The handle feels loose or wobbly
Baseboards are separating from the wall
Cabinet doors are uneven or rubbing
A shelf looks tilted or feels unstable

How We Work

Quick assessment

We check what’s causing the issue—hinge shift, frame alignment, loose fasteners, worn hardware, or movement over time.

Correct the root cause

Instead of “masking it,” we adjust alignment, reinforce weak points, and install hardware properly so the fix lasts.

Clean finish

We aim for straight lines, even gaps, and tidy edges. We keep work areas protected and leave the space clean.

Carpentry Repairs FAQ

Can you fix a door that won’t latch or keeps rubbing

Often yes. Most latch/rubbing issues come from hinge movement, alignment changes, or strike plate positioning. We’ll adjust it so the door closes smoothly.

Can you replace locks, knobs, or handles?

We can do like-for-like replacements and make sure everything aligns properly. If you already have the new hardware, send a photo and we’ll confirm.

Can you install weatherstripping or a door sweep?

Yes, in many cases. Weatherstripping can reduce drafts, noise, and light gaps around the door. We’ll advise what fits your door/frame.

Can you repair trim and baseboards?

Yes. We re-secure loose trim, fix small damaged sections when practical, and focus on a neat, finished look.

Do you handle cabinets and shelving too?

Yes—cabinet door alignment, hinge adjustments, shelving installs, closet rods, and other small carpentry tasks are common requests.

How do you price door and carpentry repairs?

It depends on scope and hardware. The fastest way is photos + a quick list of what needs fixing. Bundling multiple items is usually the best value.
