Door Repair & Adjustment in Waukegan, IL
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.

Door Repair & Adjustment for Waukegan, 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.
Waukegan is the county seat and has some of the oldest housing stock in Lake County, which is where most of our repair and matching work comes from. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Waukegan 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 Waukegan, answered
Do you do door repair & adjustment in Waukegan?
Yes. Waukegan 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.
