"If you need a handyman or contracting in general, call Sal. He and his crew are amazing. We had a lot of different type of work to do and we needed a company we can rely on for all. From the beginning, I could tell we were in great hands. We did demo, reconstruction, door replacement, plumbing and more. Sal was fair with pricing and held to all of his commitments. As with any renovations, we ran into a few pre-existing items that weren't immediately visible and not only did Sal not flinch, he was reasonable with pricing / timing. If you need something done and you need someone you trust, Sal is your person."

"RTS Services was great! Carlos not only performed the repairs/renovations I needed, but also did an extra item for me that wasn't on the original list. He and his team were on time, reasonably priced, efficient and clean! I will definitely be engaging RTS for the other projects on my list as well as recommending them to family and friends."

"David did an outstanding job replacing our patio steps and totally refinishing and painting the inside and outside of our screened in patio. He was so professional and worked so hard that we knew we had made a great decision to hire him. We would highly recommend him to anyone else. We liked them so well we’re going to have him redo our front doors."

Doors questions, answered by experts

You should prime interior doors before painting for the best results. If you do paint directly on the wood, you could see some of the grain patterns show through the paint, in which case you’d need to apply additional coats. Priming the surface before painting will reduce the number of coats and can better cover the grain pattern for a clean, finished look.

Steel doors last the longest, sometimes upwards of 100 years. Fiberglass comes in second, with a lifespan of 70 years. Wood doors have the lowest lifespan, with some wood types only last 20 to 40 years.

Most slab doors do not have hinge cutouts, making them a complete blank slate. You will have to measure and cut the mortises yourself. You can order a slab door from a home improvement store and ask them to make the cuts, although you still have to take the measurements independently.

A door sill is the bottom portion of your door frame, while a threshold is the transition piece that separates the two types of flooring between rooms, or serves as the transition between the interior and exterior on an exterior door. The threshold sits on top of the door sill. A kick plate is a protective plate that sits against the face of a door to prevent damage to the door from feet and shoes. You’ll usually only find kick plates on exterior doors, while every door has a door sill, and most exterior and interior doors have a threshold.

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.
