Door Repair & Adjustment in Buffalo, NY

A door that binds, sags or refuses to catch is the kind of small irritation you shoulder past every day — right up until it won't shut at all. In Buffalo a lot of it comes down to age and cold: century-old wood doors swell and shrink with the humid summers and dry-heated winters, and decades of settling in an old frame throw the fit off. A drafty exterior door does the rest, letting the January wind straight in.

We track down what's actually wrong rather than reaching straight for the plane. That might be resetting hinges, adjusting the strike, shimming a jamb back to plumb, or easing a swollen slab so it clears cleanly year-round. Exterior and storm doors get their weatherstrip and sweep checked too, so you're not paying to heat the whole block.

What this covers

  • Sticking and dragging door correction
  • Hinge repair, replacement and reset
  • Strike plate and latch alignment
  • Interior and closet door rehang
  • Weatherstrip, sweep and threshold replacement
  • Storm and screen door repair
  • Original wood door adjustment
  • Deadbolt and handle set installation
A note from around here: Buffalo's old wood doors and settled frames are a constant — a slab that closes fine in July can bind in a damp spell, then rattle with a cold draft come January. We adjust for that swing and re-seal exterior and storm doors so the lake wind and the heating bill both stay where they belong.

Neighbors often ask

My door sticks in summer and drafts in winter — can that be fixed?

It can, and there's a proper way to go about it. We ease just enough for it to clear when the wood swells, without leaving a gap in the dry heated months, then sort out the weatherstrip so it seals tight against the cold. One door, both problems.

Can you cut down the cold draft at my back door?

We can. Fresh weatherstripping, a proper sweep and threshold, and a door that actually meets the frame all around make a real difference against Buffalo's winter wind — and against the heating bill that comes with it.
