"Ross did a great job! Fast communication, excellent explanation of what he could do and why he was charging what he did. Two storm doors and handles installed in just a few hours! He also took the time to call the store for a better door price than what was listed on the website! Highly recommend!"

"Steve Overgard and his team replaced non functioning over sized windows in the house I bought that was partially renovated. These were 9x5 three panel picture windows over looking the water. The team measured, ordered custom windows, and installed them perfectly. They matched the paint color for the wide sill and frame. They completed all the finishing without any blue tags needed. I will use them again."

"A friend of mine recommended Victors company for having the exterior of my house repainted. I call, he answers, came out for an estimate the next day. Started work within two weeks. We have some kind of masonite/wood siding which had some rot damage, a board with a hole and some with no paint. Some window, door and other trim had issues and needed to be replaced. I have to say I'm super impressed with the crews handyman skills, all the fixes were done that you couldn't tell that there ever was an issue. On the previous coat of paint you could see some coverage issues, no issues this time. We switched to a much lighter color, and I know everything got a good coat of paint! All the trim and door was repainted, shutters replaced, edges recaulked. It took the crew almost 5 days including prep and cleanup. All in all, I feel confident that I bought myself another 15 years, and hope Victor is still painting then so I can hire him again :)"

"I'm extremely pleased with the service provided by Jon Stowers for fixing my mailbox. He did an absolutely great job! The mailbox was completely damaged, but now it's perfectly straight, secure, and looks brand new. His work demonstrates excellent skill and attention to detail. He was very courteous and cleaned up after the repair. The entire process was smooth, and the result exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him for his high-quality workmanship and professionalism."

Doors questions, answered by experts

You can use a variety of wood to build a barn door, but the most common options include 1-by boards and 2-by boards for the backing and the decorative boards on the front of the door. Softwoods like pine will save you some money and should hold up well, while hardwoods like maple and oak will stand up to more wear and tear. You could also build the backer out of plywood to minimize the cuts you need to make. Whatever you decide on, make sure the width of the wood is compatible with the mounting brackets you buy.

You can open up more space between the door and the floor by sanding the bottom of the door, but it will take longer compared to using a hand planer. However, you could use a belt sander, which some believe is even better than a hand planer for planing a door. Also, it could leave a smoother finish on the bottom of the door.

To move a couch through a narrow doorway, first measure the couch and the doorway to ensure it will fit. For a close fit, you can create more space by removing the interior door; tap out the hinge pins with a nail and shift the door sideways to remove it from its hinges. You may need to turn the couch on its side or move it in separate pieces, if possible. Using furniture sliders can also help you slide the couch through the doorway.

The width of your door jamb should match your wall thickness exactly, so it depends on your wall. For standard door openings, the width is equal to the width of a 2-by-4-inch  stud, plus the width of the drywall on both sides—about 1/2 inch each—which comes out to 4 9/16 inches. Block walls and framed walls that use 2-by-6-inch framing require a door jamb that’s 6 9/16 inches. You should always measure your finished wall thickness to get an accurate width for your door jamb material.

The proper height for a gate latch is between 34 and 48 inches above the ground. This height will not only be comfortable for you and your family to use, but it’ll also ensure that your latch complies with the International Building Code.

Sometimes one-way latches are installed very high on the gate to make it easier to open, although it’s only easier for tall people. Installing a two-way latch at the proper height is a good idea.
