"Russ Jr and Frank did an outstanding job installing my windows. The work was outstanding and very professional. Once completed Russ explained how the windows worked. They could not install my door due to some wood rot. They explained what had to be done and why. It was explained to me that once the needed repairs were done, who to contact at Renewal. I have requested they be the crew that installs my door. I was very impressed"

"Dave and Kathy were a great team. During the initial appraisal of the painting project, they made suggestions beyond the scope of what I had originally envisioned. Their suggestions to add lighting in a linen closet, paint ceiling tiles, update light fixtures, change out interior door knobs, etc. far exceeded painting in a two story staircase. The overall project has really updated our home. During the 4 days of the project, we established a mutual beginning time, and the work area was cleaned up at the end of the day. Dave considered making small changes to adhere to building code, such as placement of smoke alarms and height of the stairway handrail. Throughout the project, Dave replaced extra light bulbs, was responsive to adding an additional lighting project in the basement, and had great suggestions for future home improvements. We are extremely happy with the work done by Dave and Kathy, and will definitely look to them for future home improvement projects!"

Doors questions, answered by experts

You can attach the hinges to either the door or the frame first, depending on your preference. The order will not affect how the door hangs or the ease of installation. However, we recommend starting with the top hinge over the bottom one for stability, as it’s much easier to support the door from below while you install the top hinge. It will also be easier to pull the door outward from the hinges as it hangs from the top than it would be to push the door toward the hinges, as there’s less clearance on the lock side.

Most modern door knobs will all fit in standard, modern doors, so if you know your door was made in the last 50 years or so, you should be fine buying a standard replacement door knob. The only exception would be a thumb latch handleset for an exterior door, as this type of door knob may not fit your door without drilling a mounting hole for the bottom of the handle. Antique or custom doors might also have different sizes and knob mounting holes, so call in a professional if you don’t believe your door is a standard one.

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended to shim both sides of a door. Shimming both sides allows you to make minor adjustments for wall framing that isn't perfectly plumb, ensuring the door is level and hangs evenly. This practice helps the door swing open and close smoothly, reduces the chances of the frame warping, and can be used to center the door within the wall opening. If you are working alone, you may find it easier to remove the door slab to lighten the weight while supporting the frame and inserting the shims. With two people, the process is generally faster and easier, whether the slab is left in place or not.

You want a small gap of 1/8 of an inch between the door and the jamb. However, the gap size depends on the direction the door swings and whether it contains glass. You will also want to aim for the same size gap on all sides of the door, so it opens and closes smoothly.

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.
