Highfield Joinery is a one man operation focusing in high-level historical knowledge and legacy materials, including linseed paint and putty, lime mortar, and high levels of salvage, dutchman repairs, patching, and "re-livening" wood considered unsalvageable. This can save thousands, especially for old doors and window sashes, attics, siding, and porches, while preserving the architectural integrity and therefore curb value others may not be aware of. Because of the age and uniqueness of each task, I use many hand tools which allow the flexibility and detail required, but also encourage the same results and even tool marks as the originals, and can be an absolute value over time as they may last just as long. I has become common to spend a year’s salary on a repair, only to find it failing or aged in just a short while. Our ethos is the opposite: to fix it so properly and accurately that it never needs to be looked at again in your lifetime. As the Originals Were.

"I have hired Eric for multiple furniture repairs/restorations(chairs, server/sideboard, dining table) and he has done an amazing job every time. Iâ ve been hesitant because a lot of antique furniture is just irreplaceable but everything he touches turns out beautiful. If you need someone to repair or restore your furniture, Eric is a 10/10 recommendation!"

Window Door Contractors questions, answered by experts

Yes, if you’re replacing a door slab, it must be the exact size of your existing door. If your new door is too small, you’ll need to purchase a new door to fit or hire a handyperson to make your frame smaller. Or if it's too big, you’ll need to return it or shave it down to fit.

Using force to open a door is not recommended, as this could cause serious injury or permanent damage to your door and surrounding door frame. If it’s a front door that you’ve lost the keys for, it’s better to call a locksmith. If it’s an interior door without any lock that you plan on keeping, a handyman can help. Finally, if it’s an old door that you plan to replace anyway, a professional door installer can remove the stuck door and source a replacement.

You should generally cut between 1/8-inch and 1 inch when planing a door. If you cut off more than that, you risk damaging the door. Planing too much from the bottom of your door can cause noticeable gaps, so it’s always better to start with as thin of a section as possible and work in thin layers until your door no longer sticks.

A barn door needs a bottom track to ensure it operates smoothly and doesn’t get stuck or scratch the floor. This bottom track also keeps the door secure and properly anchored. When installing a barn door with a bottom track, ensure it is six to eight inches off the floor and at least twice as wide as the door. In rare cases, an interior barn door can hang from a top track and slide along the wall. This design doesn’t require a bottom track. 

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.
