Door and Window Repair (or Replacement) in Charlotte
Doors that stick. Locks that catch. Frames rotted at the bottom. Windows foggy or letting in humidity. Charlotte homes — old and new — develop these problems constantly because of the humidity, the foundation movement, and the seasonal swings. We fix all of it. And when a unit is beyond fixing, we replace the whole thing — door or window — with a brand-new one from Home Depot or Lowe’s.
Common Door Problems We Fix
Door won’t close, latch, or lock The #1 problem we see in Charlotte. Humidity swells wood doors, and foundation settling shifts the frame. We can plane the door, shim hinges, realign the strike plate, or replace worn weatherstripping. Most fixes are $75-$175 and done the same day.
Rotted or split door frame Water damage at the bottom of an entry door frame is extremely common in Charlotte. If the rot is local we patch it; if it’s structural we replace the full pre-hung unit. We pick the new door up at Home Depot or Lowe’s and install it for you.
Broken or loose locks and hardware Deadbolts that won’t turn, handles that fall off, latches that don’t catch — almost always a hardware swap. Loose hinges from settling get reinforced or replaced. New smart locks installed and configured.
Door frame damage from forced entry Split frames around the lock area, broken strike plates, kicked-in doors. We repair or replace the unit and reinforce the strike with a security plate.
Common Window Problems We Fix
Foggy, cracked, or leaking windows A foggy window means the seal is broken — that pane can’t be saved. We pick up a matching unit at Home Depot or Lowe’s, remove the old one, and install the new one. If it’s only a hardware issue (won’t lock, won’t stay open, broken crank), we repair it for $50-$150 per window.
Drafty or humid window frames You can feel cold air or hear wind around a window? Almost always the weather strip or seal. We replace it and the room gets noticeably more comfortable — and your energy bill drops.
Windows that won’t stay open or won’t lock Older Charlotte homes have balance systems (springs/weights) that wear out. We replace them. Window locks get swapped for new ones to restore security.
Painted-shut windows Previous painters seal them up. We free them without damaging the frame.
