THE SAN MARCOS DOOR GUIDE

Know your door before
you call anyone

Why San Marcos doors fail

Heat and use. San Marcos summers are hot, and the sun on south and west faces cracks door finishes and dries out the weatherstrip. Newer homes in San Elijo Hills are reaching the age where sliders and hinges wear; older homes around Twin Oaks Valley have frames that have settled and gone soft at the threshold. Large parts of the city sit in the 2025 very high fire hazard zone.

Repair or replace?

In San Marcos the heat wears the weatherstrip and the finish first: a rehang, new seals and a sealed bottom rail keep most doors working. A split hollow-core door or a door rotted through is cheaper to replace, and we tell you which on the call.

Do I need a permit?

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 San Marcos's building division before you buy the door, and an enlarged opening always takes a permit.

Keeping the heat out

Inland summers flatten weatherstrip, crack the finish on sunny doors and open gaps at the threshold. A tight rehang, new weatherstrip and a door sweep keep the heat and the dust out, and a sealed bottom rail stops the finish from peeling.

SAN MARCOS, HILLS TO VALLEY

Where the house sits decides
what the door does

Kaminskiy has repaired and hung San Marcos doors since 2005. The planned hills, the older valley and the lake each need different things.
THE SOUTH HILLS

San Elijo Hills, Discovery Hills, Discovery Meadows, Santa Fe Hills

Master-planned homes from the 2000s with association styles and wide sliders. We replace slider rollers, adjust doors that settled with the house and install the new doors the association has approved.

THE VALLEY

Twin Oaks Valley, Richland, Coronado Hills, Old Creek Ranch

A mix of older homes and newer tracts. Frames go soft at the threshold and entry doors sag. We rebuild the frame, rehang and seal the door, and replace the doors past saving with the ones you buy.

THE LAKE AND THE WEST

Lake San Marcos, Rancho Dorado

Homes around the lake, including a 55-plus section, and newer streets to the west. We make doors easy to open and lock, fix garage-to-house doors so they close on their own and realign French doors.

WHAT A VISIT LOOKS LIKE

One call, priced
before we come

01Call, or text a photo

We price the repair or the install on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.

02One visit, truck stocked

Shims, hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, jamb stock and the common locksets come along, so most repairs finish the day we arrive.

03Your door, hung right

We measure first so you buy the right size and swing, then hang the door you bought, frame fixed first so it stays true.

04Clean up, warranty in writing

The work area is cleaned before we leave, and every repair and install carries our one-year workmanship warranty.

We install doors, we do not sell them: you buy the door, we measure for it and hang it. Not our lane: glass replacement, garage doors and commercial automatic doors. If that is what you need, we tell you on the call.
RULES WORTH KNOWING

Permits, the garage-to-house door
and HOAs, in plain words

Permits

Rehanging a door, rebuilding a frame, a new slab or new hardware are ordinary repairs that need no permit. San Marcos does not publish a door rule, so for a new exterior door we check with the building division for your address before you buy it, and an enlarged opening takes a permit. In the very high fire hazard zone the new door may have to meet the wildfire standard.

The garage-to-house door

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.

HOAs and historic homes

San Elijo Hills and most newer neighborhoods have associations with approved door styles. 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.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Can't find your answer? Call 858-330-5590 and ask us anything.

Call 858-330-5590

Call or text a photo and we price it right away; most repairs are on the schedule within days. Rehangs, frame repairs, new weatherstrip and lock swaps are one-visit jobs, because the parts come on the truck.

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.

It depends on what failed: a rehang and a new strike cost far less than a rebuilt frame or a new prehung door. Tell us what the door is doing, or text a photo, and we give you the price on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled. No surprises at the house.

Yes. We rehang the door so it closes tight, replace the weatherstrip and the door sweep, and adjust the threshold, so the heat and the dust stay out.

We install them. You pick and buy the door, from a home center or a door shop, and we install it: we measure first so you buy the right size and swing, fix the frame, then hang, seal, trim and fit the hardware. Prehung or slab, interior or exterior, French or patio.

Yes, that is most of our installs. Tell us the size and whether it is prehung or a slab, or text a photo of the label, and we price the install on the call. If the opening needs work first, we tell you before the door arrives.

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 San Marcos'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.
