Laborer we hired did a great job of removing old siding and getting ready for contractor to install windows, siding. Wife took list to local vendors and purchased siding, front door and windows per contractors direction. Wife assumed that once materials were delivered that project would begin, approximately mid July. Contractor said he couldn't start until Aug 1st, a delay of 2 weeks. Wife gave initial deposit 1/3 in May. Workers came out to install support (2 x 12's) for new electrical service. Support was actually made up of pressed board door wrapped with aluminum. Both wife and electrician objected to construct of support. (press board absorbs water), contractor pushed her to accept item despite her objections. She said she didn't want this but he would not remove it. Other workers came out to fix separating seams on front porch roof. Wife continued to complain about wooden support as electrician refused to install service on it. Support was installed incorrectly as it was too close to window to allow install of shutters. Large storm came through mid July which caused extensive internal water damage to finished ceiling on 2nd and 1st floor due to lack of siding and windows removed in preparation for job. Wife called and asked for help to stop further damage but "he was too busy to assist". She ended up calling on help from neighbors to stop immediate damage and cut out damaged drywall on ceilings to prevent mold growth. I was out of the country and could not help. Since wife had to get another contractor to help prevent further damage and provider was both unresponsive and unwilling to replace wooden support for electrical meter, she became very angry and FIRED him. Wife said she would pay for work that had been completed. Neighbor even remarked that he had never seen her so angry. Provider was not happy about this and left the wooden support for electric meter in place. Wife had to hire additional contractor to de-install support and replace with pvc based support that would not rot and allowed clearance for shutters. Received bill in amount of $825.00. $350 labor, $250 material (roof repair) and $225.00 for 2x12 support that was actually press board door. Provider returned deposit less $825.00 for bill. Wife complained about cost since it was double the estimate for roof repair and the wooden support that she did not want had to be removed. Wife said she would only pay $200.00 for what they did. Provider told her he would refund $625.00. A month later, no check, wife called office but her calls were ignored. No refund was received. When I returned in Sept I contacted provider who called me and said that he was not going to refund any monies and that the $825 was actually a discount based on the amount of time he took to do the estimates. Of course their website says estimates are FREE. Had I been here this never would have happened. The roof repair (seams) were unnecessary. An edge lap seam was coming up that only required to be glued down again. I would not have allowed them to put up press board door on the exterior of a house regardless of how many years one claims to have been doing it. I feel my wife was taken advantage of and promises were made that were not fulfilled. I cannot in good faith recommend this provider for any type of service. Thankfully my wife terminated the contract before any substantial work was done and my financial loss with this debacle was minimal.

Now, it works perfectly and is much quieter than before. Mike, one of the owners, was awesome. He came out a couple of times to do the estimate and complete the work, which required three trips- once to work on the spings and cables, once to install the weather-stripping, and once to install some wood along the base of the garage door to get the weather-stripping to go all the way down to the ground. As I said, it was a very old garage door system. For the estimate, Mike walked us through everything, explaining exactly what was needed and why. He was on time, called when he was on the way, and a very nice gentleman. He even offered to set up the transmitter in my car to open the garage door for me. Heather, the office manager, always returned calls promptly and helped us schedule the work. We will definitely call them when we are ready to replace the garage door.

This was our third experience with Homerite and they did their usual amazing job. Previously we hired the company to replace a French door (with a modern sliding glass door) and subsequently had them install new windows. I wouldn't go anywhere else for windows and doors. The quality of the...

"The company goes out of their way to ignore reviewing HOA policy. They installed doors that were not up to code based on HOA policy.

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
