Signs Your Door Needs Repair
Doors usually give you warning before they fail. If you've noticed any of these around your home, it's a good time to have it looked at.
1
You have to push, pull, or lift to close it
A sign the door has shifted out of alignment.
2
Hinges squeak, feel loose, or have stripped screws
Hardware that's worn or pulling away from the frame.
3
Your ceiling fan wobbles or makes noise
Usually an improper mount or worn unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not sure if your door needs a repair or a replacement? These are the questions we get asked most.
Can a sticking door be fixed without replacing it?
In most cases, yes. Sticking is usually caused by loose hinges, seasonal swelling, or a shifted frame — all of which can typically be corrected with adjustments rather than a full replacement.
Why won't my door latch anymore?
It's usually a strike plate that's slightly out of alignment with the latch. This is a quick fix in most cases and doesn't require new hardware.
Can you fix a door that's been kicked in or damaged?
It depends on the extent of the damage to the door and frame. Send us photos and we'll let you know whether a repair or replacement makes more sense.
How long does a door repair take?
Most adjustments and hinge repairs are completed in a single visit. New door installations typically take longer depending on the door type and framing.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Free estimates are available within the Durham area — approximately a one-hour round trip — or for projects that can be accurately estimated from photos. A $50 fee may apply for detailed on-site estimates outside those guidelines.
