Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) Ends February 1, 2010

This goes to all those renovators, do it yourselfers, builders and anybody who wants to do some home fixin'!






The Home Renovation Tax Credit is based on expenses for improvements to your house, condo or cottage. It can be claimed on your 2009 tax return. It ONLY applies to work or goods acquired after January 27, 2009 -January 31, 2009 under an agreement entered after Jan 27, 2009.

Now you are probably thinking well it is almost spring and are therefore concerned about Curb appeal and heading your focus outdoors. Well you are absolutely right! A quick and easy way of changing the feeling and look to a house and into a beautiful home would be done by simply changing your front door!

You can replace the entire unit or simply swap out your door, just like the picture above. This house changed instantly into a home with character by swapping out a paneled door with a beautiful Craftsman door!

There are so many options for home renovating and home improvements, consider swapping out your doors, an instant upgrade would be by replacing old interior hollow core doors with some nice beautiful wood doors. This will not only bring style and character to the home but some peace and quiet!! Wooden doors are not only gorgeous but will reduce the amount of noise in a home. Why replace hollow doors with hollow when you can spend the same amount and get solid doors from Dayna's Doors!

We will replace your doors and frames or simply your doors. Bring in your old doors and we will machine the new doors to match the old ones. We would also love to recycle your old doors, as we do not like to throw things away!



The HRTC aplies to eligible expenses of more than $1,000, but not more than $10,000, resulting in a max non-refundable credit of $1,350. (($10,000 - $1,000) x 15%).

For more information please, please visit http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/hrtc/ ask questions and do some research!

We will help you with your home improvements!

Goodbye to the Pink Forklift

Have you ever heard of a pink forklift? Not many people have, but Dayna's Doors has been rocking it for 3+ years. The pink forklift has become a mascot of sorts, where many  people will tell other people "you can't miss it, it's the shop with the pink forklift!" I have to admit guys and girls look pretty cool when driving this sporty unit!!

The first pink forklift was retired early summer 2008 and donated to a local charity and later donated to a metal recycling yard. This here is a picture of the second pink forklift and she is now being retired. We have been through a lot with her, she has helped us is so many ways. We have loaded many a trucks for shipping all over the world! We will miss her greatly but will warmly welcome a new one to our team!

Stay tuned for the new forklift, will it be pink too?

Craftsfman Door for Santa

Everyone knows that Christmas is coming and guests and parties will start happening. Wouldn't it be wonderful to greet everyone with a new door? Also Santa enjoys newer larger doors since he no longer squeezes through that crazy chimney! I mean really it makes sense, not everyone has a chimney so of course Santa over the years has had to adapt and use the front door!

Craftsman style doors are classic style and timeless for any style or trend. These doors will hold value forever as long as you treat them nicely! We polish our shoes we should do the same 'polishing' for our wooden doors so they too remain nice and polished. Seal all 6 sides to a door, and after a long rainy season it is a great idea to check the bottom, top, face and edges of the doors to ensure they are still sealed and beautiful. If you let things go they..... go! Keep some of the polish/stain nearby so if you need to touch up the doors and maintain you can.

These doors are beautiful and would be perfect for a gift, for you, your home or the loved one that has always wanted that style of door. If not for them do it for Santa!

Recycle your doors and find your personality at Dayns's Doors!!

Dayna's doors offers a really neat renovation opportunity for those who want to change the personality of their homes. Simply by changing your old doors will update and change the feeling of a home. After all homeowners like to renovate to update and sell or make it fit their personalities. Yes thats right homes can match your personality!;)

There are so many styles to choose from at Dayna's Doors from traditional, shakers with clean lines to Frank Lloyd Wright designs, we carry many different kinds wooden and Fiberglass.

Dayna's Doors will take your old doors and recycle them, as we don't waste or throw away. If you don't want to replace your entire frame we can match up the hinges and door knobs of the old and to new or refurbished door. We also can cut them down and resize to fit your existing doors. This isn't to sound completely easy and simple... once we have machined out the hinges and matched up the door knob holes, when you bring them home it might take a little playing around for them to fit in the existing frames and work properly. If the old doors could speak and let us know what has been done to them in the past 20 years...shaved here, cut there...etc then there would be no problems! Since they can't we do our best to analyze the doors, cut and shave and hinge where needed, the rest is up to you or the patient carpenter you have hired!

Get some new/refurbished doors to fit your personality, change is good!

Come visit us at Dayna's Doors where we can dream up new ideas and make things possible!

Which way is up for a door?

When you are looking at a door there are styles, rails and panels that make up a door. The rail and style of a door consists of one of more panels surrounded by two vertical boards (styles) on each side, and horizontal boards (rails) top and bottom. There is sometime a center rail this is usually called a lock rail, as this is where your hardware for locking will be drilled and installed.

When you are looking at a door 99% of the time the bottom rail will be the largest rail out of the two.

In this picture with the Craftsman door ($499.99 door only) it is easy to tell which way is up, the windows are a clear giveaway. But what if there isn't a clear distinction? You can use the bottom rail knowledge!

Knowing what a style and rail will help you identify which way is up!
