We take Lipscomb work across the whole town, the Avenue G corridor through the Bessemer Super Highway, and we cross into Bessemer and Homewood on the same trips.
Between the established parts of Lipscomb and the newer subdivisions, we see two different kinds of failure: worn-out frames on one side of town and worn-out hardware on the other.

Two storm seasons a year, spring and late fall, push water and debris against exterior doors across the metro.
Household dust in hinge knuckles is what makes interior doors squeak, and grit in bifold and pocket door tracks is what makes them bind and jump.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
We see the pattern often enough across Jefferson County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Lipscomb: grit and dust and storm wind — typical of the Birmingham metro.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What happens when we get there
- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Tell sag from swelling from frame movementThey present identically and need completely different work, so this is worth getting right before anything is cut.
- Try the reversible fix firstA door planed in a wet August is a door with a gap in January, so we exhaust adjustment before removing material.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- Set the latch to close quietlyA door should latch with a light push and stay latched without rattling.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one. We flush the running surfaces properly on metro jobs rather than just wiping them, since fine clay packs into places a cloth will not reach.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Lipscomb: questions we get asked
Are bifold closet doors worth repairing?
Usually yes. The pivots and top guides are inexpensive parts and they are what fails. The doors themselves are rarely the problem.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Lipscomb homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Lipscomb it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
