Looking for a Mr. Fixit ! Door issue.

Looking for someone who does small home repair jobs around the house.

One in particular is to fix my basement door, which has a steel casing.
The door is out of alignment with the casing, right side is about 1/4"+ lower than the left side. (This was the way it was when I bought the house a year ago). The issue is creating two problems, first I cannot properly lock the door, as the dead-bold will not extend into the jam, secondly, because the door is out of alignment it is not properly sealing against the weather-stripping causing a huge draft Possibly a wood shim, in the bottom hinge could correct the issue, but I want someone who knows what they're doing to fix it correctly and permanent.

So looking for a person to fix this and other small jobs.
Your feed-back is appreciated !
