"Considering a door replacement and was searching for Philipâ s info. He did a great job on replacement of back door to garage. Doesnâ t show, but I know I upgraded to 5 stars after we had rain. Was waiting to be sure didnâ t leak. Philip is the best contractor we have used, ever, since living in Watsonville for decades. He is efficient and his charges are very reasonable and he stands behind his work."

"I needed several different jobs done around my home. Jerry was able to take care of everything. He is a skilled carpenter and also The talented in other areas as well. He renovated my home office by creatively repairing a redwood entry door, patching and painting the room, hung a large flat screen TV, replaced a toilet in the bathroom as well as numerous other small fixes around the property. He was able to clearly communicate what he was going to do and showed up on time. I’m very happy with results. I highly recommend S &J Handyman Services."

"Ryan Lovejoy and his Assistant Issac where such a lucky find! I explained the scope of what I wanted done and received a bid in a very timely manner. I needed some significant repairs on an older deck, NOT a complete rebuild. Ryan kept me informed of exactly what was needed to accomplish this. And I am delighted with how the project came out. They were ON TIME, they kept the area Clean and Tidy after the days work, always a plus. I would not hesitate to reach out to Lovejoy Construction for any needs in the future."

Doors questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Spacing a door is tricky since you need to leave enough of a gap for the door to move freely and not get stuck when the slab and frame contract and expand in dry and humid conditions. The ideal gap between a doorframe and slab is 1/8 of an inch. If the gap is any larger, the door will feel drafty. But if the gap is any smaller, the slab can get stuck due to weather changes.

Yes, new steel doors add value to your home. They improve curb appeal, increase home security, and make your home more energy-efficient. High-quality steel doors are durable, low-maintenance, and insulate well against hot and cold temperatures. Potential buyers often appreciate the added protection and aesthetic upgrade, so new steel doors can help your home stand out and increase its resale value.

If you don’t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They’re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, measure your door width and make sure the one you want is long enough. Most door sweeps are 36 inches long, and you can cut them down to size with a hacksaw.

A security door costs an average of $1,400, but costs can range from $600 for a simple screen or steel door to more than $4,600 for a wrought-iron security door. You can also buy specialized locks separately for $200 to $600. If you decide to hire a pro to install your new security door, you’ll spend around $275 to $425 on labor costs.
