Step 3: Meet Your Coach

Once you have your project vision, it is time to meet your Coach! Each Turkstra location has Coaches who specialize in our different product categories (gameplans), and their training is aimed at helping YOU Build-It-Better.

A meeting with your Build-It-Better Coach will focus on the details of your project, such as timing, budget, materials, style, and so much more. Proper planning and resources are critical to the success of your project, which is why we take the time to work through the details of your project together.

Below, you will find Project Information Sheets that will get you thinking about your project and some of your Coach's questions. Feel free to get a head-start before meeting with your Coach by filling out a form and bringing it to your meeting.

Manufacturers’ websites are a great resource for inspiration as they tend to showcase their most popular and unique offerings. Below are links to several door manufacturers’ galleries.

Door Terms

• Jamb – The vertical up-right components (or lining) that form the sides of a doorway.
  • Split-Jamb Pre-hung Doors – Jambs are split in half lengthwise and the trim casing is already attached to each edge of the jamb, so no mitering is necessary.
• Plumb – Test (an upright surface) to determine the vertical.
• Shim – A washer or thin strip of material used to align parts, make them fit, or reduce wear (a wooden wedge in our case).
• Therma-Tru fiberglass door – Looks like wood, but it won’t warp or rot like wood, or dent or rust like steel. The inside is filled with an exceptional heat and cold-resistant material that helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
• Weatherstripping – The process of sealing openings such as doors, windows, with weather strips (strips of material) to prevent cold air from entering your home from the outside.
