Most of our Andalusia calls come from Downtown Andalusia and the courthouse square, though we work the whole Covington County side of it and get out to Opp regularly.
Andalusia has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.
Sun through a large window will warm and dry one face of an interior door unevenly, and over years that can bow a hollow core slab enough that it stops latching.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
It is why the same repair done properly in Andalusia lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Andalusia: sun and heat load and storm wind — typical of the Wiregrass.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut.
- Try the reversible fix firstA door planed in a wet August is a door with a gap in January, so we exhaust adjustment before removing material.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling. In the Wiregrass we check tracks and channels for fine sand, which grinds moving parts flat faster than anything else in the state.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Andalusia
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a interior door repair job in Andalusia, the main variables are these:
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Andalusia.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Andalusia: questions we get asked
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Andalusia it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
Can a pocket door be fixed without tearing open the wall?
Very often, yes. Most pocket door repairs come down to the roller hangers, and on many systems the door can be removed and the hangers replaced through the opening without opening the wall.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
My bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
