"Tom did a great job replacing two exterior doors at a very fair price. Tom was very good with communication and even came out when I had some questions on the project. He was able to come out and complete the project right away. Highly recommend his company."

"I have used Handyman Pros a number of times for large and small jobs around my house and have been most pleased with their fast response and excellent work. I was very impressed with their immediate response to my request for a railing at my side door to be installed with only a 48 hour notice. I highly recommend Handyman Pros!!"

"We used Eric and his team to give our house a complete face-lift...new kitchen, new bathrooms, wood floors, new doors, window framing, painting, can lights...I'm sure there is more that I am forgetting. They did AMAZING work! Eric and his guys are professional, the communication was great, the finishing touches elite, and the job was finished on the date he said it would be done (which is unheard of). I recommend Eric to all of my friends and I will continue to use him for projects that come up in our house."

Doors questions, answered by experts

You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.

If you took measurements of the door and can’t find the correct size in the store, you may need a custom-size screen door. Many door manufacturers produce doors fit-to-size using individualized dimensions. Another option, if the door opening is smaller than standard, is to have the door frame opening cut larger to accommodate a standard-sized door.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

You have several options when choosing the best lumber for your door jamb. Pine is the most common material due to its resistance to swelling. Fir is strong and durable. You could also go with birch or alder. Any wood with a tight grain will work for this project.

If your patio door is worn and outdated, replacing it could be well worth the money—especially if you plan to sell your home anytime soon. An updated patio door will catch the eye of potential buyers, while a dingy one with peeling paint will likely be off-putting. A new patio door can also improve your home’s security, lower energy costs, and decrease the noise from outside. Ultimately, your choice will come down to the current state of your patio door and your replacement budget.
