"It all started out well after purchase of the initial Angie's list deal.  We promptly agreed on a date and a gentlemen came to measure and start the paperwork. Install date was set for 11/5/15. On 11/4, I was called about setting an install date.  My response was I already had one for the next day. Long story short, the company did not bother to tell me they had cancelled my appointment, they just acted like I never had one.  It was as though one side of the business did not know what the other side was doing. Since I made arrangements to be home on the 5th, I was not happy.  We finally settled on the 12th and the installation went smoothly enough.  However after completion, I noticed the installers had broken a piece of moulding in front of the patio door.  I know they realized they cracked it because they used clear caulk as a fix. I called the company and they said they would replace.  As of 11/30, the moulding still has not been replaced even though I was told the installer was picking up molding on 11/17.
I will say the person who came to measure and the lady who did the follow-up calling were professional. However, I can't say the same for the install side. The contact person was nice enough but he did not contact me to say the install was cancelled and to me it's taking way too long to replace the molding the installers broke.  I view it as a lack of integrity to cover up breaking the piece and not bothering to say anything to me.  The patio door is beautiful and I had planned to purchase a front door from them but have changed my mind.

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

To keep a door level on an uneven surface, use shims or scraps of underlayment to hold the door level while you attach the hinges. Keep in mind that on an uneven surface, the slope of the floor when open may not be the same as when it’s shut. Use a level to keep from shimming your door too much or too little while attaching the hinges.

Wood putty is an effective solution for repairing holes in wood doors, especially stained ones. For stained doors, it is crucial to match the putty color to the existing finish, as it's difficult to match new stain to old stain. You can buy putty that matches your door's color or blend different shades for a perfect match. For larger holes, you can first fill the void with spray foam and then apply wood putty over it. Another option for large holes is to use spray foam and spackle, and then paint the entire door for a uniform, fresh appearance. If the hole is very large, particularly in a hollow core door, replacing the door may be the most practical solution.

You can use wood, metal, or plastic as a door shim, but keep in mind that wood will rot easier than the other two materials. Your local hardware store should have at least one type in stock. Alternatively, you can trim a piece of cardboard to fit underneath your door hinge and work as a temporary, makeshift door shim.

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.

If you have an uneven door, the best way to level it or make it plumb is to use shims between the frame of the prehung door and the wall opening around it. Rough wall openings for doors usually leave substantial space for shimming so that you can make these adjustments. Start by shimming the hinge side of the door to center the prehung door, and then shim the lock side. Once it’s centered, hammer in the shims and continue checking that it’s plumb to get it to sit snugly in the wall opening and perfectly plumb and level.
