House calls
Door adjustment and hardware
Doors that stick, latches that do not catch, and hardware that looks tired on an otherwise serious entry.
Humidity in this region swells doors. A front door that has to be lifted to latch is the kind of thing buyers and guests both notice.
Hinge adjustment, strike move, a plane only if the door can lose a little wood, and hardware swaps you have chosen. We stop if the jamb is rotten.
Included
- Adjustment of agreed doors
- Strike and hinge work
- Hardware swap if you have it or we buy it approved
- Sweep coordination with weatherstripping
How it is quoted
Per door, or inside a house-call day. A video of the stick is perfect.
New prehung doors and rotten jambs are a larger project. We will tell you.

What should we do before you arrive?
Send photos in daylight, move cars off the work area, and tell us about pets, a pool, or plantings you are particular about. If this is a house call, send the list ahead so we can say half day or full day before we block the calendar.
What will you not take on?
New prehung doors and rotten jambs are a larger project. We will tell you.
