I am not handy at all. I have a door that is falling off it's hinges and I don't know who to call to just replace it. Home depot? Sears? lol I have no idea.

I would, in this order:
1) Call around to some friends or family in the area and ask if they know anyone.
2) Google for your zip code and door repair.
3) Home Depot or Lowes if those fail.

Weird, I get calls all the time from doors and windows companies.
The last one was from the company that actually just did my new door. Dumbasses.

Honestly, if you can use a phillips screwdriver and/or a drill you can fix/replace it yourself. Take pics to Home depot and they will tell you what to do.

If nothing else, do this and buy the supplies you need so all you will need is labor unless you can pull it off or get a friend to help. If you outright hire someone and they have to buy supplies they will charge you more for it since they have to make a profit. Just an fyi.

Simple fix, depending of course, buy some bigger screws. Take pics go to Home depot, bat your eyes. Serious, they will tell you what and how. *And take some of the old screws with you.

If the screw holes are now too big (because you just had to mangle the door and strip it all out/break the jamb, nice job) then you go get bigger screws. If they were interior brass jamb casing screws go get some 2inch drywall screws and sink them deeper into the stud behind the jamb and stop breaking [edit].
