"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!"

"A true professional. Repaired the pocket door and made very certain we were pleased with his work. Another company repaired the same door two years ago and we were not completely satisfied with their work. I am totally pleased this time around."

"Carlos, Jason and Mario did an excellent job replacing my attic door. Price was agreed upon before they did the work. On the day of the work they showed up promptly. I really appreciated how they kept everything clean and made sure I knew how to operate the attic door and was satisfied before painting and trim work."

"Screen Medics visited my home, along with several other contractors for a project to screen our covered patio. From the beginning their team approach was impressive. Their web site is informative, fully lays out your options and describes their process and materials. During the site visit their professional discussed our ideas, needs, and desired outcome and presented options for our project. The quote we received was timely and the price was much lower than other options while moving us from wood to an all aluminum structure. We had lots of questions and their team of Heather and Rich were amazing. At one point we had concerns about permits and home owner association approval and they obtained confirmation from our local city inspector office that no permit was required, where the other companies would not discuss permits or charged a flat fee for permits, even though they were not needed. We set a date and then they were flexible as we adjusted based on the HOA approval date. On the day of our installation a father and son team arrived with all the materials needed for the screening. The father was experienced and his son displayed the attention to detail that comes from proper training and development. They worked through the day and encountered a few issues based on the patio and support structure of our supports. They solved those, but approaching darkness required them to return the next day and finished in a very short time before moving onto the next job. Our results with the full aluminum frame construction including the pickets, the quality of the screening and the excellent door to the back yard were outstanding. We have been using this new outdoor space extensively and really appreciate the Screen Medics professional approach throughout the process. We would recommend them for any screening project."

"Highly recommend. I had several repairs needed around my house. Gault met with me within one day, carefully reviewed all of my items, and provided thoughtful perspectives. I expressed that one repair was particularly urgent and Gault worked with me to have the work performed the very next day. The work was done with very high quality and professionalism. I am very satisfied and look forward to potential future engagements. The urgent work we had done was replacing a load bearing 6x6 leg on my screened-in porch."

Doors questions, answered by experts

Barn doors do not always require a bottom track, especially if a high-quality top track is used to stabilize the door. However, a bottom track is often recommended to ensure the door operates smoothly, prevent it from scratching the floor, and keep it from pushing inward or outward, which could cause damage. A bottom track also keeps the door more secure and properly anchored. In some cases, an interior barn door can hang solely from a top track without a bottom guide. If you do install a bottom track, it should be placed six to eight inches from the floor and be at least twice as wide as the door.

When choosing between an inward- or outward-swinging door, there’s no right answer. Inward-swinging doors are great for avoiding debris and keeping hinges inside for added security. Alternatively, outward-swinging doors can give you more space inside your home, and some homeowners feel they’re harder to force open. Ultimately, neither is “better,” but a door expert can help you figure out which fits your needs.

The vast majority of hinges are symmetrical, and either side of the hinge can go on the door or the frame. Occasionally, you'll find a hinge specifically made for right or left-handed doors with different attachment hardware or larger plates on one side. In most cases, the large side of the hinge goes on the frame.

It is possible to install hinges backward, so be careful when placing them. Position the hinge so that the hinge pin faces the direction the door will swing. For example, if you're standing on the side the door will open into, the pin should be visible. Be extra careful when installing exterior doors, as placing the hinges on the outside for an outward-facing door makes your home much easier to break into.

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.

Yes, you can absolutely install an exterior door yourself, and installing a prehung exterior door requires few tools. However, exterior doors are heavy and bulky, and any mistakes during the installation process could have severe consequences, like a lack of security in your home, an increased risk of water getting in and causing damage, and an increased risk of pest infestation. It’s definitely possible to install an exterior door yourself, but it’s often a good idea to have a professional do it for you.
