"Brian and Terry did an excellent job repairing my bathroom door and drywall cracks caused by the force of opening and closing the door. The door now opens and closes seamlessly. Brian even went above and beyond and repaired some holes in my drywall that were not part of the job. (Thank you, Brian!!!) They did a great job cleaning up afterwards, and I would absolutely recommend. I've already passed his contact information to family members who need work completed."

"We initially hired Shukhrat and his team to paint the interior of our house. They very extremely efficient and professional. Their quote was also more reasonable than a number of other contractors we interviewed. Eventually they did a number of other projects in the house including putting up wall paper in one room, replacing all the door knobs in the house, putting up shelves, changing out light fixtures, replacing bathroom vanities etc. Shukhrat worked with us extremely well and was very understanding when plans would change. He has become our go-to man for all our projects. He is respectful, honest, hardworking and does great work."

Doors questions, answered by experts

WD-40 can be used on squeaky door hinges, but it is generally considered a temporary, short-term solution rather than a long-term fix. While it can silence a squeak in a pinch by breaking down rust and grime, it is not a true lubricant, as it contains only a small amount of lubricating oil that evaporates quickly. Using WD-40 alone may lead to the squeak returning and can attract dirt and dust, potentially causing more wear on the hinge over time. For a more effective and lasting solution, it is recommended to first use WD-40 to clean the hinge, then wipe it clean. Afterward, apply a dedicated lubricant such as silicone spray, white lithium grease, a metal or plastic lubricant, or an oil-based product like petroleum jelly.

A door frame is typically 2 to 2.5 inches wider than the door. This additional space accommodates the door jamb and hinges and allows for necessary installation adjustments. For example, if the door is 30 inches wide, the rough opening should be 32 to 32.5 inches wide to ensure a proper fit and smooth operation.

Yes, it is essential that you perform bi-annual maintenance on your bifold doors. This means checking the hardware, cleaning the door and the tracks, and lubricating the locks. Most of this work can be done on your own, but if you wish for a more thorough inspection, you should call in a professional door repair company.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

For most doors, you can use a 1-inch chisel to create the mortise for the strike plate. In addition, you can use a 3/4-inch chisel for more refined cuts and to clean up the edges of your mortise. The smaller tool is handy when squaring off the edges around the hole for your latch.
