Between Madison proper, the Downtown Madison area and the newer building out toward Clift Farm, we stay busy in Madison County, and Meridianville is close enough that we are often nearby.
A lot of what we see in Madison County comes down to age. Houses built decades ago have solid frames with tired hardware; houses built recently have sound hardware in frames that are still settling.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Madison conditions and interior door repair
River humidity off the Tennessee keeps interior air damp well into October, then the first hard freeze arrives and every seal, sweep and gasket in the house gets tested overnight.
Wet weather raises indoor humidity noticeably, and the interior doors that stick after several rainy days are responding to that rather than to anything structural.
Interior doors move seasonally with the house, and the dry heated air of winter shrinks door slabs enough that latches that fit tightly in summer start rattling in January.
We see the pattern often enough across Madison County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Madison: heavy rainfall and winter freezes — typical of the Tennessee Valley.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- 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.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary. We look at how the opening behaves wet and dry, since the fault often only appears in one half of the year.
- 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.
- Leave the set consistentDoors through a house should feel the same to use. We adjust the others while we are there rather than leaving one odd one.

There is no single price for interior door repair in Madison, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Madison.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Madison: questions we get asked
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
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.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
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.
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 pocket door be fixed without tearing open the wall?
Very often, yes. Most pocket door repairs come down to the roller hangers, and on many systems the door can be removed and the hangers replaced through the opening without opening the wall.
