Questions from Castro customers
Can you hang pictures without putting holes in the plaster?
Often yes. Where an original picture rail is in place we can hang from it with proper rail hooks and cable, which carries real weight and leaves the walls untouched.
The doors drag on the floor after refinishing. Can that be fixed?
Yes. Refinished floors sit slightly higher, so the door slab needs trimming and rehanging. We take it off, trim the correct amount, seal the cut edge and rehang it so it clears cleanly.
