"It went well and he did an excellent job installing my gazebo and pool. This equipment had been sitting in my garage for a year so I decided to give Angie's List another try the first time I had a contractor last year didn't show. Steven was polite and professional and I will be using him again for all of my upcoming jobs."

"Tim was fantastic! He was helping us do some repairs based on an inspection report we had. He simply reviewed the inspection report and gave me an estimate based on that and the pictures in the report which was awesome because I didn't have leave work to be present for another appointment or move anything around he just took care of it. He was able to work around our schedules and made time to come out quickly even during the busy holiday season. We even had to cancel at one point and put the repairs on hold for a couple of weeks and when we called back to reschedule, he was out within the week! He was reasonably priced and brought all of the materials needed to do the work so we didn't have to go out and buy anything and try to figure out what was needed. He came when he said he would be there and it only took him a few years. The repairs were all pretty different from one another and he knew how to repair all of them. He even gave us ideas on possible repairs for a couple of other things while he was there. We are trying to move and sell our house and it has just been crazy the last couple of months. It was so nice having a vendor that was just easy to communicate with, always gave responses and stuck with his estimate. I felt like I was bugging him at times and he was always patient. He came and was done in a couple of hours. We may even have him come out to do some other things before our move! I would definitely recommend him to anyway needing handyman services! Thanks Tim!"

"My call was returned the same day. Jon came by to look at the job, and he decided to get started on it right away. He did all the prep work and returned two days later to finish the job . Jon is very professional, explained the repair, and cleaned up after the first day so we wouldn't be inconvenienced. He also cleaned up after completing the job. His work exceeded my expectations."

"Matt was professional, arrived on time, and gave a fair price for all work performed. He performed the entire job (dry wall installation, trim repair, and painting) himself. He communicated well throughout the process and was happy to explain any work he did. He says he won't do anything that he wouldn't do in his own home, and cares about the customer's happiness over getting the job done quick."

"Brian did such an amazing job! We hired him on two occasions. The first was to install a faucet in our new home and about a year later Brian helped us install an in-wall AC unit in our sunroom after our original one died unexpectedly. He showed up on time, is reasonably priced and seems very knowledgeable and experienced in home improvement and maintenance issues. He also has a great attitude. Would definitely use him again and you should too!"

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.

A heat source close to the door can help reduce its swelling. However, this will only work in the case of minimal swelling. Sometimes, you can simply wait for the weather to change, but your best option is to prevent the swelling in the first place. Coat the door with weather-resistant paint or a water-repellent finish.

As long as you do it carefully, you can sand and restain hollow core doors. However, it’s risky because the veneers on hollow core doors are so thin that sanding and restaining might cause damage to the doors. If you do move forward with this project, sand the doors lightly with a medium-grit sandpaper.

The decision to repair or replace a door depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the cost of the repair, and whether it's an interior or exterior door. A repair is often the best route for minor issues, such as problems with hardware like locks or hinges. However, for more significant damage—like a large hole, damage near the hardware, or any issue that prevents the door from closing or locking properly—replacement is a better investment, as these problems can compromise your home's security. It's also useful to consider the door's location. Damage to interior doors typically doesn't threaten security, so a repair or partial replacement can be a good way to save money. For exterior doors, damage can be a security risk, making a full replacement the safer option, especially if the door frame is also damaged. To determine the best course of action for your specific situation and budget, it is recommended to consult a door repair specialist or installer.

While applying a small amount of olive oil to a door hinge may not cause problems, regularly using olive oil or vegetable oil can cause door hinges to become sticky and gummed up over time. Additionally, residue from food-grade products can actually turn rancid.
