Door work in Naperville ranges from simple hardware swaps to full pre-hung replacements — and the challenge changes by home age. In north Naperville homes from the 1960s–1980s (Cress Creek, Hobson Village), original door frames have often racked over decades, meaning a new door won't hang square without shimming and planing the rough opening first. Interior doors in these homes are frequently hollow-core 1960s–70s originals with mortise hardware that no longer fits standard replacement sets.
In HOA communities across south Naperville — Ashbury, White Eagle, Tamarack — exterior door replacements typically require HOA approval on style, color, and material before installation. We advise on the approval process and can source doors that meet community standards.
All exterior door work includes proper weatherstripping, threshold adjustment, and deadbolt alignment for energy efficiency and security.

That’s classic seasonal wood movement — very common in Naperville’s humid summers. We plane or shave the door edge at the right spot so it operates smoothly year-round without the frame gap getting too large in winter.

Yes — this is almost always a hinge or strike plate alignment issue. We adjust hinge mortises, tighten screws with longer replacements if needed, and reposition the strike plate so the latch catches properly every time.
