## Rotted Door Frames in Greensboro: Cut Out, Not Covered Up

The bottom of a door frame is the wettest wood on a house — splash-back, leaf piles, decades of Triad humidity. When it goes soft, handymen reach for filler and paint; a year later it's rot all the way through. We [cut the decay out to sound wood](/rotten-wood-repair/), fabricate a matching piece from laminated lumber, splice it in and seal it. From $475, and the repair outlives the original.
- Frame and jamb rot — cut out and rebuilt, from $475
- Door bottoms and sashes — rebuilt from $575
- Thresholds and brickmould — replaced to match
- No filler, no foam, no comebacks

## Door Repair in Greensboro — FAQ

**Q: The bottom of my door frame crumbles when I press it. How bad is that?**

A: Bad enough to fix this season, not bad enough to panic: frame-bottom rot is the most common door repair in Greensboro. We cut to sound wood and rebuild with laminated lumber from $475. Left alone, the rot climbs — and what's a frame repair today becomes frame-plus-subfloor next year.

**Q: What does 'door restoration' actually include?**

A: Whatever the door needs to work and look right: rot spliced out of frame or door bottom, hinges reset so it swings true, lock and latch serviced ($175), weatherstripping renewed ($175), finish repaired. The point is keeping a good door — especially the old-growth ones — out of the landfill.

**Q: My door scrapes the floor and won't latch without a shoulder. Worn out?**

A: Sagged, not worn out. Hinge screws pull loose, the door drops, and suddenly the latch misses the strike. The fix is usually re-hanging with proper anchoring — sometimes a jamb repair if the wood has gone soft. Rarely more than a single visit.

**Q: Sliding patio door barely moves anymore. Same trade?**

A: Same trade: worn rollers replace for $475 ($535 with wheels), the track gets cleaned and dressed, and the door glides again. The five-figure replacement pitch stays where it belongs.

**Q: Can you match the trim profile on an older frame?**

A: Yes — replacement pieces are fabricated to copy the original profile, so the spliced section disappears under paint. That's the difference between a rebuild and a patch.

**Q: How fast do you get to Greensboro?**

A: The Triad crew is local — most door jobs are booked within days, measured on the first visit, and finished once any custom wood is fabricated.
