Door Repair & Installation
Doors That Open Smoothly and Close Securely
Door repair and installation solves problems you notice every day: doors that stick in humid weather, drag on the floor, refuse to latch, or let drafts and daylight through. In Gainesville, Florida, humidity can cause wood doors and frames to swell, while settling, worn hinges, and loose screws pull doors out of alignment. Exterior doors also face rain and sun that damage frames, thresholds, and weatherstripping. McDonough Construction Services, Inc. repairs and installs interior and exterior doors for homes and rental properties throughout Alachua County.

Doors That Work the Way They Should
Smooth Swings, Secure Latches, and Tight Seals
A door you use every day should never be a daily frustration. These are the habits behind every door we repair or install.
Root Causes Diagnosed First
A sticking door might be caused by loose hinges, swollen wood, settling framing, or worn hardware. We find the real cause before adjusting anything, so the fix lasts instead of returning with the next humid season.
Installed Plumb, Level, and Square
New doors are shimmed and fastened carefully so they swing evenly, stay where you leave them, and latch without slamming. Precise installation also helps weatherstripping seal properly against drafts and heavy rain. Precision pays off daily.
Hardware Installed for Security
Locksets and deadbolts are only as strong as their installation. We fit hardware accurately and reinforce strike plates where needed, improving security and peace of mind for families, landlords, and tenants alike. Safety starts at the door.
Weather Kept on the Outside
Exterior doors receive properly installed thresholds, door sweeps, and weatherstripping. These details keep out wind-driven rain, humid air, and insects, helping your home stay comfortable and your cooling bills manageable. Good seals make a noticeable difference indoors.
Openings Finished Completely
We reinstall or replace casings, fill and caulk gaps, and touch up paint around the opening. When we leave, the door looks like a finished part of the room, not an unfinished or half-completed project.
Quick Turnover Fixes for Rentals
Years in property management showed us how often doors and locks need attention between tenants. We prioritize these repairs efficiently, helping landlords secure units and keep move-in schedules on track without delays. Tenants notice the difference too.

How It Works
How We Repair or Install Your Doors
Your door repair and installation project begins with a close look at how each door operates. We check hinges, frames, floors, and weatherstripping to understand why a door sticks, sags, or leaks, and we measure openings carefully for replacements. Then we explain repair and replacement options and provide a free estimate that covers the door, hardware, trim, and finishing work involved. We also help you choose hardware that fits your style and security needs.
During the job, McDonough Construction Services, Inc. removes the old door or adjusts the existing one, corrects framing issues, and installs everything plumb and square. We test the swing, latch, and seal, then reinstall or replace casings and touch up paint as needed. Before leaving, we review the work with you and clean the area. We can also handle trim repair around nearby openings for a polished result. Each door ends up swinging smoothly, latching securely, and sealing out the weather.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Door problems are frustrating but usually fixable. Here are answers to common questions from Gainesville, Florida homeowners and landlords.
Why does my door stick in humid weather?
Wood doors and frames absorb moisture and swell, and loose hinges or settling framing can make the problem worse. Hinge adjustments, careful planing, and proper sealing of all door edges can restore a smooth swing.
Can a sagging door be fixed without replacement?
Often, yes. Tightening or replacing hinge screws, adjusting hinges, or shimming can realign a sagging door. Replacement makes sense when the door slab or frame is badly damaged, warped, or rotted beyond reasonable or practical repair.
Should I choose a prehung door or a slab?
Prehung doors include a new frame and work well when the existing frame is damaged or out of square. Slabs fit existing frames in good condition and can preserve your original casings and trim details.
Do you install exterior doors?
Yes. We install entry, back, and side doors with proper flashing, thresholds, and weatherstripping to keep out rain, drafts, and insects. We also finish casings and trim so the opening looks complete, polished, and professional.
Will you install new locks and hardware?
Yes. We install handles, locksets, deadbolts, and hinges, reinforcing strike plates when needed. We can also recommend durable hardware well suited to rental properties that see frequent use and tenant turnover. Ask about options during your estimate.
