"Richard with King's Home Improvement, with new door and window installation did an outstanding job on my back door. From the removal of the old door to the installation of the new door, he made sure the door was level/plumb and that all the margins lined up. He flashed the exterior, installed all the trim and finally painted it. I highly recommend his company!"

"We needed to add a door to close off a living space in the house. Brad came out and gave us some great options, did a fantastic job on the installation, and even came back out for an adjustment to make it perfect. If your project involves a door, this is the guy you want!"

"Very professional, competent and neat. Showed up when he said, finished the projects in a timely manner and cleaned up after himself when done. He took care of replacing some trim, aligning doors, installing hardware, sheetrock work and painted. Allen knew what he was doing and didn't waste any time taking care of the projects."

"Alem came out and fixed door rot on my front door frame. He came out the day after we made contact, expertly fixed my door and completed the job at a very fair price and with a smile on my face. Would definitely hire him again."

Doors questions, answered by experts

You want plenty of room between your pre-hung door and the framing in your wall to allow for shimming to get the door into the perfect position, so aim for about 1 inch on the top and both sides. That means you should make your rough opening about 1 inch taller and 2 inches wider than your pre-hung door. You’ll then use shims to stabilize and level the door before installing it.

Using force to open a door is not recommended, as this could cause serious injury or permanent damage to your door and surrounding door frame. If it’s a front door that you’ve lost the keys for, it’s better to call a locksmith. If it’s an interior door without any lock that you plan on keeping, a handyman can help. Finally, if it’s an old door that you plan to replace anyway, a professional door installer can remove the stuck door and source a replacement.

Wood is more susceptible to damage than metal, and a wood door can benefit from upgraded locks, screws, and strike plates. Additional features like security doors, latch keys, and deadbolts are also a plus. Installing a comprehensive security system will also boost your home’s protection and make you feel safer.

To maintain a door and prevent future issues, regularly clean it, check and lubricate the hinges and locks, inspect the hardware, and check the weatherstripping for signs of wear to prolong its lifespan and functionality.

It’s certainly easier to paint a door while it’s still on its hinges, but you may get better results if you remove it from the hinges. Painting a door off the hinges allows you to work on it horizontally, making prep work easier, reducing drips, and allowing undisturbed drying time.
