Common Door Problems That Need Attention
When Opening and Closing Becomes a Chore
Doors take a beating over time. Between daily use, changing temperatures, settling homes, and ordinary wear, even a well-installed door can eventually develop problems.
You might notice a door dragging across the floor, rubbing against its frame, or refusing to latch unless you lift the handle.
Sometimes a hinge has loosened. Other times, the strike plate needs adjusting or the hardware has simply worn out.
These issues can be frustrating, but they don't always mean you need an entirely new door.
Mark can assess the situation and help determine whether an adjustment, repair, or replacement makes the most sense.

Does Your Door Need Repairing or Replacing?
Honey, Don't Buy a New Door Just Yet.
Sometimes a door that seems beyond saving needs only a relatively simple fix.
A loose hinge might be causing it to sag. A misaligned latch could be keeping it from closing properly. Or an aging handle may be the real source of the problem.
Other times, replacement is the more sensible option, particularly when a door has significant damage or ongoing issues that a small adjustment won't solve.
Mark's approach is to look at the condition of the existing door, discuss your concerns, and help you understand the practical options.
The goal isn't to sell you the biggest project possible.
It's to help you make a reasonable decision about what your home actually needs.
