Phoenix Doors
The dictionary says a door is "a movable structure used to close off an entrance." There is a reason Webster only sells words. Doors are so much more than just a structure. Without doors, there would be no grand entrance, no quiet nap times and no view to the back yard. Exterior doors are critical in our building envelope and interior doors are critical for our quality of life. If you're looking for new doors, need to realign an existing door or perhaps want a window installed in a door, make sure you are working with licensed contractor who displays the Rosie on the House "certified partner" logo.
