Clay, humidity and termites. Garner homes sit on red clay that holds water at the foundation, so jamb feet and sills rot, and eastern subterranean termites, found in every North Carolina county, move into the soft wood. Summer humidity swells wood doors. Older homes near downtown have original doors and frames.
In Garner the frame and the sill fail before the door: termites and wet clay take the jamb feet. A rebuilt frame and a rehang save most doors, and we tell you on the call when a new door is the better buy.
Rarely. State law in North Carolina lets a homeowner in Garner 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.
Subterranean termites travel up from the soil through mud tubes and eat the bottom of door frames and sills from the inside. Soft wood at the jamb foot is the sign. We rebuild the frame once the pest company has treated the house.
Older homes with original doors and frames. We rebuild frames termites and rot got into, rehang the doors and seal them.
Newer subdivisions with association styles. We rehang entry doors, replace slider rollers and install new doors the association approves.
Family homes near the water and the woods, with porches and patio doors. We rebuild sills, rehang porch doors and fix garage-to-house doors.
Say what is wrong, or send a photo, and the technician's price comes on the call and in writing. Nothing is scheduled until you have read it.
Hinges, strikes, shims, weatherstrip, jamb stock and the common locksets ride to Garner on the truck, which is why a door that sticks, sags or will not lock is usually finished the day we come.
We measure before you shop, so the size and the swing of the door you buy are right. The frame comes first, trued or rebuilt, and then your door is hung in it.
The rotted jamb, the old door and the trim leave on the truck. Your one-year workmanship warranty is put in writing and left with you.
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.
Many of Garner's newer streets have associations with approved door styles; older neighborhoods mostly do not. A repair that matches needs nothing; for a new front door we put the size, style and finish in writing.

Call 919-585-1114Most Garner repairs are priced during the call and on the schedule within days. The technician brings hinges, strikes, weatherstrip, shims and jamb stock, so a rehang, a new strike or a lock swap is done in one visit. A termite-damaged frame waits only for the pest treatment.
Soft or hollow wood at the bottom of the jamb or the sill, blistered paint and mud tubes on the foundation nearby. We rebuild the frame; treating the termites is a job for a licensed pest company.
It depends on what went wrong. Hinges, a strike plate or a rehang are quick, small jobs. A frame rebuilt after termites, or a new prehung door installed, takes longer and costs more. Describe the door or text a photo and the price comes on the call, in writing, before we book it.
Yes. We rehang the door so it closes tight, replace the weatherstrip and the sweep and adjust the threshold, so the humid air stays out and the cool air stays in.
We install, we do not sell. You buy the door, home center or door shop, and we measure the opening first so you get the right size and swing. On the day, the frame is fixed, then the door is hung, sealed, trimmed and fitted with its hardware. Prehung or slab, inside or out.
Yes, most doors we install in Garner came from Home Depot or Lowe's. Give us the size, say prehung or slab, or send a photo of the sticker, and the install is priced on the call. If the opening needs rebuilding first, you hear so before the door arrives.
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.
