Door Repair & Installation in Englewood, CO

A little, probably — that's normal here, not alarming. Front-range clay moves with moisture and season, and the latch-to-strike alignment is measured in sixteenths, so it doesn't take much. The fix is usually adjusting the strike plate or resetting a sagged hinge, a few minutes of work. If a door goes badly out of square suddenly rather than gradually, that's worth a closer look, and I'll say so if I see it.

Often, yes — a new slab hung on an existing sound frame is quicker and cheaper, and it's the right call when the frame is square and solid. A prehung unit — door and frame together — wins when the old frame is racked, rotted, or chewed up by hardware changes. I'll tell you which yours needs honestly; slab-only is less money for me and sometimes the wrong answer for the door.

Usually not much — most sticking and latching problems are adjustment work: hinge screws, strike plates, minor planing, done in well under an hour. That's exactly the kind of small job worth batching with others; I don't charge for drive time, so the running toilet and the crooked shelf can ride along. Send a photo of the door and where it rubs and I'll tell you what I expect it to be.

That's the ideal way to book it. Once I'm set up, each additional door is a fraction of the first — a whole house of sticking doors is a morning, not four separate call-outs. It's one of the most common Englewood and Lakewood calls I get, because houses of that age move together and the doors all give up at once.
