"Hugo and his guys are fantastic. They are very easy to work with, do a great job and are reasonably priced. We are remodeling a mother-in-law suite and Bautista Bros installed about 200 sq ft of roll vinyl that we purchased from them, as well as removing the existing door and installing one we bought at Lowe's as well as putting in a garage door opener that we also bought at Lowe's. Then a new 14x28' deck was built and its beautiful. We couldn't be happier. We've gotten other quotes for future jobs but haven't completed them yet."

"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."

Doors questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Many doors can be cut to size, but it depends on the door material. Solid wood doors are relatively easy to trim to a specific size, while hollow core and metal doors are trickier and can usually only be shaved down a little before you risk damaging them. If your door needs a lot of adjustment, it's best to order a custom size or have a pro do the resizing to make sure it holds up over time.

The lock block will either be built-in on the side of the door or run from the top to the bottom. Usually, there is a marking that indicates its location. You can also tap the door with the back of a screwdriver to find the lock block like you would find a stud in a wall.

The best material depends on what’s more important to you: Cost? Durability? Looks? Steel cellar doors are tough, water-resistant, and heavy, while fiberglass or composite doors can give you the outdoor aesthetics you crave. Most people favor steel because of its strength against storms, but steel is also one of the more costly options.
