"Gus and John were the technicians who came out, and I was super impressed with their work. They kept everything really clean, and honestly, watching them replace the rollers under the door was amazing they're so skilled! The door operates so smoothly now, it was definitely well worth the price"

"Anthony replaced two hinges and added a third hinge to a 2-hinge door that had been sagging. It works great now. He is an expert in door installation and door hardware. Has very prompt, personable, and knowledgeable. His labor charges are reasonable. The company is family run with his wife at the front office while he is in the field."

"Karol is very nice and easy to work with. He pays attention to details and will actually go to the site to check the condition of my front porch. He would also call me to discuss the repairing options and materials which we could use to save us money. He charges a reasonable price for a good quality job. We are quite happy with our front porch's new look. I would highly recommend Herman Construction as they are reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely come back to Karol again if we need help in the future."

"Tool Time was absolutely fabulous. Extremely professional and thorough. From beginning until end, everything was outstanding. No detail was overlooked. This was a step down for my mother‘s home, she couldn’t be happier. It looks as though it was installed at the same time the other banister was. 100% GREAT JOB !!!"

"Very positive experience with Sean. Good communication and on-time. After arriving, Sean was quickly able to assess the situation of my stuck crawlspace door that had eluded all previous attempts to unstick it. He was successfully able to unstick the crawlspace door using his tools, and he also shaved a small amount of wood off the sides of the crawlspace door so that it would not stick again. Excellent outcome."

Doors questions, answered by experts

No, exterior doors don’t need to be prehung, although choosing a door that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn’t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it’s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they’re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.

The most common size for an interior door is 80 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. However, a standard interior door can measure anywhere from 24 to 36 inches wide, depending on its intended use and the available space. According to most building codes in the U.S., a door must be at least 80 inches tall and 24 inches wide.

You should prime interior doors before painting for the best results. If you do paint directly on the wood, you could see some of the grain patterns show through the paint, in which case you’d need to apply additional coats. Priming the surface before painting will reduce the number of coats and can better cover the grain pattern for a clean, finished look.

Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this type of door knob may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.

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.
