"He was professional and did a fantastic job of putting my door up and doing another fix on my front door. I have already hired him to do more work. I am a senior citizen and would highly recommend Fix All Guardians for anything that needs fixing around the house."
"Everything was resolved as requested. He repaired my washing machine for me by replacing a part. Marco is very thorough and kind and I highly recommend his services."
"I would give a 10 rating but 5 is the highest I can do here. My wood front door had been made to hold a large piece of stained glass, which was a copy of the door in my husband's childhood home. The wood had rotted from water hitting the door. The stained glass meant a lot and I never thought I would be able to save it. I saw Innovative Visions on Angi. Ramon came by and explained what they could do. They started and finished the door today. It looks much better than when it was first done. Moving stained glass from one place to another is challenging and they did it so beautifully. Ismael and the guys are artists. I am so happy with the finished door and so glad I learned about Innovative Visions on Angi. Thanks for making my whole house look so much better. I love my new door."

"After our kids repeatedly locked us out of the bathroom by shutting the door with a broken lock, I finally called Alan. He had rekeyed our house a few years ago and I remember him doing a great job, being punctual, quick, and no-nonsense. Alan was available to fix my interior door lock, offered a reasonable and lower rate than other locksmith quotes to show up to do the job (even though it was a small job, most had higher flat rates for service calls,) showed up 10 minutes early, and fixed the lock in 10 minutes. Wonderful. "
"It went fine. They removed double sliding patio doors, replaced all wheels on doors and installed new track on bottom. Old track was so bent we could barely move the doors. They now glide easily. At first they were noiseless, but a couple of weeks later they got a little noisy, although they still glide smoothly. This may have been due to pressure put on the door when we later had a safety laminate put on the glass. I wish I'd done it years ago, as the struggle to open & close them was really annoying. We initially planned to replace the doors, but they're 60 years old, no one makes them any more and it would have cost many thousands of dollars to replace. We're quite happy. "
"Garage door spring replaced August of last year. Called this morning (Jan. 2018) and woman denied having any record of my prior sale/repair/purchase, said "they do not work for private individuals." Phone connection was incredibly poor, she called back. Service before seemed fine. I suspect the same spring broke, but there's no way I will call this company again for service "they only work for companies" and she kept asking over and over and over again the same questions - my name, address....saying they had no record. (Fine - happy to move on....no need for rude service providers.)"
"Chris is a true craftsman. He made sure that everything was perfect, and he did the work at a price that substantially beat two well-regarded competitors. Both window/doors are now perfectly clear and they move smoothly for the first time since we purchased the home a year ago."
You can convert a pre-hung door into a Dutch door, but it’s more of a pain. Pre-hung doors are already set in the frame with the hinges and everything aligned, so once you cut the slab in half, you’ll likely need to adjust the hinge placement and maybe even mess with the frame itself. It’s doable, but expect some trial and error because it’s not a straight-swap situation.
Check for alignment issues or swelling due to moisture. A simple hinge adjustment or sanding may rectify the problem.
While it's likely that a door handle will sag over time, there are some things you can do to maintain your handles and keep them from drooping. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and lubrication, is one place to start. Inspecting the door regularly, at least once or twice a year, to make sure that the connections aren't too tight is another good idea.
Exposure to moisture leads to door jamb rot. Water softens the wood, leaving it susceptible to damage from even slight bumps. Over time, the excess moisture allows mold, mildew, and fungus to grow. These organisms feed on the wood, leaving behind a soft, splintering door jamb. The breakdown will continue if the wood isn’t repaired or replaced. Outdoor wood jambs are the most prone to rotting, but bathrooms and doorways in a humid climate can sustain this damage.
A few signs that you need a new door frame include: The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes. You notice cracks, holes, or rotting. You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed. You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.
