Common Door Problems We Fix
North Carolina’s humidity causes wood doors to expand and stick in summer, and shrink in winter. Over time, settling foundations shift door frames out of square, and hinges wear loose. We diagnose and fix all of these issues — from simple hinge screw tightening to full frame replacement on badly damaged doors.
Our Door Installation Process
- Assessment: We check the rough opening, existing frame, and confirm the new door specs.
- Removal: Old door and frame removed carefully, preserving trim where possible.
- Installation: New prehung door set plumb and level in the opening, shimmed and fastened correctly.
- Hardware: Lockset, hinges, and strike plate installed and adjusted for smooth operation.
- Trim and caulk: Interior and exterior trim reinstalled or replaced, caulked for weatherproofing.
- Test and verify: Door swings, latches, and locks tested thoroughly before we leave.
Why Getting Door Installation Right Matters
A door that’s installed out of plumb will never work right — no matter how nice the hardware is. Proper shimming, accurate measurement of the rough opening, and careful adjustment of hinges and strike plates are what make the difference. Mike has installed hundreds of doors across Triangle area homes and knows every common challenge the region’s conditions create.

How long does a door installation take?
A standard interior door replacement typically takes 1–3 hours. Exterior door installations take longer — usually half a day — due to weatherproofing, trim work, and hardware. We give you a specific estimate based on your situation.
Can you match existing interior door styles?
We work with whatever door style you choose and can advise on matching existing trim profiles. We can also replace all interior doors at once for a consistent updated look.
My door sticks badly in summer. Can you fix it without replacing it?
Often yes. Sticking doors are frequently fixed by planing the hinge or latch side, adjusting hinges, or reseating the strike plate. We diagnose first and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Do you install smart locks and keypad deadbolts?
Yes — we install all types of residential door hardware including smart locks, keypad entry systems, and traditional deadbolts.
