"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!"
"We called Tom to repair an old wooden front door that we really love and don't want to replace. He responded very promptly, scheduled us for only two days later. The work he and Andre completed was great, very reasonably priced, done in a timely and efficient manner. We will certainly have him back for other projects."
"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."
Inspecting your storm door regularly is important to catch any issues early and ensure its proper functionality. It's recommended to perform a thorough inspection at least once every season. This means you should check your storm door for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction approximately four times per year—during spring, summer, fall, and winter.
To reset cabinet doors, start by loosening the hinge screws slightly. Align the door properly with the cabinet frame, ensuring even gaps around the edges. Tighten the screws to hold the position. If the door is still misaligned, fine-tune the alignment by making small adjustments. Afterward, ensure the door opens and closes smoothly.
You should only plane no more than 5 to 6 millimeters off of a door’s surface unless manufacturer’s instructions indicate otherwise. More than that, and you could compromise the surface of the door. If you have to trim off a large amount, it’s likely that your door is the wrong size and should be replaced.
The door jamb is one part of the door frame, which means you can sometimes replace or fix the door jamb without replacing the frame. However, check the frame for damage before you work on the door jamb. If there’s damage to the frame, you’ll need to fix that before repairing or replacing the door jamb.
To maintain a door and prevent future issues, regularly clean it, check and lubricate the hinges and locks, inspect the hardware, and check the weatherstripping for signs of wear to prolong its lifespan and functionality.
