Door Repair Services We Provide
Sticking and Misaligned Doors
Doors that drag, bind, or require force to open are among the most common calls we receive. The fix depends completely on the cause: loose hinges, swollen wood, frame shift, or a combination. We adjust alignment, correct hinges, and plane or trim where necessary so the door moves smoothly again. We also repair damaged door thresholds and uneven transitions that can cause doors to drag, scrape, or fail to close properly.
Squeaky Hinges and Noisy Hardware
Worn hinges and loose hardware are the usual suspects behind grinding, squeaking, or rattling doors. We examine every moving component. Tighten fittings, lubricate hinges, and replace any hardware that has worn past the point of repair.
Damaged Door Frames
Daily use, moisture, and impact from everyday life leave marks on door frames over time. We repair dents, cracks, cosmetic surface damage, and structural frame issues to restore both the appearance and function of your doorway. Our team repairs damaged door jambs, split wood, loose trim, and frame components that affect door alignment and security.
Broken Handles, Locks, and Latches
A handle that wobbles, a latch that no longer catches, or a lock that sticks are not just annoyances; they are security gaps. We repair or replace faulty door hardware efficiently so your home stays secure. We also correct deadbolt alignment issues that prevent locks from engaging properly and compromise home security.
Interior Door Repair:
Bedroom doors, bathroom doors, closet doors, and bi-fold doors all see heavy daily use. We repair surface damage, fix hinges, correct alignment, and address any operational problems on interior doors throughout your home.
Security and Exterior Door Repair
Front entry doors and exterior doors are your home’s first line of defense. We repair damaged frames, reinforce entry points, fix deadbolts, and address any structural issues that compromise how your exterior doors function and seal. We replace worn weather stripping, door sweeps, and door seals to improve energy efficiency, reduce drafts, and help keep moisture, pests, and outside air from entering your home.
Interior and Exterior Door Repairs We Handle
We handle a diverse range of work in terms of door repair. Our services include front entry doors, patio doors, bedroom and bathroom doors, closet and bi-fold doors, and screen doors. If the issue can be cosmetic, mechanical, or structural, we emphasize repairing your existing door whenever possible, saving you the cost of full replacement. We repair patio sliding door rollers, tracks, handles, and locking mechanisms to restore smooth, reliable operation and eliminate sticking or uneven movement. Our technicians also repair French doors that have become difficult to open, close, or latch correctly. Our goal is simple: enhance the life of your door, restore its proper function, and make sure it works reliably for years to come.
Why West Houston Doors Break Down Faster
West Houston homeowners face a difficult climate that affects mostly residential doors. The climate in Houston is mostly hot and humid, which causes door wood to become imbibed and makes wood frames expand, which favors sticking windows and doors. Additionally, if you notice sticking in certain seasons, humidity is the culprit. Besides seasonal swelling, wood also absorbs moisture from the air, and sometimes it happens that one side of the door absorbs much moisture from the other, causing an imbalance that wraps the door, and this problem is common in those areas where there is high humidity or temperature fluctuates abruptly. Additionally, there is also direct sunlight.
On top of humidity, Houston’s expansive clay soil causes unstable base settling that throws your home out of alignment. And misaligned frames are one of the leading reasons interior and exterior doors stop operating correctly. This means what looks like a simple sticking door could have more than one contributing cause. Our team examines each door carefully to identify the real problem before doing any repair work. In many West Houston homes, foundation settlement can also contribute to door alignment issues, making doors difficult to open, close, or latch properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my door only stick in summer?
Humidity causes wood to absorb moisture and swell. In Houston, summer heat and high humidity are common triggers. Once the weather cools or dries out, the wood contracts, and the door often moves freely again, but repeated seasonal swelling can cause permanent warping or hinge damage over time.
Can you repair a door without replacing the whole unit?
In most cases, yes. Hinge adjustments, frame repairs, hardware replacement, and planing can resolve the majority of door problems without full replacement. We only recommend replacement when the door or frame has deteriorated beyond practical repair.
My door is sticking, and I have multiple doors with the same issue. Should I be concerned?
When several doors stick simultaneously, it can signal foundation movement rather than humidity or hardware alone. We assess each situation and can tell you honestly whether the problem is isolated to the door itself or points to something that needs a structural evaluation.
How long does a door repair take?
Most standard repairs, hinge adjustments, hardware replacement, and frame fixes are completed in a single visit. More involved repairs involving frame damage or significant alignment correction may take longer depending on the scope.
Do you repair both interior and exterior doors?
Yes. We repair all residential door types, including bedroom doors, bathroom doors, front entry doors, patio doors, closet doors, and bi-fold doors across West Houston.
