"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!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, they can enhance insulation by installing weather stripping and ensuring tight seals.

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

The time required for door installation or repair varies. A typical door installation takes between 2 to 6 hours per door. Specifically, installing an interior door can take a professional 1 to 2 hours, while a standard new door installation may take 3 to 4 hours. Repairs are generally quicker, taking 1 to 3 hours depending on the complexity. The process can take significantly longer, potentially a full day, if a new wall opening needs to be created or if the existing frame requires modification.

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.

Very small adjustments can sometimes be made while the door is on its hinges. Be sure to stabilize the door with a doorstop before you begin. Planing the bottom of the door, around the hinges or latch, or planing a large surface should all be done once the door is removed.
