"Jim is a really nice guy who knows his stuff. We have had him multiple times **to install a replacement lock on our patio door, replace outdoor shutters, install new outdoor light fixtures and replace our address plaque**. We are having him back in the fall to replace some window panes with cracked seals. Our jobs have been small, but he has done complete home remodels, so his knowledge and experience are huge. As for his pricing, he is extremely fair and honest!"

"Paul, is a great guy, works quickly but carefully and cleaned up very thoroughly when he was done with the work. The plaster work finally being done has given me a refreshed outlook and feeling for my place. The damage having been done several years ago by a plumber who put a 4" plug in a 5" hole, from which he had removed a 5" plug to start with."

"Marc had excellent follow through, called when he said he would, was on time. Gary was the more technical expert and was very knowledgeable about how to do the work. They were very respectful when here as well as pleasant to work with. They made sure the completed work was good before they were finished. The project took longer than expected, but they stayed focused and honored the quoted price. I recommend them for any door install and cabinet remodel. I also think they would be qualified for other projects too. They did not rush just to get done, but cared about doing a great job and then cleaned up too!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

The lock block will either be built-in on the side of the door or run from the top to the bottom. Usually, there is a marking that indicates its location. You can also tap the door with the back of a screwdriver to find the lock block like you would find a stud in a wall.

The best material for a patio door depends on several factors, including your budget, local climate, and priorities like style, security, and maintenance. Wood offers a classic, high-end look but requires regular upkeep. Vinyl is a popular choice as it's affordable, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance, making it a durable option for active households. Fiberglass is another durable material that stands up well to heavy use. For superior security, steel is a low-maintenance option, though with fewer design choices. Finally, lightweight aluminum makes doors easy to open and close, which is ideal for homes with children. The right choice balances durability, aesthetics, ease of use, and the amount of maintenance you're willing to perform.

Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when installing a pocket door or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.

To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.

As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it’s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.
