In Cary, as everywhere we work, the one-year workmanship warranty comes in writing with every door repair and install.
Age, humidity and termites. Cary's first planned communities, such as MacGregor Downs and Lochmere, date from the 1970s and 1980s, and their doors and frames are reaching fifty years. Summer humidity swells wood doors, red clay holds water at the foundation, and subterranean termites work into door frames in every part of the state.
In Cary's older communities the frame and the hinges usually fail before the door: a rebuilt jamb foot and a rehang save most entry doors. Split hollow-core doors are the exception, cheaper to replace, and we tell you which on the call.
Not for most door work. In Cary, as across North Carolina, replacing a door in a single-family home under $40,000 is exempt from a building permit, and rehangs and frame repairs are too. Cutting or widening an opening, or wiring a new powered lock, is different, and we tell you on the call.
Cary homes open to decks and screened porches through French doors that sag, rub in the middle and stop locking. Reset hinges, planed and sealed edges and a reset astragal bring them back together.
The older planned communities, with original doors and frames. We rebuild frames rotted at the sill, rehang entry doors and replace the doors past saving with the ones you buy.
Larger homes on golf courses and planned streets, with French doors and association styles. We realign French doors and install new doors the association approves.
The newer streets, where doors settle with the house. We adjust and rehang, swap hardware and fix garage-to-house doors.
Describe what is wrong with the door, or send a photo, and the price is given on that call and sent in writing. Scheduling waits until you have it.
Hinges, shims, strikes, jamb stock, weatherstrip and the common locksets are stocked on the truck before it leaves for Cary, so a rehang, a rebuilt jamb foot or a swapped lock is done the first visit.
We take the measurements and note the swing before you shop, so the door you bring home fits the opening. The frame is fixed first, and the door goes in plumb on top of it.
The old door, the pulled trim and the scraps leave with us. The one-year workmanship warranty is handed to you in writing, not spoken.
Under North Carolina law, replacing a door in a single-family home is exempt from a building permit when the job is $40,000 or less, and so are rehangs and frame repairs. A new doorway, a wider opening or new electrical work for a lock is where a permit can come back in.
The 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. Many older homes have a hollow-core door there; we install the right door, and the closer where one is needed.
Most Cary neighborhoods have associations with approved door styles and colors. A repair that matches needs nothing; a new front door usually needs the association's form first, and we put the size, style and finish in writing for it.

Call 919-585-1114Most Cary door repairs are priced during the first call and scheduled within a few days. Because the technician arrives with hinges, strikes, shims, weatherstrip and jamb stock, a sagging entry door, a rotted jamb foot or a lock that will not throw is usually fixed in that one visit.
Yes. We install the door the association approved, or match the existing style, finish and hardware on a repair, and we put the details in writing for the form.
A rehang, a reset strike or a new deadbolt is a small ticket. A frame rebuilt after termites or a new prehung door hung in the opening is a larger one. Describe the trouble, or send a photo, and the price comes on the call and in writing before we book anything.
Yes. We reset the hinges, plane the meeting edges, adjust the astragal and the bolts and reset the strike so both doors close and lock together.
Install only. You buy the door, at a home center or from a door shop; we hang it. We measure the opening first so what you order is the right size and swing. The frame is fixed, then the door set plumb, sealed, trimmed, hardware fitted. Prehung or slab, entry or interior.
Yes, and in Cary that is most of what we hang. Text a photo of the label, or give us the size and say prehung or slab, and the install price comes on the call. If the old frame needs rebuilding first, you hear it before the door is delivered.
For a same-size door in a single-family home, no: state law exempts door replacement under $40,000, and rehangs and frame repairs too. Changing the opening or adding wiring can need one, and we check before you buy the door.
