Door installation and repair seems like a pretty simple task, but anybody who has tried DIY door replacement will tell you how complicated it really is.

First, there is no universal door size and style. Also, due to the nature of the soils in the GTA Toronto and Southwestern Ontario in general, house foundations can shift and settle. When replacing a door into a shifted door frame, there can be lots of sanding and shimming involved to get the perfect fit. This process can take hours of work to make the door fit perfectly.

Replacing a Door

There are two different ways to replace a door and each method has its own particular challenges:

1. Replacing the door and frame with a prehung door: With this method, you will take out the actual door panel, as well as the door frame, in order to replace it with a new pre-hung door already in the frame. When removing the door frame, you will likely damage some of the surrounding trim and drywall which will require patching and painting.
2. Replacing a door panel into the existing frame: With this method, the existing door frame is left in place, and we only replace the actual door panel. This is the most common method of door replacement, but it can be difficult to get the perfect fit as mentioned above.

Fixing a Door

Sometimes we can avoid having to replace the whole door and get by with a simple fix of the existing door.

Common issues that we often repair include:

• Door not closing properly
• Door is sticking or not opening easily
• Bottom of door is chipped or cracked
• Door handle is broken or not working properly
• Door handle no longer lines up properly
• Pet damage to the door

Most of these issues can easily and quickly be fixed or patched, but in some cases we may recommend that you replace the door altogether.
