"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 install a steel door without replacing the frame, depending on the condition of your existing doorframe. If the current frame is in good condition, a steel door that’s the same size as your current door should fit the frame. However, if the frame is damaged, warped, or not properly aligned, it’s better to replace both the door and the frame. This way your steel door will be more secure and offer better insulation.

If you have a handyperson or general contractor whose work you know and trust, they can definitely be the right call for the job. Adding weather stripping and sealing doors are tasks that fall perfectly within the handyperson’s standard remit—and installing the awning shouldn’t be a stretch for most contractors and handypersons either. 

If you have difficulty locating contractors who specialize in this level of door and window repair, you might start looking at trusty referrals for a local handyperson or experienced general contractor. 

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.

Your door sweep should be replaced every three years or sooner if it’s in poor condition. Signs it’s time to replace your sweep include visible damage or an increase in cold drafts. This is also a good time to redo the weather stripping on the door, which should also be replaced every three years.

You put shims between the three-sided frame to which the door hinges are attached and the framing of the rough wall opening. Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you install door trim, so don’t worry too much about the appearance.
