made use of his excellent carpentry skills. One of those jobs was to make major repairs to my front porch. Paul replaced a large section of the porch floor, he replaced one of the steps, and he strengthened the supporting structure. (I live in a 100-year-old Victorian with a front porch that spans the entire width of the house.) Another reviewer described Paul as meticulous, and I agree; but Paul also brought great intelligence to the planning and execution of the project. His meticulous attention to detail was a bonus that was a pleasure to see. A second project was to replace the sort of cellar door that is outside many old Victorian homes. (The door is positioned on a slant so that when you lift the door, you walk down a short flight of steps to a vertical door that gives access to the basement.) Sounds simple, but it took great ingenuity to create what I asked for. I wanted a wooden entrance because it's more in keeping with the age of the house (as opposed to a steel door that I could have purchased at Home Depot or Lowes.) I wanted to spend less than one of the steel doors would have cost. I wanted the entrance to be attractive. And I needed the cellar door to be light enough for a 100-pound female to lift. Paul did all that (he solved the weight problem by building two slanted doors that meet in the center) and more. One bonus (I didn't think to ask for this) was a set of latches underneath the doors so that the cellar doors can be locked from inside. Plus, the entire structure is more attractive than I could have imagined—once again due to Paul's creativity and meticulous execution. Paul completed several smaller jobs as well (basement steps repair, new back door threshold, kitchen door repair)--in each case making use of his superb carpentry skills, his intelligence, his creativity, and his meticulous attention to detail.

Door Repair questions, answered by experts
Yes, barn doors can be too heavy, although the limitation is usually imposed by the mounting hardware you buy and not your home’s framing, unless you’re building an unusually wide door. To keep the weight down, you can opt for 1-by material rather than 2-by material, and choose a softwood like pine rather than a hardwood like maple or oak. Check the weight limits on your mounting hardware, and always attach your door track to studs rather than to drywall anchors.
An interior French door should last you anywhere between 30 and 50 years, while an exterior French door unit will last around 15 to 30 years on average. Exactly how long your French doors last depends on the quality of the materials you choose, with vinyl doors lasting far less time than fiberglass, metal, and clad-wood doors. Upgrading to shatterproof glass can also improve the lifespan of exterior French doors.
First, determine what is causing the issue. If the doorframe was improperly installed without a consistent width from top to bottom, you’ll need to contact a door installer to install a new doorframe. If loose or missing screws are causing the issue, you can fix the problem with a few turns of a screwdriver. Other problems require removing the door and supporting it in the proper place with shims while you reinstall it.
In some cases, you can repair a cellar door instead of replacing it. Whether you can fix it depends on how severe the damage is. For instance, if you have a leaky cellar door, you can repair it by adding weather stripping and caulking it. You would need to fully replace it for more extensive problems, like rot due to severe water damage. A pro can help you determine whether you can repair your bulkhead door.
Dirt, debris, moisture damage, and damaged rollers can all make a sliding door difficult to open and close. Keeping the door tracks clear of any loose material and making sure rollers are clean and well lubricated can help keep your door opening and closing smoothly. Clean out the tracks and rollers and use a silicone-based lubricant once a month to ensure your door is working properly.
