Doors That Bind, Warp, or Won't Seal. Austin's Door Crew Since 2010.

Sticking that worsens in Austin summers has two common causes. First, Hill Country clay soil expands and contracts with rainfall cycles, causing foundation movement that shifts the door frame out of square. Second, wood doors absorb humidity during Texas tropical storm season and swell against the frame. We diagnose both on-site: foundation-caused bind requires frame adjustment or new threshold work; humidity-caused bind often resolves with planing and a quality weatherseal. Call (888) 601-6005 and we confirm which applies before any work begins.

A standard residential entry door replacement in the Austin area typically runs $400 to $900 for a pre-hung steel or fiberglass door plus installation, not including any frame repair or sidelite work. Wood door replacements with custom sizing start higher. Exact pricing is quoted on site before work begins. Factors that affect cost: door material, door size, frame condition, hardware upgrade, and whether weatherstripping needs replacement at the same visit.

Yes. The two most common causes of a hard-sliding patio door in Austin homes are worn or debris-filled rollers and a warped or settled frame. We clean and replace the roller assembly on most standard sliding doors in one visit. If the frame has shifted due to slab movement, we adjust the threshold and track to restore smooth operation. We carry replacement roller sets for common brands on the vehicle.

Austin summers put weatherstripping under extreme UV and thermal stress. We replace door sweeps, compression seals, and foam bulb weatherstrip for all standard door types including steel entry, wood, sliding patio, and French doors. A full perimeter weatherseal replacement typically takes 45 to 90 minutes per door and immediately reduces air infiltration. We carry Q-Lon compression seals and commercial-grade door sweeps rated for Texas heat.

Yes. Steel security screen doors and reinforced entry doors can be installed on most standard residential frames in Austin and Central Texas. We assess the existing frame condition, rough opening dimensions, and jamb depth before recommending a security door grade. All security door installations include reinforced strike plates and 3-inch frame screws that anchor into the wall stud. License License #B19847. Available seven days a week.

A standard single exterior door replacement typically runs $600 to $1,500 installed depending on door material (steel, fiberglass, wood) and hardware quality. Specialty doors, double-door entries, and doors requiring frame repair cost more. We give a written quote on site before any work begins.

Yes. Sticking and binding in Texas summers has two common causes: wood expansion from humidity, and foundation movement that shifts the frame out of plumb. We shave or plane the door edge, or re-hang the door if the frame has shifted. For severe frame damage we recommend a full frame replacement.

Yes. Security doors with heavier cores and multi-point lock systems resist kick-in. We also install reinforced strike plates, 3-inch screws into the wall stud, and Door Armor kits on existing doors to improve security without full replacement.

We secure the opening tonight: board-up if the frame is compromised, or emergency lock replacement if only the lock was damaged. We return for permanent frame and jamb repair and rekey or replace all affected locks. See our burglary damage repair page for the full process.
