"I hired (Name Removed) to paint my kitchen and bathroom cabinets for $4,400. On September 27, a worker removed my cabinets and drawers, applying painters tape and plastic before taking them for painting. The next day, Philip started applying primer without sanding. He got paint on my refrigerator, hardwood floor, and dishwasher, promising it would come off. However, the primer was dripping, and I have pictures to prove the poor application. After finishing the primer,(Name Removed) asked for $1,000 upfront, which I paid. He returned later but said he couldn't paint yet because the primer wasn't dry, rescheduling for September 29. On that day, he texted that he was running late and claimed his cat knocked over the cabinets. I scheduled him for October 1, but he canceled again, citing more excuses. On October 1, he texted that his employee died in a car crash, which I found hard to believe due to his previous flakiness. I demanded a specific time for completion or for him to return my cabinets. He eventually agreed to bring them back on October 4. When he returned, the paint job was unacceptable. The cabinets were chipped, with excess paint everywhere. I refused to pay the remaining balance. My daughter recorded the exchange for safety. Philip became loud and threatened to put a lien on my home, despite there being no contract. He demanded $400 for paint, although his receipt showed only $203.68. To get him to leave, my daughter suggested paying him $400. He took the money but left without giving me the hinges, making it impossible to reattach the cabinets. On October 7, I texted him for the missing hinges. He replied, demanding another 1k to find them. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, and I believe Philip should not be operating as a contractor. He is not a qualified painter and should not take on such jobs."

"John L. was THE BEST! In working to swap our over-oven microwave/fan for a hood vent he was tireless in being sure it was done perfectly. The original over-oven microwave install was done poorly, causing a headache in fixing the errors, yet John did not cut any corners. He also checked in about every detail to be sure we were comfortable with what was happening. He listened to our concerns about how poorly the previous fan had been working and made an extra effort to be sure the vent opened very wide for maximum venting. We also asked when booking that the technician wear a mask and John arrived and wore an N95 the whole 4 hours with no fuss. This was our first experience with Mr. Handyman and if all the other technicians are as good as John then we will be using them exclusively from now on. John is like the fix-it dad you wished lived in your same town."

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.
