My wife was home to meet him for the initial appointment. She showed him to the door, whereupon Dennis proceeded to take measurements of the door and the frame. He then discussed with my wife exactly what we were asking for again, and after he was satisfied, he departed my residence, telling my wife that he would order the door and it would take several days for the door to come in, at which point he would contact us to set up an appointment to install it. Up until this point, nothing seemed amiss, but it was after this point that things went down hill quickly. The next contact we received from Dennis was a text message at 6:49am on Wednesday August 27 saying "7am tomorrow." This text message came without any warning or discussion, and my wife was forced to adjust her work schedule ad hoc to meet his demand, as Dennis stated that he was otherwise completely unavailable to do the job until September 8, nearly 2 weeks later. This was the first "red flag" in a series of incidents. After returning home from work on Thursday, August 28, I immediately came face-to-face with the new frame and door. To my utter surprise, the new door was a full 2" shorter than the original door. After asking my wife what had happened, she retold the story to me about Dennis and the work he had done, as well as how poorly he had treated his crew while on the job. She told me that after the door was in place, she immediately noticed the difference in size and mentioned it to Dennis, who then told her that the door was exactly the same size as the old door. When she asked about what to do about this new 2" gap at the bottom of the door, he told her that it wasn't his problem. He also asked her if we had any water or moisture issues with the old door, to which she replied that on heavy rain days we did indeed have moisture issues at the bottom of the door. He then informed her that she could go to Lowe's to purchase a threshold and a sweep in order to make up the 2" difference. After she retold the story to me, I felt at a loss over the issue, and we proceeded to go to Lowe's to find out what our options were regarding door thresholds and sweeps. As it turns out, Lowe's does not carry a threshold or sweep that will cover the 2" gap at the bottom of the door, and even if they did, we weren't willing to place a 1-2" tripping hazard at the foot of an exterior door. We then returned home and I proceeded to measure the new door. The measurements I recorded were 31 7/8" W x 69 7/8" L. After several attempts to call Dennis and reaching only his voice-mail, we attempted to reach him via text message and discuss the problem and how best to get it resolved. Dennis attempted to provide a number of different solutions, none of which were either viable or acceptable, not to mention the extra cost to purchase these items or to have more labor done. He repeatedly attempted to pass the blame on myself or my wife for his miscalculations and ordering mistakes, as well as his attempts to cover up the poor job by telling us what we should do about it. My wife and I agreed that we were completely unsatisfied with the work and would like to see it redone. Dennis agreed to raise the level of the concrete beneath the door (thus creating another tripping hazard) but he refused to replace the door. After we informed him that that was unacceptable, Dennis proceeded to call my wife's phone and demanded to speak with me. The conversation went something like this: Me: Hello? This is Jerad. Dennis: Listen to me. I'm sick & tired of you people harassing me with all your text messages and phone calls! I'm not going to replace your door! Keep your money and do it your-(explicative)-selves! Me: That's fine---(line goes dead) In conclusion, the door frame that Dennis installed was correctly sized and well done. The only real mistake was the door size. If he had been willing to replace the door slab to its correct size, we would have been willing to pay him full price. As it is, Dennis received the first half of the payment at the beginning, but did not receive the second half of the payment. Mr. Fixit's complete lack of professionalism and blatant disrespect to myself and my wife has led us to the conclusion that Dennis is by far the worst service provider we've ever encountered, and based on how he treats his crew, is also a downright bad person. I've come to find this kind of "customer service" with many of the handymen in this area, and I wish it weren't so.

We were trying to find somewhere to repair the power doors to our minivan. (The doors would only open and close manually.) One door broke several years ago and the other door broke just a couple weeks ago. We have 4 children so trying to juggle taking the car to a repair shop would be very difficult. Just the thought of trying to coordinate around different school schedules/bus stop not to mention we all can't fit in our other car to even drop our minivan off...What a pain!!! SO - It was absolutely amazing to find 356 Automotive who actually COMES TO YOUR HOUSE! My husband and I had never heard of such a service! I was really excited because it made getting my car repaired very, very convenient...and more likely to happen sooner than later! My husband called them for a quote and they scheduled us in for the next day. The appt was for 1 pm. Around that time, the office gave me a courtesy call to let me know the tech was running a little behind and would be there within 30 mins. He did arrive within that time and started work. There was a bit of confusion as to what work was supposed to be performed, but we sorted it all out. I do think it's a true show of character when there are little bumps in the road and seeing how it gets handled. Monty, the owner, was very professional, fair, and straight forward. I really appreciated that. My doors were fixed that afternoon and I was/am a very happy camper! The next day Monty came to replace the lift supports on the trunk door. The cost turned out to be cheaper than previously quoted. They could have easily stuck to the originally quoted amount and I never would have known! Honesty is a great thing to find in a mechanic! If you're looking for uniforms and trucks sporting snazzy logos, you won't find it here! By appearances, it doesn't look like they put a lot into advertising or marketing themselves (plain white truck and it looked like the tech was probably driving his personal car).... but the work surely speaks for itself! Fancy-schmancy isn't always the best....just means more overhead and higher costs for the consumer! I appreciate keeping it real - honest folks and good workmanship! I will definitely call them in the future. House calls are AWESOME! And I really liked dealing with Monty. I was able to ask him questions and he was able to explain things to me - the guy knows his stuff!

They were able to get the doors hung properly even though the cabinets and doors are old, handmade, and less than square in some respects. We had also discovered what I was afraid was a bad leak in our bathroom ceiling. Jeff climbed up on the roof and diagnosed the problem as the flashing around the pipe boot (the pipe for the tub). He sealed all the pipe boot flashing on our roof, and checked the attic to make sure that we were not dealing with a mold problem because of the moisture. I am very impressed with the professionalism, honesty, and quality of service that these guys provide.

FAQs for door repair projects in Southern Pines, NC
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Door installation usually takes three and four hours, including removing the old door and frame, fitting the new door and frame in place, shimming it to make sure it’s perfectly level, and making adjustments to the hinges and locking mechanisms to ensure proper functionality. A door-hanging professional can replace an interior door in between one and two hours. Door installation will take significantly longer if your installer needs to create a wall opening, and it can take less time if the existing door frame remains.
The average cost to install a door is around $1,100, but you could pay anywhere from $150 for a hollow-core interior door installation up to $2,000 or a high-end exterior door installation. There are a few cost factors to consider to get an accurate price, including whether your wall opening exists, the type of door, the quality and security of the door, whether you need to replace the frame, and the door size. You can expect to pay $150 to $700 for a standard 36-by-80-inch door and between $400 and $1,600 for an80-by-48-inch door.
It’s possible to install a door yourself if the wall opening already exists, but the work is rather complicated, and a professional installation is usually well worth the investment. For your door to work and close properly, you’ll need to shim and level the door frame in your wall perfectly, which can be difficult. Additionally, we recommend you always hire a professional door installer to place an exterior door, as mistakes during the installation process can lead to poor security for your home.
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
