Uniontown is part of our regular Perry County territory, and between Main Street, the AL-61 corridor and the the Uniontown historic district area we are here most weeks.
Door problems in Uniontown 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.

Black Belt soil is the reason so many doors in this part of Alabama do not close right. That dark prairie clay swells dramatically when saturated and shrinks in a dry August, and a house sitting on it moves with it.
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.
Humid months swell interior door slabs, and any door that was already close on clearance starts binding at the top corner, which is far and away the most common interior door complaint in this climate.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Uniontown: heavy rainfall and sustained humidity — typical of the Black Belt.

- Ask which doors and whenOne door is a door problem. Five doors on one floor is a building problem, and the fix is different.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- 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. We note the reveal measurements on clay-soil jobs so that if it shifts again there is a baseline to compare against.
- Work through the listIf you have five annoying doors, we would rather fix all five in one visit than come back five times.

- whether the frame also needs correcting
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Uniontown: questions we get asked
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Uniontown 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.
