so well done and efficient. In summary, Ed is honest, hard working, and efficient. He takes enormous pride in doing the job right, and when planning he has a great eye for what will look good and what won’t. He will not charge you for what he has not earned. Like I said: an artist. I’m planning to re-do my outdated kitchen soon, and, frankly, I’m not even going to bother interviewing any other companies: EMZ has the job whenever I’m ready to start."

"We had 2 exterior French Doors that we were going to replace when we decided to check to see if they could be restored. Davidson of Charleston Restoration is a master craftsman. When he saw the doors he was thrilled to have the opportunity to work on them. They took many hours to strip the layers of white paint off the doors, then they stained them to match our other interiors doors. They are absolutely beautiful as a result of the pains-taking, quality work they did. Now they operate well, and are sealed correctly. They saved us over $3,000 by restoring the doors as opposed to replacing them. We will be using this company again soon for other projects. We HIGHLY recommend Davidson and Wanda and Charleston Restoration!!!!"

"Hello, My name is Phil Carr-Jones, I am reviewing my experience of working with and building my own kitchen, using cabinets and doors from Arkansas Wood Door. While I am an Episcopal Priest, it turns out I get to do a lot of things they don't teach you in seminary. Over the years, I have had to get fairly skilled in all the trades, including, no surprise, carpentry. But I am by no means an expert. For instance, I employed a retired carpenter to help out with the crown molding and other trim. Apart from that though, this is all my and my wife's work. So let me state up front, Arkansas Wood Doors is the go to place for the DIY’er who is thinking of remodeling their own kitchen. Here's why: I searched the web for months, literally doing comparisons and research on flat pack rta cabinets. I went to the big box store for a design and pricing in their three lines of cabinets, and I went in for a consult with a small custom shop in my area. Here's what I found. 99 outof 100 rta cabinet companies have their product made in china which means the standards for formaldehyde are going to be as fishy as they smell, plus you can only get cabinets in fixed sizes so if you looking to eeck out every last inch of space you're going to lose a lot and you'll be using a lot of filler strips wasting what could have been useful storage. If you want to go custom, then you only have less than a handful of online options, companies that will make to order in any dimension. For instance, I only wanted an 8 inches deep spice cabinet to allow for greater working room over the counter. My wife and I are pretty serious about cooking from pastries to mains and sides. We want a very serious kitchen. Plus, I'll tall so I needed the room. In any case, if you want something custom your choices online are limited. The big box stores don't really do custom and are just as limited in their options as are the online rta places. Most online rtas offer far cheaply made boxes with construction methods less sturdy. I have found that if I buy cheap, I shouldnt expect my kitchen to hold up past a few years. The finish will fade. The drawers will warp. The joints will open up. The big box stores basically offer the same thing, too. When I go to a big box store to buy something, I do it knowing I probably willl get a year out of it, whether that’s a lawn chair of a power tool. I mean when was the last time you regretting spending too much money on a better grade of power tool? So if you want quality, a better and safer grade building material and much wider choices in sizing then your basically down to three or four options. I went with Arkansas Wood Door and am completely pleased and impressed by the experience. Now I could have spent twice what I did and gone to a small custom shop and gotten the same thing, but I am in to saving money and frankly I enjoy the challenge. AWD worked with me directly. Working up the order and getting the plan for each box just right. If you have never designed and built a kitchen before, there are plenty of tips and guidance on the web and I recommend you heartily research all of the aspects and complications involved. I hit a couple of unexpected bumps. But more about that below. So do your research. For instance you can save a lot of money by building the plinths yourself and only order squared off boxes without the toe kick. By making the platform on which you place the lower cabinets first, you can get that plumb and level, so throwing up the boxes is a breeze. And again, the cabinets are also less expense, a complete all around win. AWD uses an easy system for matching up box parts so assembly was easy. No special tools required. Given the many parts and I used a mix of frameless and face framed cabinets, there was a moment or two when in amongst all the materials I got nervous about having everything I needed, but low and behold, all was right there in the end. I also recommend the concept from French cooking "mis en place" that is have all your ingredients in place and all your tools where you need them before starting out. Also, it was a lot easier to work with my wife than doing it alone, but I did a few by myself and so if that is your only option than you should have no problem. I've assembled a lot of cheaper Swedish flat packed furniture in my day, and the quality and sturdiness of AWD leaves no doubt about how long these will last. Just rock solid. Great thing about AWD is the cost to quality ratio. Cant beat it. Which also means if you make a mistake the replacement is so reasonable it becomes not big deal. I mis-measured one box and so I needed to order the right size. Worked out fine, but that was because AWD had an incredibly fast turn around. The other few reliable companies are several weeks to months. And these other places are crazy expensive. And in truth, the other companies are a complete rip off on trim and accessories. AWD pricing was so amenable that my mistakes cost me so little in comparison with what I was saving. So there's a built in confidence for the first timer. Also AWD made one mistake on the placement of a hinge in two doors. They immediately and without question remade them and sent them out in under ten days. You just can't get that service anywhere in the custom cabinet world. It was so affordable I upgraded on one side to black walnut. Trying doing that at the other quality shops. The quality of the roll out drawers and top drawer boxes is superb and the hinges and under-mount sliders are top grade excellent. The hardware was the easiest part frankly. Their system, for lining up the hardware is just so easy. Drill driver is all you need as the placement is already leveled for you. SO: high end quality custom built cabinets, superior custom support, fastest turnaround in the marketplace, most affordable pricing out there, excellent hardware, and oh yeah, I almost forget, color choices. They offer complete line of lacquer - just pick a SW color and they'll match it. SO completely and truly custom for a fraction of cost without sacrificing any quality. The Rev. Philip Carr-Jones"

"It went VERY well.  As indicated above, they went above and beyond, cleaning things that needed attention but hadn't been specifically mentioned as part of the "deal."  They did careful, thorough work with a couple of great big smiles.

"A large tree fell on my home during storm & I hired another contractor to complete repairs which included replacing 9-12 rafters/sheathing/shingles, re-building small front porch & adding 3 windows to sunroom. Original contractor installed the windows & did a lot of work on the roof but were very slow & work was sub-par.....they also had issues getting project permitted & I finally had to let them go. I was in a real bind to get repairs completed as I was in the middle of re-financing house when the storm hit. I contacted Commonwealth & they were able to come out & assess what needed to be done. They got the permits right away & got started. Most of the previous work had to be re-done....they removed the windows & added headers & proper support & re-installed, repaired roof & re-built front porch. All work was done professionally & in a timely manner. Also installed interior trim (baseboards/windowsills/frame) in sunroom, which I requested at the last minute, so house would be ready for appraisal. They did a nice job matching the original trim on older home. Would definitely hire again."

"Overall the painting looked as though a novice did it. There was paint on the floorboards and door trimming. What's worst, is there was paint on my furniture, which the painter advised I was okay with leaving in the room. Not satisfied.

"I checked Angie's List before calling to have my gutters cleaned, but when I received Tom's estimate I decided to just replace everything; not only was the price better than what the original gutters cost me but the problems uncovered and quality of work made it well worth while. The existing gutters were only 3 years old, but were too small and improperly hung; hence there was vegetation growing in them. I had 6" gutters with Shurflo installed. There also was a 2 foot long section of soffit through which water leaked during a recent rain. The estimate for the wood work ($100) included replacing that piece of soffit plus any damage to supporting beams or trusses underneath it. Anthony and Chad were the initial crew and later that afternoon were supplemented by Richard and Jason as the problems began to surface. In removing the old gutters and rehanging the new, for example, it was discovered that the roof line of the added rear porch was 2" higher than the house itself, which means the original gutters installed had not allowed for the flow of water in the correct direction, so they never were empty. Also, as so often happens, the removal of the one piece of rotted soffit revealed wood damage extending almost 12 feet. Anthony, Chad, Richard, and Jason were able to install all the guttering except for the front of the house (where the soffit was to be replaced) before they left. Today Anthony and Jason returned with all the needed materials, including lumber and even the screening for the soffit (open attic), and completed the job. The cost for the extra 10 plus feet was only $250. Everything has been caulked and the wood surfaces are all primed, ready for me to paint. I already have spoken to them about having some reinforcement for sagging, 8-foot wooden gates early this winter and likely next spring will have them replace multiple fence posts as none of the original ones were set in concrete. These guys are really professional, showing the customer what they are doing, answering questions, polite, knowledgeable and both times their clean-up has been spotless!"
