"I am extremely happy with AJ's service, start to finish. We initially reached out for an estimate at the beginning of 2015. A representative came to our house to explain all the different products as well as pricing and timing. I had reached out to 2 other companies before hand but was not comfortable their high pressure selling. AJ was very patient with us regarding our timing and budget. I received an estimate on the spot and was able to take my time to review and get back to them. We scheduled the work for May and was able to have 7 Windows removed and replaced in only a few hours. We are very impressed with the quick respond time, professionalism and quality of work including cleanup. We plan on using AJ to replace the remaining Windows as well as a sliding glass door in early 2016.

"Taz was great! He responded so quickly when I reached out for a ceiling repair. He was reasonable working within my budget. He was able to get started right away, and completed the project in less than 2 days. He's very personable and easy to talk to. He explained everything he'd need to do so there were no surprises. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone I know looking for home repairs!"

Door Repair FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, you can clean door hinges with vinegar. The cleaner your door hinges are, the less likely they are to cause that annoying squeaking sound. Simply fill a container with equal parts water and vinegar, dip a microfiber cloth in the mixture, and use it to clean the hinges. You can do this while the hinges are connected or remove them, and wash them piece by piece.

While applying a small amount of olive oil to a door hinge may not cause problems, regularly using olive oil or vegetable oil can cause door hinges to become sticky and gummed up over time. Additionally, residue from food-grade products can actually turn rancid.

While cabinet door hinges come in many shapes and sizes, they typically have some adjustment options, so check your hinge design thoroughly. If you find hinges without adjustment screws, they’re often amateur works or very simple constructions. In these cases, you don’t have as many options. You can try unscrewing the hinges and carefully repositioning them with the help of a level to fix cabinet door issues. But it may be easier to replace the hinges entirely rather than go through this tedious process.

Fixing the leaky door frame will require caulking, new weather stripping, or a complete installation of a new door. Even more important is making sure the door is protected from the elements by an awning, entry roof, or roof overhang. This small detail ensures that even a poorly weather-stripped door will fare well in precipitation, except for the rare occasion when strong wind gusts drive rain and snow horizontally. 

Yes, in most cases, a minorly warped door will return to normal once the weather changes or when a new door acclimates to its surroundings. Severe warping may not go back to normal on its own. In these cases, you might want to remove the door, lay it on the ground, and cover it with weights for a couple of days.
