"We contacted Evan and Mike from Bayside Home Services to remodel our bathroom. Mike came out and gave us a very reasonable quote that included gutting the entire bathroom and replacing the tub with a shower unit, replace the toilet and vanity. They also reworked the plumbing and the sewer lines. We were very impressed at the quality of work they performed. They completed the project in a timely manner, cleaned up afterwork and were professional in every respect. Mike is excellent with communication. We were informed almost every day on the progress of our project. We will be using Bayside Home Services in the future and would highly recommend them for your home improvement project."

Using shims like this will center your door in the wall opening and allows you to make small adjustments to get your door plumb and level for smooth operation. Your shims and the gap they fill will be covered when you install door trim, so don’t worry too much about the appearance.
A butterfly hinge—also known as a surface mount hinge or dovetail hinge—is exactly what it sounds like: a hinge that resembles a butterfly. This type of decorative hinge, which is mounted on the surface of a door or cabinet, consists of two panels. One panel is mounted on a stable surface like a door frame and the other is mounted on the surface you need to open. It hinges open and closed like the wings of a butterfly.
You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.
