Discount Door Inserts

We recently saw a neighbor’s home here in San Diego where they had installed leaded glass inserts in their double front door. We wanted that look, and we searched online and found Discount Door Inserts. I called and spoke with Becky, who answered all our questions and gave us a price quote on the style that we liked. DDI has a lot of flexibility in terms of using different types of glass within their designs, depending on customer preferences.
Shortly after we agreed to a design (the Rochester), the company sent someone to take precise measurements of our doors. The leaded glass is then custom designed to fit exactly in our doors. We had provided some paint that they could use to pre-​paint the moulding pieces before installation to match the inside and outside of our doors.
A few weeks later, Danielle came down from Placentia and was joined by Billy, the company’s San Diego installer. They had absolutely everything they needed and set up their work area in the street so as not to mess up our front porch or driveway with cuttings and sawdust. Danielle again took precise measurements to make sure her door cuts would be exactly correct. Then each door was taken down, and the center sections of the doors were cut out, leaving borders of about 5″ all around. Danielle was extremely diligent about making precise cuts, and she had some great saws for making those cuts.
The doors were rehung, and then the leaded glass inserts were carefully nailed into place. A silicone sealer was applied around the edge of the glass panels. We also had ordered tempered glass to be placed on the interior of the leaded glass (because we expect our little granddaughter to try banging her hands on the glass!). Danielle and Billy spent well over an hour carefully cleaning all the glass before the final panels were nailed in. Afterwards, they spent quite a bit of time covering nail holes and puttying the cracks between the moulding and the doors.
It took quite a while to complete the job, but Danielle wanted to make sure that everything was perfect — and it was. In a word, the doors look … Spectacular!
