Doors that stick, rub or won't latch.

Old houses move with the seasons, and doors are the first place it shows. I plane, rehang and reset them as part of your list.

01

What's included

  • Planing and rehanging

    I find where the door rubs, then plane or rehang it so it swings free.

  • Hinge shimming

    Hinges shimmed so the gaps around the door are even.

  • Strike resets

    Strikes reset so the latch catches every time.

  • New interior doors hung

    Interior doors hung or replaced, set and fitted. French doors hung and trimmed too.

  • On request: quieter doors

    Solid-core doors with seals for a quieter home office.

Questions

  • What is a punch list?

    A list of repair and finish-up tasks, such as a drywall patch, a gap in the baseboard, a door that won't latch or a loose cabinet hinge, grouped into one half-day or full-day visit.

  • What is the smallest job you take?

    A half-day visit, about four hours. That can be several tasks grouped into one day. A single small task is best grouped with a few others.

A bedroom with white shaker-style wainscoting panels and chair rail below gray walls
