Every Door in the House

Because we're a carpentry crew β€” not just an installer β€” we can fix the opening, not only the slab that hangs in it.

πŸšͺ

Interior Door Installation

Prehung or slab, single door or the whole upstairs β€” hung plumb, gapped evenly, latching on the first try.

πŸ”§

Sticking & Sagging Repair

Doors that drag, rub, or won't latch β€” hinges reset, strikes moved, edges planed. Usually cheaper than you fear.

🏠

Entry Door Replacement

New front and back doors installed weathertight β€” threshold, sweep, and trim done right, not just β€œin the hole.”

πŸ₯·

Storm & Screen Doors

Installed square so they close softly and latch every time β€” plus screen repairs and closer adjustments.

🌬️

Weatherstripping & Thresholds

If you can see daylight around a door, you're paying to heat the outdoors. Sealed, swept, and snug.

πŸ”

Locks, Hardware & Security

Deadbolts, handle sets, smart locks, strike reinforcement, and repairs to jambs that have been forced or cracked.

Signs a Door Needs Attention

Doors fail slowly, then annoy you daily. Every one of these has a real fix.

πŸͺ¨

It sticks every summer

Seasonal swelling from our humidity means the door or its jamb needs adjustment β€” not a harder shoulder.

πŸ”“

The latch misses the strike

A door that only closes if you lift the handle has sagged on its hinges. It's one of the quickest fixes we do.

β˜€οΈ

Daylight around the edges

Light means air β€” and in January, air means money. Weatherstripping and threshold work seal it up.

πŸͺ©

It drags on the floor

New carpet or a settling frame leaves doors scraping. Trimming and rehanging beats living with the scratch marks.

⚠️

Cracked jamb or trim

A slammed, forced, or just plain tired jamb compromises the whole door β€” and on an entry door, your security.

πŸ“¦

Hollow-core everything

Upgrading builder-grade hollow doors to solid-core changes how a whole house sounds and feels β€” and batches beautifully.

Door quotes are simple once you know the four levers. Quotes are free, written, and itemized.

Repair vs. replace

Most sticking, sagging, and latching problems are repairs, not replacements. We'll tell you honestly which side of the line your door is on.

πŸ—οΈ

Slab vs. prehung vs. entry

Swapping a slab into a good frame is quick. A prehung interior door is a step up. An entry door with threshold and weatherproofing is the biggest job of the three.

πŸͺ›

Frame condition

If the jamb or framing needs repair, that's carpentry β€” which we do in-house instead of walking away from.

How many doors

The second door in a visit always costs less than the first β€” setup and travel happen once. Whole-house door swaps are great value per door.

Door Questions, Answered

Can you fix my door without replacing it?

Usually, yes. Sticking, sagging, latch misses, and drafts are almost always repairs. We only recommend replacement when the door or frame is genuinely done.

What's the difference between a slab and a prehung door?

A slab is just the door itself β€” great when your frame and hinges are good. A prehung comes in its own frame β€” the right call when the old jamb is tired. We'll tell you which your opening needs.

Do you install doors I've already bought?

Absolutely. Buy the door and hardware you love β€” we'll make sure it goes in plumb, sealed, and swinging right.

How long does a door install take?

An interior prehung is typically a couple of hours; an entry door with weatherproofing is usually a half day. Multiple doors batch efficiently into one visit.

Can you upgrade my locks at the same time?

Yes β€” handle sets, deadbolts, and smart locks, plus strike reinforcement while we're in there. One visit, one working, secure door.
