    My family has been in the real estate business my whole life. Mostly rentals and doing remodels. I’ve personally been involved for the past 22yrs and now have my own business. Remodels and rentals have been the norm and now I’m getting into new construction. Matt I just want to thank you you for the amount of knowledge and building science that you give out for free on The Build show and The Build Show Network. You could very easily charge for your knowledge that you have gained over the years of being in the trenches. I feel like you can always learn something to make yourself and your craft better if you have an open mind. Thanks again for putting these platforms together and sharing with us.

    Years ago I build a concrete block house with two exterior doors. I used simple commercial doors and painted them with epoxy. One was solid wood and one steel with cemented in steel frames. During construction a homeless man broke in using a cement block on the steel door knob. Since it was winter and the heating system was not installed yet he moved on. I replaced the knob and moved the blocks inside. Later, after I moved, I came home to find a size 13 shoe print on my wood door with no observable damage except the mud on the paint, I think someone had to make a trip to the hospital.

  • @alec4672

    The first door you showed that you said don't buy. I agree as a door but you can buy them as wall panels. You can make a jig for the skill saw and cut the two halves apart and get 2 nice wainscoting style wall panels out of them. I saw a whole wall get done that way once. It's sounds tacky but with some additional trim is was a really nice accent wall.

    i have a question about the requirements of door warranties. in this video, they said that the warranty requires painting the door on all 6 sides. but when you have an exterior door, the bottom of the door is usually covered, by a door sweep or door bottom that is kerfed, glued and/or stapled to the bottom of the door. are you expected to remove and reattach the door sweep/bottom so that you can paint the bottom of the door?

    The biggest problem with any door is when the painters remove them and remove the hinges. They will either not get them set in the mortise correctly or they will strip the hinge screws.
    It doesn't matter how well the door is built. The painters WILL mess them up. I have been a trim carpenter for 35 years and have seen this thousands of times. You should do a short video about this problem

    I sold a few solid veneered oak doors panel for like $350-500 a piece at Home Depot. Oak veneer was cheaper than pine somehow which didn't make any sense but it was the case, REEB is a brand we deal with for Special order that I love because they sell multiple brands and do machining themselves and like this brand they can do anything you want if you ask and are really good at what they do. Where as the more common is jeld-wen which is decent and can do good stuff but not as good logistics and consistency assembly wise.

    Great introductory video. Interesting that I did not see the low-cost door that we had in our 700sf 2br-1ba 1952 New Jersey “Cape”: A simple 1 3/8” x 30” x 80” hollow-core birch veneer flush slab with painted clamshell casing and cylindrical lockset. Pop put a clear finish on the slab and we has an attractive, no-frills, simple door that worked well and added a desirable contemporary touch of wood to the interior decor. Not exactly an architectural award winner but it did NOT attempt to “fake” a phony panel and stile.
    When we sold the house in 2005, it still had the same doors and they had survived a half-century of use in near as-new condition. Overall this home, which dated from the early days of production tract house construction and was by-and-large short on embellishments, was built very well and easy to maintain over time. It was a very adaptable “starter home” that my frugal parents never really wanted to move up from.

      @@ImShiftehh It's a very reasonable question actually, because there are duct systems that do exactly this. However, if you place the registers correctly, and use the right supply registers that won't be a problem. If you design a system badly, lots of the warm/cool air will go directly into the return even if it's in the hallway. Usually the reason a system will have a single return is because it's cheaper and you can get away with it.

    I bought woodworking equipment and learned how to make solid (pine) wood paneled doors for my home to replace the existing CNC-milled MDF doors. I prefer the authentic look and feel for these doors. I look at and use the doors every day, and the engineered stuff just feels so fake.
    Solid wood doesn't move as much as these production companies make you think.

    Hey Matt, I would like to replace with IPE vs Cedar rainscreen vs shiplap siding. I want one and am so confused.
    Sacramento Ca area.
    I have a house face with brick, hardie planks and cedar facing the house... add the stucco everywhere else and yeah a hodgepodge. The 🏠 is a 412 pitched roof with an off set garage with the same.

      There are some locations that will offer to seal the bottom of the exterior doors, but still very important that your painter remove the door sweep to prime and paint all 6 sides of the doors.

    Over the years of living in a large city I've seen the curbs lined with amazing amounts of old growth millwork and lumber and especially doors being stacked up to be thrown out now I guess they have to use dumpsters but it just seemed like whenever somebody went into an old house to renovate the first thing they did was tear out all those wonderful six and eight panel longleaf pine doors and yes they were probably tossed because of paint flaking and chipping and looking horrendous but with a little bit of effort you can burn off the paint of those doors to the point where you can feather the rest out and have yourself a first rate piece of millwork

    Why is a cheap pre-hung double door set $900 when its made from a pair of $125 to $150 doors?
    Its just got a longer top frame and a longer threshold.... instead of 2 shorter of each. And its missing 2 side frame members vs buying the 2 doors separate.

    • @gr33dyglutton
      @gr33dyglutton 4 роки тому +18

      When they say movement, they're referring to seasonal movement, i.e. expansion and contraction due to environmental conditions. When they say warpage, they're referring to cupping and twisting of the wood. Wood can experience movement, stay true, and return to it's original state. However, if a door twists or warps, it's no longer true and will not return to it's original state. They're different phenomenon.

    choosing solid core doors doesn't have to be for reasons like "I want to pass down this house to a family member" it can be just for the sake of chosing quality over cheap and easy. remember your home value is a whole of its parts. Being able to say "solid core doors throughout" is a great selling point. would you rather hear the home has 2x4 framing or 2x6 or even 2x8 framing?
    for me metal exterior doors and solid wood interior doors is the best option.

    Did I miss the 150 mph hurricane rated part? Inspectors in my area are dictating what they deem a 150 mph door, regardless of sticker rating. It matters in Florida. Condensating, air tight doors, not so much. I found the fingerjoint and poplar frame options humorous. Oh wait, this is interior...or is it?

    the cited $10,000 price for the walnut custom door (which doesn't really appeal to me) shown in this video is a lot of money. but it is worth noting that if you get into "exclusive" custom european doors, you could easily be looking at $20,000 or more. european doors are typically a bit more complex, and have more in them, than is usually the case with US doors, but you get the idea.
