When you are evaluating a property, the doors and windows can tell you a lot about the home and maybe the settling that is going on or has already happened.
Be sure to operate pocket doors. There are frequently track problems. And repairs can be difficult and expensive because of access problems. Many pocket doors have recessed hardware, so make sure you don’t overlook them.
Doors should stay where they are put. If a door is opened, it should not swing close. If its half opened, it should not swing in either direction. Doors that are not hung straight will often move on their own. This is a minor issue but is indicative of the quality of workmanship.
Many manufacturers of insulated metal doors recommend against adding a storm door. The heat buildup between the storm and primary doors can be significant. Raised plastic trim on metal doors will sometimes warp and pull away as a result of the heat buildup.
Always use the resources in the home to help you understand the issues the home may have.
HAPPY REHABBING!!!
