"Tito responded promptly. He did fantastic work. My wooden porch threshold was rotted out, and needed replacement with a more durable threshold. Tito is honest, personable, and hard working. I highly recommend Better Dayz Handyman Services."
"Bob did a great job replacing the interior bedroom door. He was prompt, took care of everything, and even painted the door after installation. I would definitely hire again!"
"Mo built this custom shed door from scratch, stained it and installed it all in one day! He’s a great guy and gave me an awesome price. Looking forward to bringing him back for more projects and recommending him to my neighbors."
"Jonathan, Joe and the entire crew did a fantastic job replacing our back porch and several other projects throughout the house. Communication was excellent addressing all of our questions and providing great input. They efficiently completed all the jobs and remained on budget. Quality is outstanding and we are very happy with the results. Highly recommended."
"Berty did a fantastic job! Very knowledgeable, he advised us as to the best options for our project in our budget and we are glad we listened to him. Very professional! He arrived on time, completed the project on time as promised. Was understanding when we needed to change the date and was able to work around our schedule. Very neat, the kitchen was left clean, did a good job sealing off the room so other rooms would not be affected by dust. Pleasant to work with and a reasonable price for the quality of work. We will never go to another plasterer for our future renovation needs. The walls and ceiling look amazing! We had another contractor come in to look at another project and the first thing he said when he saw Berty's work was "Well you got someone who knew what they were doing!" My husband said he wishes he were around to see how he did it, the walls and ceiling were so uneven to start and when he was done everything was so even. They look beautiful now! He did an awesome job! Highly recommend! If you want a job well done, call Berty now! "
"Ed and Bob were incredibly detail oriented from design to implementation. Very high quality solution done in a short time period - worked within the confines of my very old home and did the work with lots of care not to disturb existing structure. Extremely professional work (end of day tools kept neatly, no trash, very organized job) and clean. Highly recommend for french drain or basement drain systems."
"I live in Framingham and I needed my front storm door replaced.
Terrence from Storm Door Pro responded right away when I requested help through Angi’s.
He was very professional and provided several options of doors.
Terrence followed up with me regarding the status of my order and the installation went very well.
I highly recommend Storm Door Pro."
"They installed some windows and vinyl siding on my home. They were very professional, communicative, paid great attention to detail, and left the work site clean. Definitely worth the investment."

The difference between a mortise latch and a tubular latch is how they're mounted. A mortise latch has a single integrated lock body. One long rectangular space is cut into the door to contain it. A single keyhole is used to unlock both the dead bolt and latch from the outside. A tubular latch is a standard setup with a dead bolt separate from the regular spring bolt latch.
A slab door is a standalone door without a frame or hardware. A prehung door is a complete set that includes the door, frame, hinges, and sometimes the doorknob and lockset.
In most cases, a prehung door is the better and easier option to install, especially for DIY projects or exterior applications, as they often come pre-weatherproofed. They require fewer tools and less experience to install properly. Although prehung doors are heavier and have a higher upfront cost, the investment is often worthwhile for a complete upgrade that includes a new frame.
A slab door may be a better choice if you are on a tight budget, have a custom-sized wall opening, or only need to replace the door while keeping the existing frame. While the initial cost is lower, you will need to purchase all the hardware separately and do more DIY work to hang it, which may not result in significant time or money savings.
Permits are required when carrying out any structural work, so in most cases, you will need a building permit to cut through a concrete block wall to install a door. If you have specific questions about your project or need to obtain a permit, contact your municipal building department or ask your contractor for advice.
Barn doors do not always require a bottom track, especially if a high-quality top track is used to stabilize the door. However, a bottom track is often recommended to ensure the door operates smoothly, prevent it from scratching the floor, and keep it from pushing inward or outward, which could cause damage. A bottom track also keeps the door more secure and properly anchored. In some cases, an interior barn door can hang solely from a top track without a bottom guide. If you do install a bottom track, it should be placed six to eight inches from the floor and be at least twice as wide as the door.
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.
