Door repair and installation
Sticking doors, rotten frames, new exterior and interior doors, and historic door restoration, all fitted by hand.
How John Approaches Door repair and installation
Doors take more daily abuse than almost anything in a house. They swell, sag, drift out of square as the house settles, and rot at the bottom of the frame where water collects. A door that sticks, drags, or leaves daylight around the edges is usually telling you something about the frame, the hinges, or the house itself.
John repairs and installs doors for homes across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and the Treasure Valley, from a single sticking bedroom door to new exterior entries and full restoration of original solid wood doors. Every door is fitted by hand so it swings freely, latches cleanly, and seals well.

Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Diagnose the cause
John checks hinges, frame, floor, and framing to learn whether the door, the jamb, or the house has moved.
- 2
Repair or replace
You get a clear recommendation on whether the existing door can be repaired, rehung, or should be replaced, and what each option involves.
- 3
Fit and hang by hand
Doors are planed, shimmed, and hung so reveals are even, the swing is smooth, and the latch catches cleanly.
- 4
Seal and trim
Weatherstripping, thresholds, and casing are installed to keep water and drafts out and to match the surrounding trim.
Most Doors Can Be Saved
A sticking or drafty door often needs adjustment, a frame repair, or new weatherstripping rather than replacement. When an original solid wood door is worth keeping, John restores it.
New Doors That Look Original
When a new door is the right choice, John matches casing, hardware, and proportions so it fits the house rather than standing out.
