Most of our Point Clear calls come from the Scenic 98 corridor and the Grand Hotel area, though we work the whole Baldwin County side of it and get out to Daphne regularly.
Door problems in Point Clear tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Point Clear weather does to interior door repair
Between roughly 65 inches of rain a year, near-constant humidity and a June-to-November hurricane season, coastal doors work harder than doors anywhere else in Alabama.
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.
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 factor that in on every interior door repair job around the Grand Hotel Golf Resort and the rest of Point Clear.
Local factors we account for in Point Clear: heavy rainfall and storm wind — typical of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895How we approach interior door repair
- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround. We check the drainage path on every coastal opening, because wind-driven rain gets in where ordinary rain never would.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Point Clear
What a interior door repair job costs comes down to a handful of things, and we would rather be straight about them up front:
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
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 Point Clear.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Point Clear: questions we get asked
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Point Clear 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.
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the 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 bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
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.
Why do my hinges squeak so much?
Dry pins. It takes a minute per door to fix properly, and the right lubricant matters because oil-based products collect dust and end up making the noise come back worse.
