Door & Window Adjustments

Doors and windows that work again

Doors and windows move every day, and in a humid climate they move more. Doors swell and rub, hinges sag, strike plates drift out of line, and sliding doors fill their tracks with sand. We fix these everyday problems for homeowners in Stuart, Port St. Lucie, Palm City, Jensen Beach and Hobe Sound.

What we fix

• Interior and exterior doors that stick, rub or will not close
• Latches and deadbolts that do not line up with the strike
• Sagging hinges and loose door frames
• Sliding glass doors that drag: tracks cleaned, rollers adjusted
• Door knobs, levers, locksets and closet door hardware replaced
• Weatherstripping, thresholds and door sweeps on exterior doors
• Drafty windows sealed and caulked, window hardware replaced

Why Florida doors stick

Humidity makes wood doors swell, and houses settle. A door that closed fine in winter can rub all summer. The fix is rarely to just plane the door. We check the hinges, the frame and the strike first, tighten or shim what moved, and only then trim the door if it needs it, sealing any cut edge so it does not soak up more moisture.

Sliding glass doors

Sliders are everywhere on the Treasure Coast, and sand, salt and grit are hard on their tracks and rollers. We clean the track, adjust the rollers so the door glides, and replace worn handles and latches where parts are available. If a door or window needs full replacement, including impact-rated units, our parent company Home & Beyond Services handles window and door installation.

How a door and window visit works

1. Tell us what is sticking or leaking. Which doors or windows, and what they do.
2. We quote before we start. A clear price for the adjustments and any parts.
3. We fix, test and clean up. Every door is opened, closed and latched before we leave.

A door adjustment often goes with casing repair or weatherstripping and caulking. Put them on the same visit.

Common questions about door and window repair

Do you replace doors and windows?

The handyman team adjusts and repairs. Full door and window replacement is handled by Home & Beyond Services, our parent company.

Can you fix a sliding door that is hard to open?

Usually, yes. Most sliders need a clean track and roller adjustment. If a roller is worn out, we tell you what part it needs before we replace it.

Can you rekey or change locks?

We replace door hardware and locksets. We do not do locksmith work such as rekeying or master key systems.
