Fast building, clay and humidity. Many Apex homes went up quickly in new subdivisions, and doors move as new houses settle on red clay. Summer humidity swells wood doors, water at the foundation rots jamb feet, and subterranean termites find the soft wood. The fix is usually a trued frame and a rehang.
In Apex most door trouble is settling, not a worn-out door: a trued frame and a reset strike fix it. Builder hollow-core doors that split are the exception, cheaper to replace, and we tell you which on the call.
Rarely. State law in North Carolina lets a homeowner in Apex replace doors without a building permit when the job is $40,000 or less, and repairs cost far less than that. A new doorway or a wider opening is the line, along with any new wiring.
Homes in Apex's newer subdivisions settle for years, and doors are the first to show it: binding at the top, a gap at the bottom, a latch that misses. Shimming the frame and moving the strike bring them back.
Older homes near the historic downtown with original doors. We rebuild frames, rehang doors and replace the ones past saving with the doors you buy.
The newest subdivisions, where doors settle with the houses. We true frames, rehang doors and reset strikes, and install new doors the association approves.
Family homes with decks and builder doors. We realign French doors, replace slider rollers and swap split interior doors.
Tell us what the door does, or send a picture of it. You get a written price on that call, and nothing goes on the calendar until you say yes.
The truck rolls into Apex with shims, hinges, strike plates, weatherstrip, jamb stock and the usual locksets already on board, which is why most repairs are done the first time out.
Before you buy, we measure the opening and note the swing, so the door that comes home fits. Then the frame is trued and the new door goes in plumb.
The old door and the trim we pulled ride away on the truck, and your one-year workmanship warranty is written down before we leave the driveway.
A door replacement in a single-family home needs no building permit in North Carolina when the work is $40,000 or less; the statute names doors outright. Repairs need none. New openings and new wiring are the exceptions we check before you buy the door.
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 Apex subdivisions 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.

Call 919-585-1114Call, or text a picture of the door, and it is priced on that call. Most Apex repairs go on the schedule within days, and a rehang, a reset strike or a rebuilt jamb foot is normally finished in one visit, because the parts ride on the truck.
New houses settle in their first years, and the door frames move with them. We shim and true the frame and reset the strike, so the door closes and latches again.
Small jobs are a rehang or a new strike plate, which is most of what settling does to an Apex door. A frame rebuilt after rot, or a new door installed, is a bigger job. Either way you hear the price on the call and get it in writing before we schedule.
Yes. You pick the prehung or slab doors and we install them in the existing openings, trim and hardware fitted, a whole floor in a day or two.
We install the door; you buy it. Pick it out at a home center or a door shop after we have measured the opening, so the size and swing are right. We true the frame first, then hang, seal and trim the door and fit the hardware, prehung or slab.
Yes. Most of the doors we hang in Apex came from Home Depot or Lowe's. Give us the width and height and say prehung unit or slab, or send a picture of the sticker on the door, and the install is priced on the call. If the frame needs work first, you hear that before the door is delivered.
Rarely. North Carolina names door replacement among the single-family work under $40,000 that needs no building permit. A new doorway or new electrical work is the exception, and we say so on the call.
