A door that sticks in August and swings free in January is not a door problem. It is the house moving, and the fix depends on which way it is moving. We repair, replace, and install doors on cabins and homes across the North Georgia mountains, and we start by figuring out what is actually causing it.
Wood swells with humidity, so some seasonal stick is normal and a small plane and adjustment handles it. What is not normal is a door that has gotten worse every year, or a gap that has opened diagonally at the top corner. That is usually settling or a frame that has taken on water, and shaving the door just hides it for another season.
We look at the jamb and the reveal around the whole door before we touch the slab. If the frame is the problem, fixing the frame is the repair.
Exterior doors up here take driving rain and real temperature swings, and the failure is almost always at the seal rather than the door itself. If you feel a draft or see daylight at the bottom corner, weatherstripping and a new sweep are cheap and quick. If the bottom of the slab has gone soft, it is time to replace it.
We cover the North Georgia mountains, plus the nearby corners of western North Carolina and southeast Tennessee. The shaded areas on the map are the ZIP codes we serve. Tap or hover on any area to see the town.
Send a photo of the door closed and one of the gap around it through the estimate form. That is usually enough for us to tell you whether it is an adjustment or a replacement. Door work batches well with other small jobs, so send the rest of the list too.
