"We hired Astro Locksmith to repair our front door lock as it was not latching properly. Lior came out on a Sunday on short notice and was able to diagnose and fix the problem fairly quickly. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional - would absolutely hire again!"
"Bob was able to repair the 3 doors in my home that were not closing correctly. Additionally he had time after the initial repair and was able to fix a few other doors that were also giving me some problems. You can tell by the quality of his work that he is very skilled and experienced."
"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."
"We had several small projects around the house that needed attention, including drywall repairs, bathroom ceiling painting, minor electrical work, exterior siding repair, and fixing a couple of doors. Everything was done professionally and with great attention to detail. The team was friendly, showed up on time, and kept everything clean. It was really nice to have someone who could take care of so many different things in one visit. Very happy with the results and would definitely hire them again!"
"After 20 months a manufacturing defect appeared in my door, I contacted Tom, who checked it out, obtained a warranty replacement door, painted and installed it. I just paid for the paint. Tom really stands behind his work. Again it was a pleasure to deal with Tom."
"We had mold that another company removed. Todd and Dave at Booth Home repair were very professional during the estimate phase and pointed out a few areas the other three contractors did not see. They were punctual, friendly and had a reasonable quote. They started when they said they would, and treated our house as if it were their own. We are more than pleased with their finished work and would recommend them highly."
"We hired Matt to reframe all of the windows in our Holliston home because we were concerned about rot. After re-shingling our dormers where there was water damage, he meticulously worked his way around all 21 windows, adding new trim, insulating them, and sealing them up tight. It looks like a new house! He is punctual, reliable and a great communicator. I can't say enough good things about him. We will definitely be calling East Coast Construction for our next project."
"We had the exterior of the house painted and some carpentry repairs done. Leone was professional to work with, gave helpful advice and responded quickly to emails. His crew was hard-working and professional. We have used Reliant Painting for several projects and have always been happy with their work."
Generally, silicone-based sprays and greases are considered the best options for lubricating door hinges because they offer a long-lasting, easy-to-clean finish that can also help to prevent long-term rust and corrosion. Avoid food-grade oils that can "gum up" hinges or other parts of a door over time.
Misaligned doors, damaged frames, faulty closers, broken locks, and automatic door sensor failures often require repairs.
It's not uncommon for the thermal seal of double-paned windows to break down, but the repair is best left to professionals. The cost to repair a window's broken seal ranges from $70 to $120.
While it may seem counterintuitive, adding moisture to the warped area of a door actually helps to fix it by allowing the wood to expand and contract. Moisture helps loosen the fibers in your door to make them more malleable. This process can help you get the wood back to its original shape.
If your door handle turns without opening, the most likely culprit is a loose or stripped spindle. This part connects the handles to the latch mechanism, and when it’s not properly engaged, turning the handle does nothing. Other issues might include a broken latch, loose screws, or even something small blocking an inner mechanism. In any case, it’s usually a matter of tightening, adjusting, or replacing a worn-out part inside the handle assembly—or calling in a professional to do it for you.
