Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
San Jose is big and varied: prewar homes in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden, tract homes across Cambrian and Berryessa, and hillside homes in Almaden and Evergreen in the fire zone. We fix each the way it was built and install the doors you choose.

Heat, age and hills. San Jose summers run warmer than the Peninsula's, so finishes crack and weatherstrip dries out on doors that face the sun. Willow Glen and the Rose Garden have homes from the 1910s to the 1940s with original doors and settled frames. And the hillside neighborhoods sit in fire zones that set rules for a new exterior door.
In San Jose most door calls are a rehang, a new strike, slider rollers or a rebuilt frame, not a new door. Old Willow Glen doors are worth saving. When a door is split or rotted through, we install the one you bought, and we tell you which on the call.
No permit for a repair. San Jose permits work that alters framing, so a larger opening needs one; for a same-size exterior door swap we check the city rule for your address before you buy, and in the hillside fire zone a new door may have to meet the wildfire standard.
Almaden, Evergreen and the Alum Rock foothills include very high fire hazard areas on San Jose's 2025 maps. A new exterior door there may need to meet the state wildfire standard, so we check the map for your address before you buy.
Craftsman, Tudor and Spanish homes with original doors. We rehang and plane them, rebuild frames and fit new hardware, and check the historic rules before a new front door.
Ranch and tract homes from the 1950s to the 1980s. We rehang entry doors, replace slider rollers, swap hollow-core doors and fix garage-to-house doors.
Larger homes with French doors and sliders, some in the very high fire hazard zone. We realign and reseal, and check the fire zone before a new exterior door.
Phone in what the door is doing, or text over a photo. The price is worked out on that call and sent in writing, and we schedule the visit only once you have approved it.
The truck comes over from Sunnyvale with hinges, shims, strike plates, weatherstrip, a few lengths of jamb stock and the usual locksets already loaded, so a San Jose repair almost always finishes on the first visit.
Buy the door after we measure, not before, so the size and swing match the opening you have. On the day, the frame is trued first and the door you bought is hung to close tight against the heat.
Your old door and trim leave on the truck and the floor is clean when we go. The invoice states the one-year workmanship warranty in writing, for the rehang, the rebuild or the install.
Ordinary repairs need no permit. San Jose permits work that alters the framing, so a larger opening takes one, and a same-size swap we confirm for your address. In 2025 San Jose adopted new hillside fire hazard maps with about 7,200 very high acres, where a new exterior door may have to meet the wildfire standard.
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.
Many of the newer neighborhoods, in Evergreen, Silver Creek and Almaden, have associations that approve exterior doors. City landmarks and landmark districts need a historic permit for exterior changes, and conservation areas such as Naglee Park have design guidelines. A repair that matches needs nothing.
Can't find your answer? Call 408-916-4022 and ask us anything.
Call 408-916-4022Usually within days. The repair is priced on the call, and the truck from Sunnyvale carries hinges, shims, strike plates, seals and jamb stock, so a San Jose rehang, frame repair or lock swap is done in one visit rather than two.
Yes. We rehang the door so it closes tight, replace the weatherstrip and the sweep and adjust the threshold, so the heat and the dust stay out and the air conditioning stays in.
The small end is a rehang or a new strike plate; the big end is a jamb rebuilt in new stock or a new door installed. Say what the door does or text a photo, and the price is set on that call and put in writing before a date is picked. The quoted price is the price at the house.
Yes. Repairs need no review. For a new front door on a city landmark or in a conservation area, we tell you what the historic permit needs and install a door that fits the house.
We install. The door itself you buy, at a home center or a door shop, once we have measured, so the size and the swing come out right. In Naglee Park or on a city landmark we tell you what the historic review needs first. Then the frame is fixed, the door hung, sealed and trimmed, and the hardware fitted.
Yes, prehung or slab. That is most of the doors we hang in San Jose. Text a photo of the label with the size, and you have the install price on that call. When the opening needs the frame rebuilt first, we say so before you buy, not after.
Not for a repair. A larger opening takes one, and for a same-size exterior door swap we check the city rule for your address. In the hillside fire zone the door may need to meet the wildfire standard; we tell you on the call.
