Door Repair & Adjustment for Highland Park, Illinois homes
A door that sticks, drags on the carpet or won't stay latched is almost never the door's fault. It's the opening, the hinges, or a jamb that has taken one kick too many.
Highland Park runs from century-old homes near the ravines to mid-century houses further west, and the two want very different carpentry. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Highland Park job is the one who shows up to do it.
The bigger version is jamb repair: a split hinge mortise or a kicked-in latch side gets cut out, rebuilt with solid stock, and the casing replaced so the repair disappears under paint.

Common questions
Door Repair & Adjustment in Highland Park, answered
Do you do door repair & adjustment in Highland Park?
Yes. Highland Park is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.
My door won't latch anymore. Is that a big job?
Usually not. Houses settle and the strike ends up a fraction off the latch. Moving the strike or shimming a hinge fixes most of them in under an hour. If the jamb is split it's a longer job, and we'll say so when we look.
How much does it cost?
Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
