"He had to purchase and hang wire shelves in the laundry room and garage. I was not home and he did a great job talking with me on telephone. My housekeeper was there to let him in. Very professional and friendly. Easy to work with. Would definitely call him again"

"Hello, I don’t usually leave reviews, but Gastin definitely earned one. He came to my home and installed my curtains, shower head, wall sconces, and mounted my mirror, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Everything is perfectly lined up, secure, and looks exactly the way I envisioned it. He came fully prepared with every tool he needed, answered my questions, and even gave me helpful suggestions along the way. You can tell he genuinely knows what he’s doing. would 100% hire Gastin again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who’s honest, respectful, skilled, and takes pride in his work, he’s the person to call."

"Meticulous in his work and reasonably priced. He's talented in a lot of different things, and has great ideas and suggestions. He'll let you know if a project is out of his scope of ability and point you in the right direction, but anything he has said he is able to do, I've been happy with. He operates with integrity and honesty, you really don't come across that very often these days."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Spacing a door is tricky since you need to leave enough of a gap for the door to move freely and not get stuck when the slab and frame contract and expand in dry and humid conditions. The ideal gap between a doorframe and slab is 1/8 of an inch. If the gap is any larger, the door will feel drafty. But if the gap is any smaller, the slab can get stuck due to weather changes.

If you have a sticky door in the summer, the culprit is likely humidity. Humidity can cause wooden doors to swell due to the high moisture levels in the air. A quick fix is to open doors throughout your home to improve air circulation and lower the moisture in your air. A longer-term solution is to use dehumidifiers and ceiling fans.

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.

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.

While spring and summer’s temperate weather can make the project more pleasant and give you more daytime hours to start and complete it, there’s otherwise no advantage to framing a door in spring or summer versus fall and winter.
