Door Repair,
Done Right the First Time.

Sticking doors, damaged jambs, failing weatherstripping, broken brickmold — interior and exterior door problems get worse when ignored. We diagnose the actual cause, repair it correctly, and back every job with a 1-year written warranty.

What We Do

Doors are among the most-used components in any home, and the wear shows over time — in alignment, in the frame, in the hardware, and in the seals that keep weather out. We handle the full range of interior and exterior door repairs, from a quick hinge adjustment to full jamb replacement, with the same standard of care on every job.

  • Interior door repair & alignment — Sticking, binding, or sagging interior doors are most often caused by loose hinges, a shifted frame, or seasonal wood movement. We tighten or replace hinges, plane binding edges, adjust strikes, and realign the door so it swings and latches correctly. If the door stop is misaligned or the latch bolt does not engage cleanly, we correct that too.
  • Exterior door repair — Exterior doors take far more stress than interior ones — sun, heat, rain, and constant use. We repair and replace weatherstripping along the door sides and top, adjust or replace the door sweep at the bottom, replace worn or damaged thresholds, and address any frame movement that is causing the door to bind or leave gaps. A properly sealed exterior door makes a measurable difference in both energy efficiency and security.
  • Door jamb & frame repair — Kicked-in doors, moisture damage, and years of use can crack, split, or compress the door jamb and surrounding frame. We repair damaged jambs with wood consolidant and filler, replace door stops, reinforce or relocate strike plates, and install heavy-duty strike plate kits where security is a concern. When the damage is too extensive for repair, we replace the jamb section cleanly.
  • Brickmold & exterior casing repair — The exterior trim around your door frames is the primary barrier against water infiltration at the door opening. Cracked, split, or rotten brickmold allows water to track behind the frame and into the wall cavity. We repair or replace damaged brickmold, re-caulk all joints, and prime and paint to match so the repair is invisible and the opening is properly sealed.
  • Hardware repair & upgrade — Loose handles, failing latches, misaligned deadbolts, and worn hinges are common on any door used daily. We adjust, repair, or replace door hardware — handles, locksets, deadbolts, hinges, door closers, and door stops — and ensure everything operates smoothly with correct alignment to the strike plate.

Why a Sticking or Damaged Door Is More Than a Minor Inconvenience

Completed door repair by ServiceBeaver in DFW Texas

A door that drags across the floor, refuses to latch cleanly, or leaves a visible gap along the frame is easy to live with for a while — until it is not. Alignment problems that start as a minor nuisance tend to worsen over time, putting progressively more stress on the hinges, the jamb, and the latch hardware. What begins as a simple hinge tightening can become a jamb repair if left long enough.

Exterior door failures carry consequences beyond inconvenience. Weatherstripping that no longer seals, a threshold with visible daylight underneath, or brickmold that has cracked and separated from the wall are all active entry points for water, insects, and conditioned air. In DFW’s climate — where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F — an exterior door that does not seal properly adds meaningfully to cooling costs, and moisture intrusion around the frame can cause rot and mold inside the wall cavity within a single rainy season.

Most door problems are straightforward to repair when addressed at the right time. Correct diagnosis matters — treating the symptom without identifying the cause (a foundation shift, saturated wood, a frame that has racked slightly out of square) leads to repairs that do not hold. We identify what is actually happening before any work begins, so the fix lasts.

How We Approach Every Door Repair

A lasting door repair starts with understanding why the problem happened. Here is exactly what we do on every job, from a simple alignment to a full jamb replacement.

  • 1. Inspect the door, frame, and hardware

    We examine the full door system — not just the visible problem. This includes checking hinge condition and fastener tightness, measuring reveal gaps around the door, looking for signs of frame movement or moisture damage, testing the latch and deadbolt engagement, and inspecting weatherstripping and threshold for wear.

  • 2. Diagnose the root cause

    A door that sticks can have a dozen different causes. We identify the actual source — loose hinges, a racked frame, seasonal wood swelling, paint buildup, a shifted foundation, or a combination — before determining the correct repair. Treating symptoms without addressing the cause leads to the same problem returning.

  • 3. Repair or replace damaged components

    We repair split jambs, replace damaged door stops, install reinforced strike plates, replace worn or broken hinges, and address any wood rot or moisture damage in the frame. For exterior doors, we replace weatherstripping, sweeps, and thresholds as needed. Brickmold that is beyond repair is replaced cleanly.

  • 4. Realign the door in the frame

    Once components are repaired or replaced, the door is reinstalled or adjusted so the reveal is even on all sides, the swing is smooth and controlled, and the latch and deadbolt engage the strike plate correctly without forcing. Hinges are set to the correct tension and the door stop is adjusted to match.

  • 5. Seal, caulk, and finish

    Exterior door work is completed with caulking at all frame and brickmold joints. If painting or priming is needed to match the surrounding finish, we include it so the repair is complete — not left for the homeowner to handle separately. Interior door repairs are finished flush and clean.

  • 6. Test and confirm with you

    We operate the door through its full range of motion, test the latch and deadbolt, and check weatherstripping contact around the full perimeter. We walk you through what was done and why, and confirm you are satisfied before we leave.

The ServiceBeaver Standard

Diagnosis First

We identify the cause before we touch anything. A repair that addresses the symptom instead of the source will not last — and you should not have to pay for it twice.

Right Material for the Environment

Exterior doors call for different materials and products than interior doors. We use components matched to the location so the repair holds up to DFW weather conditions.

Flat-Rate Pricing

You know the full cost before we start. No hourly billing surprises, no add-ons after the fact. The price we quote is the price you pay.

1-Year Written Warranty

Every door repair is backed by a full one-year written warranty. If the repair does not hold, we return and make it right at no additional cost.

Door Repair Questions We Hear Often

Why is my door sticking or hard to close?

The most common causes are seasonal wood expansion due to humidity, loose or worn hinges that allow the door to sag, a shifted door frame, or paint buildup on the door edges. In older homes, minor foundation movement can also cause frames to rack slightly out of square, which makes doors bind or gap unevenly. Sticking doors should not be ignored — a door that does not close fully or latch securely is a security and energy issue, not just an inconvenience. We diagnose the actual cause before doing any work so the fix addresses the root problem rather than the symptom.

Can a door jamb be repaired without replacing the whole door?

Yes, in most cases. Split or cracked jambs, damaged door stops, and stripped strike plate areas can typically be repaired without disturbing the door itself. A common repair is reinforcing a kick-damaged jamb with a heavy-duty steel strike plate kit and wood consolidant, which restores structural integrity and security without a full jamb replacement. If the damage is extensive — significant rot, severe splitting along the full jamb height, or structural compromise — jamb replacement is the right call, and we will tell you honestly which situation applies before starting.

When should a door be replaced rather than repaired?

Repair is the right choice when the door panel is structurally sound and the problem is alignment, hardware, weatherstripping, or localized damage. Replacement makes more sense when the door panel itself is warped beyond correction, when wood rot has penetrated the core, when a hollow-core door needs to be upgraded to solid-core for sound or security reasons, or when an exterior door has failed so completely that it can no longer seal against the frame. We assess both options honestly and give you a clear recommendation — we are not in the business of replacing doors that can be repaired.

How long does exterior door repair typically take?

Most exterior door repairs — weatherstripping replacement, threshold adjustment, brickmold repair, hinge work, and minor frame corrections — are completed in a single visit of two to four hours. More involved repairs, such as a full jamb section replacement or a combination of frame work plus caulking and paint, may require a full day. Full door replacement including demolition, installation, shimming, caulking, and finishing also typically takes a full day. We give you an accurate time estimate before work begins so you can plan accordingly.

What is brickmold and why does it need to be repaired?

Brickmold is the exterior trim casing that surrounds the outside of an exterior door frame, bridging the gap between the door frame and the exterior wall surface. It seals the joint against water and air infiltration and provides a finished appearance. In Texas, brickmold is frequently made of wood and deteriorates from sun, moisture, and temperature cycling — cracking, splitting, shrinking, and losing its caulk seal over time. Failed brickmold allows water to track behind the frame into the wall cavity, which leads to rot, mold, and insulation damage. It is one of the most common sources of hidden water intrusion around exterior doors, and it is easy to overlook until the damage inside the wall becomes visible.
