Get matched with top doors (exterior) installers and replacers in Ridgeway, WV

"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"

"Blue Ridge is a very good company and we are very happy with the deck they built for us. The quality and workmanship was outstanding and I will definitely hire them again."

"Do NOT waste your time and money with this company. All four of the projects I hired Handyman Connection of Winchester to complete for me resulted in no-shows or having to re-schedule at the last minute, which resulted in me losing days and pay from my job. The straw that broke the camel back concerns two projects - deck stripping/refinishing, and replacing pressure-treated handrails and pickets. The deck stripping/refinishing had to be postponed until spring - at me on the decision - because the guy got sick at the last minute the previous fall and Handyman Connection had no one else to complete this job. When the finally commenced the following spring, the guy arrived with a burned-out pressure washer. He asked to use mine, to which I agreed, and just as he was finishing up stripping the deck he also burned out MY pressure washer. Do you think he said anything to me? No! I found this out later that same year when I attempted to use it to pressure wash my sidewalk ... it was completely dead. When the guy came back a few weeks after the deck had a chance to dry out, he applied two EXTREMELY HEAVY coats of deck paint over a two day period. The result ... by late winter/early spring, the paint was chipping, bubbling up and peeling off in long strips. Just prior to the deck being painted, and the second project I referred to above, an installer came out to my house to install Trex top-of-the-line railing and pickets, which I had already bought. He was to also build a gate leading from the deck down to the yard, for which I also purchased the materials. Well, according to the owner of this company, Bryan, the installer messed up the gate and Bryan indicated I would have to have another estimate drawn up exclusively for the gate. The gate was part of the initial estimate, but to date, I did not agree to another estimate and therefore, I never did get the gate - which was one of the main reasons I wanted new railing and pickets, so I could contain my pets to the deck during pleasant weather. And with regards to the rails, within six months each section of the Trex railing began to swag down in the centers. Over the next TWO years, I kept reporting this (as well as the shoddy deck paint job) to Handyman Connection via e-mails, phone calls AND also paying personal visits to the company. I was assured by Tiffany, the owner wife, that Bryan would most definitely come out to my house, survey the problems and fix them to my satisfaction. To this day, I have not been contacted by Bryan or Tiffany in an attempt to address these issues. I had a relationship with Handyman Connection for over three years - despite the no-shows and last-minute cancellations by Handyman Connection (there is a horror story for each of the four projects). I trusted this company, gave them repeated business, and referred them to many people. I make it a point to mention to anyone looking for a contractor for projects around their homes to NOT contact Handyman Connection. I have"

"We recently remodeled our master bathroom and after extensive research we selected Remodel USA. We initially met with Martin Rabone who spent several hours showing us the various options available and assisting us in making preliminary selections. We were directed to various distributors who work with Remodel USA to make tile, granite and fixture selections. We found all of them to be extremely helpful. All parts of the project were carefully worked through with no work beginning until all the materials were available. We were told the project would take 2 weeks from start to finish and were pleasantly pleased that they finished a day early. Our production manager, Percy Melendez, assisted in final choices of materials prior to ordering and insured that we had the correct items and was meticulous in overseeing the two workers, appearing frequently and phoning often to be sure we were happy with everything. Two people were assigned to do the entire instillation except for the frame less shower glass. This meant that there was no waiting for various people who might be delayed by other jobs and the two knew how to do the tile work, electrical work, and plumbing. Both workers were extremely attentive to making sure that our carpets and furnishings were protected and provided advice about placement of grab bars and the showers. They approached us to make final placement decisions before instillation and did everything possible to make certain we would have the master bathroom we envisioned. The frame less shower surround was also expertly installed. All workers cleaned up the area daily and left no construction or other trash behind. Overall, we were exceptionally pleased with our entire experience and highly recommend Remodel USA. We will definitely consider them for future home projects as they do additions, windows, and other things."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"I recently moved into a rental townhouse and found some things that, although not necessary, would be nice to have done. Since Rick had built handicap access ramps for my husband and had done such a fantastic job, he was the only call I made. We could not use the garage door opener because the bracket to the overhead door had been broken by the previous tenant. I had a Pella storm door from my old home that I wanted on my front door and the gate to the backyard fence had a padlock on it (and we were given no key!) as well as being misaligned. I made one phone call to Rick and scheduled a time for him to come do the work. He arrived precisely on time and started work immediately. First, he put a new bracket on the overhead door and reattached the garage door opener. Then, he installed the storm door and made sure it was working properly. Finally, he cut the lock off the gate, removed the hinges, realigned the door and re-secured the hinges.
Rick worked quickly and efficiently, but also took the time to be friendly and courteous. I still have some other things on my "honey-do" list and I will only make that one phone call to Rick "The Handyman" Holdridge, because he has proven to me that he is honest and trustworthy and that he is highly skilled and experienced."
