Common Situations
Wood doors swell with Charlotte's humidity. Most of the time, planing or sanding the sticking edge fixes the drag — and it takes an hour, not a new door. Larry adjusts the fit so it opens and closes cleanly year-round without forcing it or leaving a gap.
Gaps around doors and windows bleed conditioned air year-round — heat escaping in winter, cool air in summer. Re-sealing with fresh weatherstripping is a low-cost fix that pays for itself in utility bills. Larry replaces it cleanly and checks the full frame while he's there.
A deadbolt that doesn't throw cleanly or a latch that doesn't seat fully is a security gap, not just an annoyance. Larry replaces hardware, adjusts strike plates, and re-hangs doors that are out of square so everything locks with confidence. He carries common hardware and can usually complete the repair in one visit.
Sliding doors collect debris, derail, or wear out their rollers over time. The result is a door you have to wrestle with every time. Larry cleans the track, adjusts or replaces the rollers, and lubricates the system so the door glides again without fighting it.
FAQ
Charlotte's humidity causes wood doors to absorb moisture and expand in the warmer months. The fix is usually planing or sanding the edge that's dragging — not replacing the door. Larry adjusts the fit so it opens cleanly even in peak humidity.
Yes. He carries common hardware and can replace locks, deadbolts, and door handles in a single visit. If you want a specific brand or finish, let him know and he can source it before the appointment.
Most sticking or misaligned doors just need a quick adjustment — tightening hinges, sanding the edge, or shifting the strike plate. Larry will assess during the visit and let you know if replacement is actually necessary.
Yes, including pre-hung door installation. Call to discuss the scope — new installs take more time to scope accurately than adjustments.
