"The owner of this business, Greg Jungkuntz, repaired and painted the exterior of my house, which is mostly brick but also has wood siding and lots of windows. I had waited a few years too long to get this done, so there was a lot of repair work on window sills, siding, and trim. It was a big job and required a lot of ladder work. He gives meticulous attention to detail, and is incredibly neat. I am thrilled with the result--as a neighbor observed, the new, brighter color makes the house "pop" from the curb, and stands up to close scrutiny as well. He gave me a very reasonable price for such a big job.

In addition to the exterior painting, he also helped me clean up and re-paint a room in the basement after a leak from a downspout went undetected for too long. I was happy with this work as well.

Painting is his specialty, but he is a reliable, all-around handyman. i call him for all kinds of jobs around the house. He is usually able to take care of things himself, but he will also tell me if something is beyond his expertise. I am happy to highly recommend him."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It can affect security, especially if you don’t finish it properly. A Dutch door has more moving parts that can be compromised, so you’ll want to use solid hardware and make sure everything lines up and locks cleanly. If the latch is flimsy or the two halves don’t sit tight, it’s going to be easier to force open.

Door locks should be changed roughly every seven years. The average lifespan of a door lock is seven to 10 years, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and change them early, especially if they are showing signs of wear and tear. Examples of deterioration include visible rust and difficulty opening or closing the door. Some locks can work safely beyond 10 years, but it depends on how often they are used and whether they are exposed to damaging environmental conditions like precipitation or extreme temperatures.

Newer, electric-powered door locks generally have a life span of five years or less. That’s thanks, in large part, to a phenomenon called planned obsolescence, in which products are programmed to need replacing after a certain amount of time. That’s also why older, manual, push-key locksets can last up to 30 years with regular cleanings and maintenance. When it does come time for a new set-up, know that the cost to change locks ranges from $130 to $500 on average.

Rekeying door locks yourself costs a fraction of what you would expect to pay a locksmith. On average, it costs between $50 to $100 to hire a local locksmith to rekey your house, though labor costs may vary based on where you live. For a DIY solution, you can expect to spend $11 to $25 on a rekeying kit.

The best type of deadbolt depends on your specific needs. If accessibility is your primary concern, a single-cylinder deadbolt is the easiest to operate. Mortise locks are likely the most secure type of deadbolt you can install, but single-cylinders combined with secondary locking mechanisms like vertical locks are also a great option. Smart locks will give you the most flexibility to open and close your locks whenever and wherever you need to.
