"If you need a door repaired, hire Dexter. He was absolutely professional from start to finish, incredibly humble, and his pricing was more than fair. He diagnosed the issue quickly and fixed it right the first time without trying to upsell me on anything unnecessary. Honest, high-quality work is hard to come by—I will definitely be calling him again if I need anything else."

"I very much recommend this contractor! Answers fast, gives extremely fair prices, gives fast appointments AND the show up on time! They are very polite and nice. They also clean up the station after they’re done! I find them reliable, quality work and fairly priced. They also work as long as they need to. For our house they: Fixed the window frames outside because the mortar was broken or eroded and when it stormed outside, it rained inside our house. They changed rotten wood, painted it, cemented places in the brick wall that needed it, put mortar/caulk and sealed 4 windows from the outside. The other project was putting bifold closet doors which included cutting them to size, installing the hardware, and painting them. This was the first time I’ve had to hire someone to fix things around the house that I couldn’t, and I was really nervous. I’m grateful I found Chapin Handyman LLC through Angie’s list! Oh! And they are insured and bonded, too!"

"We contracted with Vazquez and Son to paint an apartment unit and complete a list of repairs and other items after a tenant move-out.  We have to agree with other Angie’s List reviewers that their costs seemed a bit high particularly when we realized the quote was for labor only. However, because of the positive Angie’s List comments and because they were able to begin within a few days, we proceeded.  We did receive an Angie’s List discount.  Luis and his crew were very friendly, responsive, punctual, polite, and they completed the work ahead of schedule.  Overall, we were satisfied with their work."

"Not the greatest results - I have used this company before and been very pleased. They were pricey, but the quality of the work was worth it. This was not the case this last time. The technician cracked the door jamb in two places while replacing the door, left paint splatters on the floor and on the side of the door which was not supposed to be painted and messed up the handset on the door. He did repair most of these issues (the paint splatters I cleaned up myself with paint thinner), but since he worked by the hour I ended up paying for that too."

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

Wood putty is an effective solution for repairing holes in wood doors, especially stained ones. For stained doors, it is crucial to match the putty color to the existing finish, as it's difficult to match new stain to old stain. You can buy putty that matches your door's color or blend different shades for a perfect match. For larger holes, you can first fill the void with spray foam and then apply wood putty over it. Another option for large holes is to use spray foam and spackle, and then paint the entire door for a uniform, fresh appearance. If the hole is very large, particularly in a hollow core door, replacing the door may be the most practical solution.

The cost to remove an existing exterior door and close up the opening ranges from about $2,000 to $2,600. This cost includes removing the door and building a wall in the opening, and then installing siding and paint to finish it off. Consult a door installer with the specific details and measurements of your exterior door to get an accurate estimate of the project price.

Longer screws can make a door more secure, but this isn’t a foolproof method for security. Replacing the short screws in your door’s strike plate with screws that are 3 inches long will make it much more difficult for an intruder to force entry by kicking down the door, but it won’t do anything to stop them from picking the lock. 

A door swells up when there’s a lot of moisture in the air. Wood doors are porous, and the elements can cause them to expand with humidity and contract with dry air. Prevent swelling by coating the door in weather-resistant paint, which creates a barrier to seal out moisture. Otherwise, go with a water-repellent finish after the fact. On the plus side, this problem will go away once the weather changes.

You can cut a door knob off using a sawzall, but you risk causing additional damage to the door itself. You’ll also need to completely replace the door knob, costing you extra money and another trip to the hardware store.
