Door Repair & Adjustment in New Bedford, MA
A door that sticks, drops or won't latch is one of those daily annoyances you learn to shove past — until it won't shut at all. In New Bedford a lot of it is the age of the house: old solid-wood doors swell in the humid summers and shrink in the dry heat of winter, and a settled frame in a hundred-year-old home rarely stays perfectly square.
We find the real cause instead of just planing wood off. That might be resetting old hinges, adjusting the strike, shimming a jamb back toward plumb, or easing a swollen slab so it clears cleanly through the year. Exterior doors get their weatherstrip and threshold checked too, so a cold nor'easter draft and your heating bill both stay outside where they belong.

Neighbors often ask
My door only sticks in the summer — is it worth fixing?
Yes — and it pays to do it correctly. We ease just enough for it to clear when the wood is swollen without leaving a gap in the dry winter, so it works the whole year rather than only half of it.
Can you make my exterior door seal better against winter drafts?
We can. Fresh weatherstripping, a proper threshold and a door that actually meets the frame all around make a real difference against a cold coastal wind — and against the heating bill, too.
