"My front door has been wrong since we moved here two years ago. Now it closes and locks properly. And I loved that he didn’t try to talk us into getting a new door."
"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!"

If you don’t know which door sweep to buy, look into getting a strip or bristle sweep. They’re easy to find at the store, work well for most doors, and the simple installation is DIYable. Before buying one, measure your door width and make sure the one you want is long enough. Most door sweeps are 36 inches long, and you can cut them down to size with a hacksaw.
The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.
It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.
The most common size for an interior door is 80 inches tall and 28 to 32 inches wide. However, a standard interior door can measure anywhere from 24 to 36 inches wide, depending on its intended use and the available space. According to most building codes in the U.S., a door must be at least 80 inches tall and 24 inches wide.
A butterfly hinge—also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge—is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.
The lifespan of your door depends on the door type, its wear and tear, and the weather conditions in your area. For instance, front doors last between 20 and 60 years, depending on the material. Garage doors, on the other hand, last between 15 and 30 years. Interior doors don’t get hit with the elements and can last between 20 and 50 years, if not more.
