Questions
Handyman questions, answered
Can you fix a door without replacing it?
Usually, yes. Most sticking, dragging, or misaligned doors can be fixed by adjusting hinges, planing edges, or replacing hardware. I always check whether a repair will solve it before recommending a new door.
How long does a door installation take?
I do not rush door work; it takes time to do it right. Most single-door installations take a few hours, and I confirm the timeline in your quote before I start.
Do you supple the door, or do I buy it?
Either works. I can source the door and hardware and include them in the quote, or install a door you have already purchased. We agree on it up front.
