Door Installation & Repair
Interior and exterior door installation, replacement, and repair -- including the sticking, swollen doors coastal humidity is famous for.
Doors take a beating in coastal North Carolina. Humidity swells them until they drag and stick, salt air corrodes hinges and locksets, and older exterior doors leak air and water where the weatherstripping gave up years ago. Coastal Concepts installs and repairs doors across Wilmington and the surrounding counties -- interior doors, entry doors, storm doors, and sliding or French patio doors.
An exterior door is part of your home's weather envelope, so we treat it that way: proper flashing, a solid threshold, and sealing that stands up to wind-driven rain, not just a door slab swapped into an old frame. On repairs, we adjust and plane swollen doors, replace corroded hardware, re-hang sagging doors, and fix damaged jambs. Every job gets a written scope before a firm quote, whether it's one sticking door or every door in the house.
Most door projects we handle run between $300 and $3,000 depending on the door and the condition of the opening. Call (910) 239-8500 for a free written estimate.
Common questions
My door sticks every summer -- can it be fixed without replacing it?
Usually, yes. Seasonal swelling can often be handled by adjusting hinges, planing the edge, and sealing the door so it stops absorbing moisture. If the door or frame is too far gone, we'll tell you straight and price a replacement.
Can you replace just the door without replacing the frame?
If the existing frame is square and sound, a slab replacement works and costs less. If the jamb is rotted or out of square -- common on older coastal homes -- a prehung unit is the better fix. We check during the estimate.
What exterior door material holds up best near the coast?
Fiberglass is the usual recommendation here -- it doesn't rust like steel or swell like wood. Whatever you choose, coastal-rated hardware matters just as much; standard hinges and locksets corrode fast in salt air.
