"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 questions, answered by experts

Minor repairs like replacing seals or tightening hinges can be DIY-friendly, but glass replacements should be handled by professionals to ensure safety and proper installation.

There are a few reasons why your storm door won’t close when the front door closes. One possible explanation is that there’s air trapped between the two doors. If your door has a glass insert, try cracking it open slightly for better circulation. 

Alternatively, there might be an issue with your storm door closer. If you have a hold-open washer, make sure to slide it all the way toward the hinges before shutting the door. You can also try adjusting the tension on the closer.

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.

If part of the key is protruding out of the lock, you can use a pair of needle-nosed pliers or tweezers to gently turn the key in the lock to open the door. If the key is fully inserted into the lock, you may also be able to use a key extractor to help turn the key into the unlocked position. 

But if the key breaks off halfway into the lock or you simply can’t reach it to help engage the unlocking mechanisms, you should probably call a professional.

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.
