Door Repair and Maintenance in Boise
Introduction to Door Repair and Maintenance
Not every door problem requires a full replacement. Often, doors simply need professional repair or maintenance to restore their function and extend their lifespan. At AW Door and Trim Design, we provide Boise, Eagle, Star, Garden City, and Meridian homeowners with reliable solutions to fix common issues such as sticking, squeaking, poor sealing, or misaligned hardware.
Our carpenters understand the frustration of doors that don’t close properly, drag on floors, or let in cold drafts. These issues may seem minor, but left unaddressed they can cause additional wear on frames and hardware. With expert adjustments and precision repair, we make your doors operate like new again.
Why Professional Door Repair Matters
It’s tempting to ignore a sticking or squeaky door, but professional repairs save time, money, and energy in the long run. A poorly fitted door can waste energy by letting conditioned air escape, or pose a security risk if the latch doesn’t hold properly.
Here’s why hiring a professional for door repair makes sense:
- Accurate diagnosis: We identify the root cause, not just the symptoms.
- Lasting fixes: Repairs are completed with proper tools and carpentry techniques.
- Better performance: Adjustments restore smooth operation and tight seals.
- Cost savings: Extending the life of existing doors avoids unnecessary replacements.
Common Door Problems We Fix
Sticking or Rubbing Doors
Seasonal humidity or uneven framing can cause doors to swell and drag. We plane edges, adjust hinges, and realign frames to ensure smooth operation.
Squeaky Hinges
Lubrication helps temporarily, but we address loose screws, worn hinge pins, or misalignment to eliminate recurring squeaks.
Drafty or Leaky Doors
Poor weatherstripping or thresholds let in drafts. We replace seals, install new thresholds, and adjust frames to improve insulation.
Misaligned Latches
A latch that doesn’t catch properly can leave your door insecure. We reposition strike plates, shim jambs, or adjust hardware to restore security.
Damaged Trim or Frames
Kicked-in frames, split trim, or cosmetic wear can be repaired or replaced to restore both function and appearance.
Sliding and Pocket Door Issues
Stuck sliders and off-track pocket doors require careful carpentry. We realign, adjust rollers, or rebuild tracks for smooth movement.
