Whether you are near Fort Rucker's main gate, over in the Daleville Avenue corridor, or on the the AL-85 area side of Daleville, it is the same coverage and the same crew.
A lot of what we see in Dale County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

The Wiregrass gets punishing summer heat and enough tropical rain that hurricane remnants are a normal part of the year, not an exception. Sally and Michael both did door and window damage this far inland.
Wet weather raises indoor humidity noticeably, and the interior doors that stick after several rainy days are responding to that rather than to anything structural.
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 Daleville lasts, and the same repair done cheaply does not.
Local factors we account for in Daleville: heavy rainfall and storm wind — typical of the Wiregrass.

- 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.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
- 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 quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- 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.

Pricing on interior door repair depends on what has actually failed, which is why we talk it through before quoting. These are the things that move the number:
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- whether the frame also needs correcting
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 Daleville.
One call gets you an answer.We will tell you what is wrong and what it takes to fix.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Daleville: questions we get asked
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Daleville homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
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.
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.
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.
