Door Repair & Adjustment in Lebanon, TN
A door that sticks every humid July afternoon or swings open on its own has a way of wearing on a household, and here in Middle Tennessee our swampy summers and seasonal settling give doors plenty of excuses to misbehave. We plane edges, reset hinges, adjust strike plates, and rehang doors so they latch softly and stay put, interior and exterior alike.
We also install new doors when the old one is past saving — entry doors, storm doors, bedroom doors, and barn-style sliders. Every install gets shimmed square and sealed properly, because a well-hung door is one of those quiet comforts a home ought to have.

A word from around here: Between Lebanon's humid summers and the ground movement common across Wilson County, door frames shift a little every year. We see swollen exterior doors near the Cumberland University area and settling frames in newer builds alike, and we adjust for the climate, not just the moment.
Folks often ask
Why does my door only stick in summer?
Middle Tennessee humidity swells wood doors and jambs, so a door that glides all winter drags come July. We plane and seal the edges properly — sealing is the step folks skip — so the fix lasts through next summer too.
Can you fix a door without replacing it?
Most of the time, yes. Sagging usually traces back to loose hinges or a shifted frame, and adjustments, longer screws, or a strike plate move will cure it for far less than a new door. We'll tell you honestly when replacement makes better sense.
Do you install customer-purchased doors?
We surely do. Pick out your door at the home center in Lebanon or Mt. Juliet, and we'll handle pickup arrangements if needed, hang it square, mortise the hinges, and set the hardware so it closes like it grew there.
