REPAIR BEFORE REPLACE

A door that sticks, drags or no longer closes correctly does not always need replacement. We first check the hinges, frame and hardware and determine whether an adjustment or repair can solve the problem, which is often faster and cheaper than a new door.

CLEAN INSTALLATION

For new doors, we focus on proper fit, smooth operation and clean finishing around the opening, including trim work when included in the project. Replacing several doors at once? We price them as one package.

Pricing

Simple adjustments and minor repairs may use standard hourly pricing. New door installations and more involved repairs are priced after we confirm the door type, opening and project scope.

  • $100/hour1–4 hours
