From sticky interior doors to drafty exterior entries, we install and adjust doors to function perfectly despite Kansas City's seasonal wood movement. We're experts at fitting doors in older homes where nothing is perfectly square anymore.
For exterior doors, we focus on security and weatherproofing—critical for our climate. We install sturdy deadbolts and ensure proper thresholds to keep out winter drafts and summer insects. Interior door projects might include pocket door repairs common in midcentury ranches or custom trimming for uneven openings.
We don't just hang doors—we ensure they operate effortlessly for years. This means proper shimming, precise hardware alignment, and accounting for humidity changes that affect wood doors. Your doors will close securely without sticking or rattling through every season.
