Door Repair
Door Repair for Southwest Florida
Doors that stick, drop, leak or will not latch. Hinges, seals and hardware fixed without replacing the door.
Most door problems are the frame, not the door. A door that sticks at the top corner has dropped. A door that lets water in has a failed threshold or a perished seal. A door that will not latch has a strike plate out of line with the bolt.
Hinge replacement or adjustment where the door has dropped. Weatherstrip and threshold seals where water or air is getting through. Lock, strike and multipoint hardware where it will not latch. Frame repair where the jamb has rotted or moved.
Which part it is. Hinges and weatherstrip are the cheapest. Hardware is more. Frame or jamb repair is the most, because that is carpentry before it is door work. We tell you which one you have at the assessment rather than after starting.
Repairing an existing door does not need a permit. If the door or its frame turns out to need replacing, that becomes a permitted job in Lee and Collier and we say so before any work begins.
What door repair covers explained
What door repair covers for Florida homes?
Most door problems are the frame, not the door. A door that sticks at the top corner has dropped. A door that lets water in has a failed threshold or a perished seal. A door that will not latch has a strike plate out of line with the bolt.
None of that needs a new door. It needs the right part and somebody willing to spend the time to adjust it properly. That is unglamorous work and it is most of what a door repair actually is, which is why so many people are quoted a replacement they do not need.
Done right it is the difference you feel every time you use it. A door that closes with one hand and latches first time, no draft, no daylight around the edge, no shoulder required. A good repair buys years out of a door that felt finished.

How it works
Our door repair process.
1.
Tell us what it is doing
Sticking, dropping, leaking or not latching. Each one points somewhere different.
2.
We come out and diagnose
Hinge, seal, hardware or frame. You get the honest answer including when it is not worth repairing.
3.
We fix it on site where we can
Hinges, seals and hardware are usually the same visit. Frame work sometimes needs a return.
4.
We test it with you
Closes and latches with one hand, and no daylight round the edge. That is the standard.

Ready to do this? Let’s get you a number.
Answer a few questions and you get a price on the spot. If you want it checked properly after that, we come out and measure every opening ourselves.
Why us for hurricane protection.
Anybody can quote hurricane protection. These are the four things you can go and check on us yourself, before you sign anything.
Most doors do not need replacing
A dropped door, a perished seal and a misaligned strike all look like a broken door and none of them are.
We spend the time adjusting
Hanging a door is quick. Adjusting one so it closes properly is slow, and skipping it is why doors come back.
Same visit where we can
Hinges, seals and hardware get done while we are there.
We tell you when it is not worth it
If the jamb has rotted through, repair is a patch. We will say so rather than take the work twice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to your What door repair covers questions. No contractor games or hidden costs.
How does Sunshine State differ from other contractors?
We aren’t storm chasers. We are local owners working out of one shop in Fort Myers, and we measure, permit, install and warranty every job with our own crew. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor who leaves the county after season.
Impact windows or hurricane shutters, which should I actually get?
Both meet code. Impact windows are permanent: nothing to put up, nothing to store, and they also help with noise, UV and security. Shutters and screens cost less up front and work well for lanais and large slider runs, but someone has to close them before a storm. Many homes use a combination of both.
Do I need a permit, and who pulls it?
What wind rating do I need in Fort Myers?
Most of Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers is in a 150 mph design-wind-speed zone, with higher requirements along the coast and barrier islands. Every product we install carries a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval that meets or exceeds the requirement for your address.
How long does it take from deposit to done?
