Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what is wrong with the door. Many door repairs are straightforward fixes. Kensington homeowners take care of their properties. Our team approaches every job here with the same care, and leaves the work area clean. Our team gives you a clear quote after looking at the door.

Seasonal wood expansion from humidity causes most summer sticking. Our team adjusts the door so it moves correctly in all seasons.

In most cases yes. Our team prefers repair over replacement when the door is structurally sound. Our team tells you honestly when replacement makes more sense.

Most door repairs take one to two hours. More complex jamb or frame work takes longer depending on the damage.

Wood expands when humidity rises and contracts in cold dry air. A door that sticks only in summer has clearances that are too tight for the seasonal movement. Our team adjusts the door and hinges so it operates correctly in all seasons.

A hinge problem shows up as sagging on one side. Humidity swelling affects the full door edge consistently in warm, wet weather. A frame problem means the house has moved and the opening is out of square. Our team identifies which is the cause before touching the door. The fix for each is different, and treating the wrong one does not solve the problem.

Our team removes only the material needed for the door to operate correctly across all seasons. For humidity-driven sticking, we also checks the weatherstripping and adjusts the stop if needed. The goal is a door that operates correctly and seals in all weather, not just in summer.

Yes. If the door is being adjusted for fit anyway, replacing worn weatherstripping and the bottom sweep in the same visit keeps the full threshold sealed. Our team checks the sweep and stripping condition as part of the door assessment.

No. Our team removes and reinstalls hardware as part of the repair when needed. Just make sure the area around the door is clear enough to swing it fully open during the adjustment.
