Door and Trim Repairs for Rental Units
A bedroom door that will not latch and a closet door off its track make a unit look unfinished. We test every door and fix the cause along with the symptom.

Why Property Managers Send Us Door & Trim Repairs
- Doors That Latch
- Doors are adjusted, planed or re-hung until they close and latch properly.
- Replace Only What Failed
- A split jamb gets a new jamb, not a whole new door, unless the slab is gone too.
- Painted to Match
- New doors and trim are painted on the same scope, so nothing is left raw.
Before the Doors Get Adjusted
Will the doors actually latch this time?
Every door is tested and adjusted, planed or rehung until it closes and latches.
Will I pay for a new door when only the jamb split?
No. A split jamb gets a new jamb unless the slab is gone too.
Is new trim left raw?
No. New doors and trim are primed and painted on the same scope.
Why do closet doors keep coming off the track?
Usually a worn or loose floor guide. We replace the guide, not just rehang the door.
When Doors Take a Beating Around DC
A move out sends furniture through every doorway. With moves peaking in August, summer is when the split casing and the door that will not latch pile up. Test every door at the walkthrough. See minor carpentry.
Get the Doors Latching Again
Note which doors stick, rub or will not latch. Hinges, strikes, jambs and casing are fixed on the same visit.
Request a Door and Trim Check
Testing the doors and pricing the fixes costs nothing. Each door and trim repair is listed in writing before work starts.
How the Project Runs

How we work
We fix why the door failed
A closet door that keeps leaving its track gets a new floor guide fixed down, because rehanging it alone means the same call next month. Rekeying to a master key system stays with your locksmith.
