Priced on the call, in writing, before anything is scheduled.
Eight repairs, one crew, priced before we come out.
Wake Forest runs from a historic downtown and a mill village to big golf communities, so its doors range from century-old originals to new builder doors. We save the originals, rebuild frames and install the doors you choose.

Age, humidity and termites. Downtown Wake Forest and Glen Royall have homes a century old with original doors, and summer humidity swells them. Red clay holds water at the foundation and subterranean termites work into frames. In the newer communities, builder doors settle and sag.
In Wake Forest an original door is worth saving with a rebuilt frame and a rehang, and in the historic district it is the simpler path. Builder doors in the newer communities usually need hinges and a reset strike; we tell you on the call when a new door is the better buy.
Not for most door work. In Wake Forest, as across North Carolina, replacing a door in a single-family home under $40,000 is exempt from a building permit, and rehangs and frame repairs are too. Cutting or widening an opening, or wiring a new powered lock, is different, and we tell you on the call.
Downtown Wake Forest's historic district and its local landmarks need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission for exterior changes. Repairs that keep the original door avoid most of that, and we keep them to what is there.
Old homes and mill-village houses with original doors. We rebuild frames, rehang the originals and keep the repair to what was there in the historic district.
Golf communities with associations, heavy entry doors and French doors. We rehang heavy doors, realign French doors and install new doors the association approves.
Family homes with builder doors and porches. We rebuild termite-damaged frames, rehang porch doors and swap split interior doors.
Describe the door, or text a photo, and the price is read to you on that call and sent in writing. Nothing is scheduled until you have agreed to it.
Weatherstrip, shims, hinges, strikes, jamb stock and the common locksets are on the truck before it leaves for Wake Forest, so a rehang, a jamb rebuild or a lock swap is done in one visit.
Measure first, then buy: we size the opening and note the swing so the door you bring home fits. The frame is rebuilt or trued, and the door is hung plumb in it.
The old door and trim go out on the truck, the floor is swept, and the one-year workmanship warranty is written and left in your hand.
Under North Carolina law, replacing a door in a single-family home is exempt from a building permit when the job is $40,000 or less, and so are rehangs and frame repairs. A new doorway, a wider opening or new electrical work for a lock is where a permit can come back in.
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.
A local historic landmark, or a home in Wake Forest's historic district, needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission for exterior changes. Heritage, Hasentree and Traditions have associations that approve new doors on their own forms.

Call 919-585-1114Call or text a photo, and most Wake Forest repairs are priced right then and scheduled within a few days. Because hinges, strikes, shims, weatherstrip and jamb stock come on the truck, a swollen door, a sagging porch door or a lock that will not throw is usually fixed in one visit.
Usually, yes. An original door can almost always be rehung, its frame rebuilt and its bottom rail repaired. In the historic district any change to the outside needs the commission first, so a repair is the easy path.
Hinges, a strike plate or a rehang are the small jobs. A frame rebuilt after termites, or a new prehung door hung in the opening, is the larger job. Tell us what the door does, or send a photo, and the price comes on the call and in writing before anything is booked.
Yes. We rehang porch doors that sag and drag, replace the closers and the latches, and rebuild frames that have gone soft at the bottom.
We install only. You buy the door, at a home center or a door shop, once we have measured the opening so the size and swing are right. We fix the frame, then hang the door plumb, seal it, trim it and fit the hardware. Prehung or slab, entry or interior, French or patio.
Yes. Most of the doors we hang in Wake Forest came from Home Depot or Lowe's. Give us the size, prehung or slab, or text a picture of the label, and the install is priced on the call. If the frame needs rebuilding first, we tell you before the door comes.
For a same-size door in a single-family home, no: state law exempts door replacement under $40,000, and rehangs and frame repairs too. Changing the opening or adding wiring can need one, and we check before you buy the door.
