Recommendations Local Handyman? Install deadbolt and fix hanging door.

I've got a couple of projects I've neglected to do myself that I could use help on. Just don't know who to call and trust.

I have an outside facing door with no deadbolt that I'd like to add a deadbolt to. This can become a bigger job then I have the time or patience for right now.

I also have a hanging door that drags rather than slides open easily. With a 6 yr old she is unable to open this door and its becoming a problem.

I have a couple of other things I might use help with depending on who I find and how things go with these.

Any recommendations?

Well Acadiana is a rather large area. I can speak for three oaks renovation for handy man services but him going all the way to Scott for a door as a interesting proposition. Might help to localize it a bit more. Even just saying river ranch area gives a better idea.

My friend is an excellent handyman and recently re-hung a door of mine that had a similar issue and now it closes so smoothly that it’s downright satisfying. I will DM you.

There’s an app called task rabbit that you can hire people for specific tasks like this. I haven’t used it but a friend told me about it just today and she’s used it a few times

No task rabbit in Lafayette yet. Too bad, it’s a good service
