BBBAccredited BusinessKaminskiy Care and Repair repairs and installs doors across Laguna Niguel, from Rancho Niguel and Beacon Hill to Marina Hills, Niguel Summit and Monarch Point. Doors that bind in hillside homes are rehung, frames are rebuilt where they rotted, sliders to the view roll again, and the exterior door you bought is installed with the fire zone in mind. Priced on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Laguna Niguel is a hillside city, one of California's first master-planned communities, and its homes sit on slopes that move: doors bind, frames rack and latches miss. We rehang, rebuild the frame and install the doors you choose, matched to the association.

Slopes and ocean air. Laguna Niguel sits in the San Joaquin Hills, and houses on hillsides settle and shift over the years, racking door frames until doors bind at the top and latches miss the strike. The marine layer drifts up the canyons and keeps wood doors damp, and big view sliders take the wind. The fix is a trued frame and a rehang far more often than a new door.
In Laguna Niguel the frame is usually the problem, not the door: trued and shimmed, a racked frame lets the door swing and latch again. When the door is split or rotted through, a new slab or prehung door is the better buy, and we tell you which on the call.
Not for a repair. Rehanging a door, rebuilding a frame, a new slab in the old frame or new hardware are ordinary repairs. Laguna Niguel does not publish a rule for swapping an exterior door, so we check with its building division for your address before you buy one, and an enlarged opening always takes a permit.
Parts of Laguna Niguel near the regional park and the open space are now in the very high fire hazard zone. A new exterior door there may have to meet the state's wildfire standard, so we check your address before you order the door.
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s on the hills, with doors that have settled with the house. We true the frame, rehang the door so it swings and latches, and replace the doors past saving with the ones you buy.
Family homes with sliders to the view and builder interior doors. We replace slider rollers, swap split doors for prehung doors and fix garage-to-house doors so they close on their own.
Larger homes with heavy entry doors and French doors in the ocean air. We rehang heavy doors on hinges sized for them, realign French doors and replace salt-worn hardware.
Say what the door does, or send a photo of it, and you have a written price on that same call, before a visit is booked. No one drives out to look first.
From our Irvine office the truck brings shims, strikes, hinges, jamb stock, weatherstrip and the usual locksets, so a trued frame, a rehang or a lock swap wraps up the first time out.
Measure first, buy second. We size the opening so your door arrives with the right width and swing, then rebuild or true the frame and hang it so it stays square on the hill.
We carry out the old door and trim, sweep the area and leave you a one-year workmanship warranty in writing, on the invoice, covering the repair or the install.
Rehanging a door, rebuilding a frame, a new slab or new hardware are ordinary repairs that need no permit. Laguna Niguel does not publish a rule for exterior door swaps, so we check with the city for your address before you buy one, and an enlarged opening takes a permit. The 2025 map put parts of the city, around Laguna Niguel Regional Park and Chaparosa Park, in the very high fire hazard zone.
California's residential code wants the door between the garage and the house to be solid wood or steel at least 1-3/8 inches thick, or rated for 20 minutes, and to close and latch on its own. Many older homes have a hollow-core door there or a closer that quit; we install the right door and the closer.
Most Laguna Niguel neighborhoods have associations, from the original master plan on. A repair that matches needs nothing; a new front door or a new color usually needs the association's form first, and we put the size, style and finish in writing for it.

Call 714-844-1582Priced on the call, scheduled within days, and for most repairs finished in one visit. Text a photo of the door and the gap and the technician comes out from Irvine with the hinges, shims, strikes and jamb stock a hillside rehang needs.
Because the house has moved. As a hillside home settles, the frame racks out of square, the door binds at the top and the latch misses the strike. We true the frame and rehang the door; if the slope itself is moving, we tell you on the call.
A rehang with a new strike sits at the small end. A frame rebuilt from the sill up, or a new prehung door hung in it, sits at the big end. We put the price on the call from what you describe or photograph, in writing, and that is the figure you pay.
Yes. We lift the panel out, replace the rollers, true the track and reset the latch, and seal the frame against the wind. We do not replace glass; if a pane is the problem, we say so on the call.
We install doors; we do not stock or sell them. Buy the one you like from a door shop or a home center. Before you do, we measure the opening so the size and swing come out right. On the day, the frame is fixed first, then the door is hung, sealed, trimmed and fitted with its hardware.
Yes. Most of what we hang comes from Home Depot or Lowe's, prehung or slab. Send a photo of the label, or tell us the size and which way it swings, and the install price is set on the call. A frame that needs work gets flagged before the door shows up.
Not to repair one: rehanging, a frame rebuild, a new slab or new hardware are ordinary repairs. For a new exterior door we check Laguna Niguel's rule for your address before you buy it, and a larger opening always takes a permit. We tell you which applies on the call.
