Ask RiotACT: Front door replacement – recommendations

steveu 2 June 2016 13 July 2016 3

Our front door is bowed (10mm at the top) and has had better days… We would like to replace it – any recommendations for a carpenter who could put in a nice door?

Thanks for any advice.

We’ve used a local Handyman ‘Handy Andy’ for various work around at our home and would recommend his services. His contact number is 0438 410 513 (should you need a second option!)

I’d give Adam Smith from First Man Trade Services a call – 0402 464 552. Adam has done a lot of work around my house so I’d highly recommend him.

Thank you.
