About
Hi, my name is David, and I’m a professional door installer with 18 years of experience. Over the years, I’ve completed 1,500+ door installations, including many different types of doors and many “not-so-simple” situations. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to solve door-related problems — not just install a door and hope for the best — I’m the person you need. When you hire me, you don’t have to stress about whether the job will be done correctly, where to buy the right door, what hardware you need, or whether the door will actually fit. My goal is to make the whole process simple, professional, and stress-free for you. I also sell high-quality doors that I can deliver and install for you. Just to be honest upfront: if you’re looking for the cheapest price on the market, I’m probably not your guy. My prices are fair, but I don’t do “$50 miracle jobs.” Good door work takes experience, the right tools, and attention to detail — and that’s exactly what I provide. Here is my basic price list: All standard installations include hinge and handle/lock installation. Interior door slab replacement: $250 Prehung interior door installation: $350+ Exterior door replacement: $400+ Prehung exterior door installation, including frame and casing: $550+ Shower door installation: $350 Sliding shower door installation: $450+ Security door installation: $200 Screen door installation: $170 I also work with custom doors, custom door jambs, closet sliding doors, sliding glass patio doors, and honestly — if it has the word “door” in it, there’s a very good chance I can help. I provide free estimates. Please, if you’re looking for a $50 or $100 door installation, I completely understand — but I’m not the right fit for that type of job. I focus on quality work, proper installation, and long-term results.

David was very responsive from the start and provided us with a reasonable quote. He was on time for the job and even gave us some advice on how we might save money if he did the job slightly differently. He also cleaned up after himself before leaving. The interior door he installed looks and functions great. I would definitely hire him again.

David did an amazing job on the bee interior doors in my house! The job was done fast, professionally, and the final result is so much better than my old doors! Would definitely have him back again for any other door needs!

David was great. He assessed the situation and resolved my door problem very quickly. He was neat and kind, punctual and completed the work so I would never know there was a problem there. Awesome!

I had a project at my home that required some carpentry with installing an oak door and painting. David is the owner of Handyfornia, a company the is pretty universal with home repairs and handyman projects. I am very much impressed with David’s demeanor and professionalism as we discussed what I wanted. I felt so relaxed working with David because everything was discussed and planned before the work was to begin. The affordability, time from start to completion were very important to me. David aced it all. I feel comfortable referring David and Handyfornia for home improvement and handyman services primarily for his integrity. The process of hiring a stranger, even with high marks can be stressful. David is professionally the tops! Thank you David, I know I’ll be using your services again.
