"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. "
"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 have a few options when trying to fix a misaligned door hinge. Tighten the hinge screws first. If you see the door is sagging, then you might need longer screws in the door hinges. It’s also possible the door needs a readjustment, so try loosening the hinges and adjusting the door, then retightening them once you have the door in place. If none of these solutions help, it may be time to replace the door hinges altogether.
Paint does nothing to minimize the spread of wood rot, so painting an infected door isn’t a good use of your time. Repairs or replacements are still necessary. Otherwise, the rot will continue to spread. Wait until after handling the rot problem before whipping out the paintbrush.
Butterfly hinges are one of the most common types of hinges and you can use them all over your home. Though they’re common on doors, cabinets, and shutters, you can even find them on decor, like jewelry boxes, music boxes, and trunks. Doors may have basic butterfly hinges, while the hinges on cabinets and decor may be more ornate.
Most of the time, a squeaky door is the result of dry hinges, where metal parts rub together without enough lubrication. Dirt, dust, or rust can also build up inside the hinge and add to the friction. Loose screws or slight misalignment can shift things just enough to create that irritating squeaking noise. Worn-out hinges or swelling wood from humidity changes can also be part of the problem on older doors. A good cleaning and proper lubrication usually take care of it, but if the squeak sticks around, it’s worth checking for bigger issues with the hinges or alignment.
Even if you’re an advanced DIYer, repairing a sliding glass door yourself is not a good idea. This project requires precise measurements and work to ensure the door aligns properly within the space and frame, otherwise, you’ll have an uneven door on your hands. Additionally, most repairs require knowledge of taking the door apart and putting it back together with the replacement part, which if not done correctly, could cause massive problems. It’s best to leave this project to a sliding door repair specialist.
