Carlsbad door repairs and installs, from Terramar to La Costa, are covered by a one-year workmanship warranty, in writing.
Coast and age. Near the beach, salt spray seizes hinges and deadbolts and the marine layer keeps wood doors damp so they swell and stick. Inland, in La Costa and Calavera Hills, the sun cracks finishes and thirty-year-old sliders wear out their rollers. Drywood termites, common along the coast, work into the frames everywhere.
Near the coast, replace the hardware and save the door; inland, a sagging door needs a rehang more often than a new door. Big entry and French doors in Aviara and La Costa are almost always worth repairing. When a door is 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. Replacing an exterior door in its opening is a question we check with Carlsbad's building division before you buy the door, and an enlarged opening always takes a permit.
Aviara and La Costa homes often have heavy entry doors, sidelights and French doors that sag on their hinges and stop latching. We rehang them on hinges sized for the weight, reset the strike and the astragal, and keep the association's finish.
Older homes on bigger lots near the lagoon and the beach. Salt air takes the hardware and the damp swells the doors. We rehang and seal, replace hinges and locks with stainless, and rebuild frames gone soft at the threshold.
Planned neighborhoods, from the 1980s to the 2000s, with association styles. We swap split hollow-core doors for the prehung doors you pick, replace slider rollers and fix garage-to-house doors so they close on their own.
Larger homes with French doors, sliders and grand entry doors, and associations that review every change. We realign French doors, rehang heavy entry doors on hinges sized for them and match the approved style.
The price comes first. Tell us what the door does, or text a photo, and we write it up on that call, repair or install, before any date goes on the calendar.
Stainless hinges and strikes for the coast, shims, weatherstrip, jamb stock and the common locksets: all on the truck, so most Carlsbad repairs are done the first time we come.
We measure before you shop, so the door you bring home is the right size and swing for the opening. The frame comes first, repaired or rebuilt, and your door is hung in it plumb.
Old door, old trim and the packing all leave on the truck. The one-year workmanship warranty is in writing, and it covers the repair as well as the install.
Rehanging a door, rebuilding a frame, a new slab or new hardware are ordinary repairs that need no permit. For a new exterior door in the old opening we check Carlsbad's rule for your address before you buy it, and an enlarged opening takes a permit. In the coastal zone, improvements to an existing home are usually exempt from a coastal permit, but not within 50 feet of a bluff edge.
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.
Aviara alone has seventeen neighborhoods under a master association, and La Costa and Bressi Ranch have their own. 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 858-330-5590Within a few days, usually. The price is set on the call, and because hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, shims and jamb stock ride on the truck, a door that swells, sags or will not lock is normally repaired the day we arrive in Carlsbad. A new door is scheduled once it has been delivered.
Yes. We install the door the association approved, or match the existing style, finish and hardware on a repair. For a new front door we put the size, style and finish in writing for the association's form before you order it.
The problem sets the price. Replacing hinges or a strike plate is quick; rebuilding a termite-eaten frame or installing a new prehung door is a longer job and a bigger price. Describe the door, or text a photo, and the price arrives on the call, in writing, before any booking, with no surprises when the truck pulls up.
Yes. Near the beach we replace hinges, strike plates, deadbolts and closers with stainless or coated hardware, set with stainless screws, so the door does not seize again in a year.
We install doors; buying one is your part. Pick it out at a door shop or a home center, and have us measure first so the size and swing suit the opening, and so the association's form, where there is one, has the right details. After that: frame repaired, door hung and sealed, trim back on, hardware fitted.
Yes, prehung or slab, and that is most of what we hang. Send the size by text, or a photo of the label, and the install gets priced on the call. Near the beach we will suggest stainless hardware for it, and if the frame needs work first you hear that before the door is delivered.
Not to repair one: rehanging, a frame rebuild, a new slab or new hardware are ordinary repairs. For a new exterior door in the old opening we check Carlsbad'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.
