Warning Signs: When Your Door Starts Working Against You
In our experience serving Forney’s homeowners and small business owners, door issues usually start small. You might notice a tiny draft, a misaligned latch, or a soft spot near the base. If left untreated, however, these minor annoyances can turn into big headaches. Wood doors can swell in Texas humidity and refuse to close; hinges can rust; and seals can crack to allow bugs, heat, and cold air to sneak inside.
For homeowners, these problems can make a house feel less than a home. For businesses, damaged or outdated doors can lead to security concerns or even liability risks. Here are some common problems that our handyman can come out to fix ASAP:
- Doors that stick or drag
- Drafty gaps or weathered seals
- Damaged frames or cracked panels
- Misaligned hardware
- Worn hinges or rusted components
- Unreliable locks or handles
These issues can drive up energy bills, reduce curb appeal, and compromise safety. Why risk it when a quick and affordable door repair is just a call away with Mr. Handyman?
Choosing the Right Next Step: Repair or Replace?
Many times, door repairs are all that’s needed. For instance, we can realign and rehang doors, replace damaged hardware, or seal out drafts to make old doors feel new again. Other times, a new door is what you need. In any case, our professionals have years of experience and know the difference between a quick fix and a lasting one.
Typically, we recommend a door replacement if there's extensive rot or major structural damage. Many homeowners dealing with recurring repairs or an out-of-style door prefer a new door from the get-go. Whatever your situation, our team can install everything from sturdy steel security doors to stylish and energy-efficient fiberglass models.
