A kicked-in door is not a ruined door
Have you ever had a door kicked in or slammed hard? Has someone fallen against one? No worries, it happens all the time and you are not alone. The jamb splits, the strike plate tears out, the trim cracks, and suddenly the door will not latch, or will not close at all. The good news is that the damage usually looks worse than it is. A skilled repair restores the strength of the frame and the look of the woodwork without the cost of tearing out and replacing the entire door system.
Replacement means a new pre-hung door, new trim on both sides, paint, and hours of labor. Repair means rebuilding the damaged section of the jamb, reinforcing it properly, and finishing it so you cannot tell anything ever happened. When repair is possible, and it usually is, it is faster, cleaner, and far easier on your wallet.
What we handle
- Kick-in and break-in damage. Split jambs and blown-out strike plates rebuilt and reinforced. After a break-in, we can also add longer screws and heavier hardware so the repaired door is stronger than the original.
- Slammed and impact-damaged frames. Cracks and splits from hard slams, moving accidents, or someone losing an argument with a doorway.
- Doors that will not latch or close. Sagging, rubbing, and misalignment corrected so the door swings and latches the way it should.
- Cracked or damaged trim and casing. Matched, replaced, and finished to blend with the surrounding woodwork.
- Weathered exterior jambs. Arizona sun and monsoon moisture are hard on exterior door frames. Soft or deteriorated wood is exactly the kind of thing our dry rot and termite damage repair experience covers.
- Finish work. Caulk, filler, sanding, and paint, so the repair disappears. If the whole door needs a fresh coat, our painting crew handles that too.
Why hire Husbands 2 Go
Door jamb repair is one of those jobs where experience shows. Get the geometry slightly wrong and the door rubs forever; rush the finish and the repair is visible from across the room. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured general contractor with more than 30 years of repair experience, and doors are bread-and-butter work for us. We fix the structure, the function, and the appearance, not just one of the three.
Like everything we do, the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee: you do not pay for project completion until you are completely satisfied.
What to expect
Snap a photo of the damage and we can usually give you a virtual estimate right over the phone. On job day the repair typically takes a few hours, not a few days. We rebuild the damaged wood, reinforce the frame, rehang or adjust the door as needed, test the latch and swing, and finish the surface to match. Then we clean up and you go back to using your door without thinking about it, which is the whole point.
