"Great! We were informed ahead of time of delays due to weather. Pearce, Gary and their team were so kind and were very thorough and clean. They did a wonderful job with all of the carpentry and the prep work for painting. Every day the job site was left spotlessly clean. Our house looks amazing! It looks brand new. I really appreciate their very thorough estimate and how well they communicated. I felt like we were informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend them."

I am a handyman that has been working in the area since 2011. I have experience in many fields of work and am always striving to improve. I am proud to provide services to local individuals and families at a reasonable rate. Of course I am better at some things than others. I have extensive experience working with mobile homes, but I am not limited to that. Give me a call and see if I can solve your problem :) Things I do not do are anything to do with glass sheets (like sliding glass doors) and aluminum porches, including pool screens. Feel free to bypass the Angi restrictions and give me a call at 386-202-0096.
"Great job. Very professional and got the job done. Will Use Midway Handyman Services again."

For most standard interior doors, professional installation takes approximately three hours from start to finish. The timeframe may extend if complications arise, such as the need for wall repairs or custom fitting. More complex installations like pocket doors or double French doors require additional time. If you're tackling the project yourself, expect the process to take longer, especially if you're new to door installation.
Most straightforward door frame replacements don't require building permits since they're considered minor improvements that don't affect structural elements. However, if your project involves widening the door opening, creating a new doorway, or modifying load-bearing walls, you'll likely need to obtain a permit from your local building department. Historical districts and some homeowners associations may have additional requirements or restrictions.
For a DIY interior door installation, you'll need basic tools including a tape measure, level, power drill with various bits, screwdriver set, hammer, utility knife, and shims. You might also need a saw for trimming the door if necessary, sandpaper for smoothing edges, and a chisel for creating hinge mortises. Having a helper makes the job considerably easier, especially when positioning and holding the door during installation.
When measuring for a replacement door, determine whether you need just the door slab or a pre-hung unit that includes the frame. For a slab door, measure the width, height, and thickness of your existing door. For a pre-hung door, measure the width and height of the rough opening (from stud to stud and floor to header). Also note the swing direction—whether the door opens to the left or right when facing it from the outside of the room.
