Why Doors Stop Closing Right
One of the most common calls we get is a door that suddenly sticks or won't latch. In San Diego it usually comes down to a few things:
- ✔ Loose hinge screws – the door sags and rubs at the top corner. Often fixed with longer screws into the frame.
- ✔ The house settling – the frame moves a little over time and the latch no longer lines up with the strike plate.
- ✔ Humidity – wood doors near the coast can swell in damp months and shrink in dry ones.
- ✔ Paint build-up – many layers of paint on the door edge and frame make it rub.
Most of these are quick fixes – usually no need to replace the whole door.
Finish Work That Makes a Room Look Done
Trim and baseboards are small details, but they make a big difference. Gaps, dents and pieces pulling off the wall make a room look tired even after new paint. We replace damaged pieces, re-nail loose trim, fill and caulk the gaps, and paint – so the room looks clean and finished. Pair it with our interior painting for a full refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you fix a door that won't close?
Yes. Most sticking or non-latching doors are fixed by tightening or adjusting hinges, moving the strike plate, or planing the edge – usually without replacing the door.
Do you install new interior doors?
Yes. We replace interior doors and install new handles, locks and hinges.
Can you replace just one damaged piece of baseboard or trim?
Yes. We cut out the damaged piece, fit a matching new piece, then fill, caulk and paint so it blends in.
Do you install shelves and mount TVs?
Yes. We install wall shelves and closet shelving and mount TVs and furniture securely into studs or with the right anchors.
