"Jamie Garcia of JAMIE’S HOME REPAIR, is an ultimate professional. Stucco, eaves, painting, etc. It seems there’s nothing he can’t do. I would definitely recommend him for any project."
"I had two people come out that could not repair my sliding glass door. I initially understood; it is over 30 years old. Near Me Sliding Door (Juda), came out and came up with this idea (thought outside the box) and my door works perfectly. I am very happy with their work and their honesty."
"I received a great quality job for Felipe’s repair of the termite damage above my bathroom window! What I appreciated about Felipe’s approach was he was willing to brainstorm a few options with me. 5 stars!"
"Tony and crew were great. The appropriate door was installed beautifully and the fence was fixed better than new. They were prompt, work was done quickly and thoroughly. We are also having him quote on doing our bathrooms and floors. In the quote process he gave recommendations to improve what we want done. This is intended to be a great recommendation."
"Jose did an excellent job. Gave me different options for repairing the door. He even found another issue with my door that he repaired. Jose is very nice, pleasant, courteous. I will continue to use him for other handyman-type jobs going forward. Highly recommended."
Hiring a professional for door repairs ensures they can accurately diagnose and fix issues with precise adjustments. This leads to smooth operation, prevents recurring problems, and can extend the life of your doors.
You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.
Proper door lock maintenance includes keeping the locking mechanism clean and clear of dirt, dust, and grime buildup, lubricating the lock annually, inspecting and tightening the lock regularly, and treating the door with care. If your maintenance reveals problems, it may be time to replace the lock or have a professional inspect it.
There are no strict rules for who is responsible for covering repair costs after a home inspection, as the issue is highly negotiable, except in cases of mandatory repairs. Major issues discovered during the inspection often lead to a renegotiation. The buyer might ask the seller to make the repairs as a condition of the sale, but it is more common for the buyer to use the estimated repair costs as leverage to lower the asking price. The seller may agree to lower the price to compensate the buyer or agree to fix the issues before the sale is complete. However, in a competitive real estate market, a seller might refuse to cover any repairs, knowing that other buyers may be willing to purchase the property as-is.
To keep a door level on an uneven surface, use shims or scraps of underlayment to hold the door level while you attach the hinges. Keep in mind that on an uneven surface, the slope of the floor when open may not be the same as when it’s shut. Use a level to keep from shimming your door too much or too little while attaching the hinges.
