"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

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.

You should rekey your house every three years to minimize the chances of someone gaining access to your home. You can do it more than that, but it depends on the level of foot traffic and visitors you get. Businesses, for instance, routinely rekey their locks every six months to a year. If you experience a break-in or a house key has gone missing, rekey the locks immediately. The same goes if your lock becomes damaged.

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.

No, exterior doors don’t need to be prehung, although choosing a door that is prehung makes the installation process far easier. Installing an exterior door that isn’t prehung requires carefully maneuvering the heavy door into place in your door frame, making sure it’s level and plumb on all sides, and then attaching the hinges so that they’re perfectly level and are affixed to the right part of your frame and door. Prehung exterior doors are far more DIY-friendly.

Standard door sizes aren’t one-size-fits-all, but there are common go-to dimensions. For exterior doors—like your front door—36 inches wide by 80 inches tall is typical, though you’ll see 30- or 32-inch widths too, especially in older homes. Interior doors vary more. Bedrooms and bathrooms often use 30- to 32-inch widths, and closet doors can be anything from slim singles to wide bi-folds. Height is usually 80 inches across the board; however, always measure your actual opening. “Standard” only works if it matches what’s already in place.
