"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."

"This team did a flawless job from Quote to follow up after the project was complete. Costs was reasonable. Projects started and finished on time. They replaced a rotting garage door, installed a brand new door on the opposite side of the garage. Redesigned and installed a small deck and redesigned the deck inside the garage. Installed a light with a switch and the most important thing, a dog door. Thank you to the team that helped throughout the project. I would highly recommend them and will be reaching out for future quotes on home projects."

Doors FAQs, answered by experts

Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this type of door knob may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.

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.

You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.

Adding a doggie door can allow a burglar access to knobs and locks on your door. If your pet door doesn’t come with an alarm, you can add a weight sensor alarm that will trip if anything heavier than your pet enters through it. Adding a motion sensor light to the room your pet door is in can also help deter burglars.

No, exterior doors don’t need to be prehung, although choosing a door that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn’t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it’s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they’re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.
