I had a rotted out door that needed to be replaced. I wanted to keep these glass vents in the door, since they don’t make this particular door anywhere. I went to Home Depot, but no help there. I shopped around, and was basically told I’d have to buy a new door or spend a fortune on a custom made door. I thought how hard could it be to cut a rectangle out of a door to put the original glass vents in? I was getting quotes of about $500 to custom make what is basically a cheap door with vents put in (which would be provided), and I’d have to hire an install guy which is another $100 give or take. This was absolutely ridiculous. I was set on letting the door just sit there and slowly ruin, and it did for a good year until I had a party. One of my guests told me to call Sierra Padre Mill, which was just literally right down the street (5 blocks from me), so I made a call. They told me to just bring in the door, they’d do something called ‘door matching’ which lines up the hinges, so I wouldn’t need a contractor to reinstall the door. Plus, they’d custom make the door so I could keep the glass vents. Simple, easy, smart, right? And, the best part, inexpensive! Wouldn’t you believe it, this place was just down the street from me. They had all the answers like it was no big deal I wanted to keep the vents, and I didn’t have to spend any extra money on install. These guys have all the answers. I really wasted my time at all those other door companies. Sierra Padre is all about simple, effective solutions. Made my life easy, and I’m extremely happy with my new door. Keep it up guys.
Pros: These guys know what they're doing
Cons: They should advertise more

This shop is one of the best tropical fish shops that i have ever been in. It offers fish that Petco has never even heard of. The shop is locally run and the staff knows the answer to every question about fish. They know what fish work together and they know how to keep you tank running and your fish alive. They carry both freshwater and tropical fish with reasonable prices.

I don't think I've seen a bigger selection of fuschias anywhere. Around $15-20 each and they're all so beautiful and healthy. I have two and I love how Evelyn W wants to help make sure you understand the care of fuschias and that they're going to good homes!
My kids love this place because they have a couple of ponies and goats and it's just a nice easygoing place.
