"Asa is wonderful to work with.  Both times he responded to my initial inquiry the same day.  When he quoted the work, that was the price that the work ended up costing me.  Asa completed the work when he said he would (which was within 2 weeks of my asking him to do so) and it was done well.  The first set of siding he fixed in 2011 is still holding strong.  I will definitely use Asa again when I have other home improvement projects and I highly recommend him.

"Kevin was great, he was very responsive on a Saturday and came to hang a new door for me the next day. The installation was more complicated than I originally anticipated. The hinges, deadbolt and door knob did not align with the existing cut outs. Kevin did a great job making the door look like it was pre-hung on the existing frame."

"Rick finished our unfinished basement by putting up walls, redoing the stairs, putting up a ceiling, adding barn doors, and installing lights and outlets. This was such an important project for my family to give us much-needed space to spend time together and Rick did an amazing job! We had some challenges with finishing the basement and Rick did a fantastic job of offering ideas and suggestions. Rick is very reasonable in his pricing and also very dedicated and has fantastic workmanship. My family and I truly enjoyed working with him and plan to again for any future projects."

"Lance & Michelie were absolutely amazing. They got everything done on my list in record time, were friendly, efficient, helpful and extremely professional. I would hire them again and again for any project! They painted doors, put together furniture, hung photos, large mirrors, installed shades and curtain rods! Items that would have taken me days. I’m very grateful I found them. 5 Stars+"

Doors questions, answered by experts

The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch  stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides—about 1/2 inch each—which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.

Most of the time, a squeaky door is the result of dry hinges, where metal parts rub together without enough lubrication. Dirt, dust, or rust can also build up inside the hinge and add to the friction. Loose screws or slight misalignment can shift things just enough to create that irritating squeaking noise. Worn-out hinges or swelling wood from humidity changes can also be part of the problem on older doors. A good cleaning and proper lubrication usually take care of it, but if the squeak sticks around, it’s worth checking for bigger issues with the hinges or alignment. 

Most modern, standard doors are 1 ⅜-inches thick, so you should aim for this thickness unless you're building a door to replace an antique door or fit into a non-standard wall opening. Thickness varies when installing a pocket door or sliding barn door, so a good rule of thumb is to measure your existing door, if possible. For standard doors, you can also measure from the inside of the door to the door stop to gauge the proper thickness.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

French doors usually have two handles, with one for each door. However, some French doors only include a single door adjacent to a panel of glass that doesn’t open or close. In that case, you’d have a single handle on the door side and no handle on the stationary side.
