What's the honest fix?** A: Cut it out and rebuild — from $475. Bubbling paint means water is living in the wood; filler over it fails within a year. We splice in laminated lumber milled to the original profile, seal the water path, and the frame stops being the weakest point of the house. **Q: Does 'door restoration' mean stripping and refinishing too?** A: It means whatever brings the door back: rot spliced out, geometry reset, hardware serviced, glass re-glazed, finish repaired where we've worked. Full furniture-grade refinishing is a different trade — we'll be straight about where our scope ends. **Q: The door drags every summer and shrinks back every winter. Fixable, or just Charlotte?** A: Both — it's Charlotte humidity working on a door that's lost its margins. Re-hanging with proper anchoring restores the gap the seasons need. If the frame has settled or rotted at a hinge, that wood gets rebuilt in the same visit. **Q: Is the lock-side damage from our break-in this page or the hardware page?** A: Both trades, one truck: splintered frame wood rebuilds here (from $475), locks and strikes are the hardware catalog ($175). In practice it's one visit and one written sheet — the split only matters to the search engine. **Q: Sliding patio door too?** A: Yes — rollers ($475), track service, lock ($175) and foggy panel swaps (from $198). The five-figure new-slider pitch stays where it belongs. **Q: How fast can you look at our door?** A: Charlotte is home territory — assessments book within days, and most repairs finish in one visit once any custom wood is milled. ## Serving Charlotte & Surrounding Areas Historic entries in Fourth Ward, builder doors in Steele Creek — one bench restores them all.
