Barn Door Repair
A home in Costa Mesa had a poor barn door installation by a contractor, completely re-installed so it would function and operate properly. The owner had issues with the barn door functions and uncompleted work by the contractor that originally installed the door and remodeled their closet.
Upon observing the installation, there were Numerous problems with the quality of workmanship, safety, and poor installation, it was obvious that the door had to be removed and re-installed.

First, the track was installed 3/8 of an inch in 4 feet, Out Of Level!
Second, the entire support, almost all of the brackets, were installed with "drywall anchors" and not secured to wall framing. Third, The door wheels/roller supports were installed with loose/stripped brackets and were twisted in opposite directions and not parallel |
It was determined that the back side of the track hardware needed to have addition framing/blocks installed to secure the hardware properly. Upon opening of the sheetrock/drywall, even more problems were uncovered. Now I was feeling like this contractor took these people for money by lying and hiding very poor workmanship inside the wall.
The wiring was installed on the outside of the framing (between the framing and drywall without wire protection. You can see by the picture at the right the the wiring almost got hit twice by nails!
To top that off, the picture on the left also shows that the wall studs/framing were cut and left unsupported for the doorway opening! NO HEADER! So, I had to provide the framing, no only for the barn door tracks, but for the doorway opening as well. |
Drywall and wall texturing completed, hardware re-installed, secured and straightened (and leveled!)
