Door Installation and Repair Wheaton

When taking on this home improvement project, many homeowners assume it will be a lot faster, and therefore less costly, to have their handyman remove the old door slab, leave the frame in place, and hang a new slab. That assumption makes sense on the surface if you've never tried to hang a door before, but in reality, it's rarely the case for door installation services. It can be quite difficult and time-consuming to insert a new slab into an existing door frame, which is why it's usually a lot more cost-effective to simply remove the old frame and slab and install a new pre-hung door package. The other factor to consider is that the frame would have to be in great shape and not "out-of-square" or warped, and that's rarely the case when a door needs to be replaced.

When getting an exterior door installation, Wheaton homeowners may want to consider adding a storm door as well. It's not strictly necessary, but there are some advantages of storm door installation in Wheaton that are worth pondering, such as:

• Provides an extra level of protection against intruders and harsh weather
• Protects your door from the elements so it remains in good shape and you can avoid replacement for longer
• Lets in natural light and fresh air while keeping small children and pets safely inside the house
• Interchangeable storm doors have glass and mesh panels that can be swapped out according to the season—the glass helps improve energy efficiency in the winter, and the screen allows for fresh breezes in the summer

There are also screen doors, which are similar to storm doors but only have basic screen panels and may or may not have a latching mechanism.

Because there are so many different types of issues doors encounter, the repair process will differ. But no matter what problem your door is facing, you can count on our qualified team to resolve it quickly and correctly. We know your time is precious, so we work diligently to help you get back to your daily routines as soon as possible.

Since doors are used daily and are subject to outdoor elements, they encounter all kinds of issues that call for repair. A few of the most common we can resolve include:

• Misalignment: If a door wasn't hung correctly during installation, you may have too large of a gap between the top or bottom, or the door may be askew. In any case, this can result in drafts and difficulties opening and closing the door. To resolve alignment issues, we'll need to remove the door and re-hang it properly.
• Warping: Warping often happens when a door absorbs moisture or due to the expansion and contraction that occurs from fluctuating temperatures. Warped doors are difficult to open and close and may not fit in the frame. In this case, we may need to sand down the edges to help the door fit. In extreme cases, a door replacement will be necessary.
• Cracks & Dings: Doors often crack due to fluctuating temperatures, but they can also become damaged from excessive wear and tear. Severe cracks call for door replacement, however, smaller ones can be resolved with a bit of epoxy filler, and the same goes for chips and dents.
• Wood Rot: Wood rot most frequently affects exterior doors that have not been properly maintained. Wooden doors require constant painting or staining to increase their water resistance, but should even just one part be without protection, it becomes highly susceptible to wood rot. To remove rot, we'll need to cut away the affected section before it spreads and use epoxy filler to smooth over the hole.
• Broken Hardware: Doors that don't lock and handles that won't turn can create big issues in the home. In one case, you leave your home vulnerable to intruders, and in the other, you won't be able to get in or out! Let us resolve this tricky issue by replacing existing broken hardware with a new, sturdy design of your choosing.
