My pet peeve in my rentals...Doors! Whats YOUR biggest peeve?
Doors on my rentals are driving me crazy! Since most of my properties are purchased in a distressed state of some sort, My first step is usually to secure the property and then start the trash out process. Doors can vary...old rotted wood ones are replaced with newer steel doors (Home Depot )
I usually take the time to widen a doorway too if it needs it.
Ive learned to remove closet doors after they seem to get trashed over and over. Creatively trashed. But Entry doors have never been an issue once I fix them up in the beginning.
Until yesterday. Had a handyman at a place to check it out for some spring repairs, he mentioned the door was 'broken' as in kicked in. Broken door jamb and all. Of course, we are immediately addressing the issue, but it made me reflect on...doors.
