Door re-hang, lock replacement, weather stripping, screen repair, and storm-door fixes that quietly waste energy. Serving Jersey City homeowners and property managers with upfront pricing and same-week availability.
A door that sticks in July and rattles in January is practically a Jersey City tradition — century-old rowhouses in Bergen-Lafayette and the Heights have been settling for generations, and their door frames settle with them. The fix is usually mechanical and modest: re-hanging on adjusted hinges, planing an edge, moving a strike plate, or replacing worn hardware, not tearing out the frame. Windows in pre-war buildings tell a similar story — sash cords, stubborn locks, torn screens, and weather stripping that gave up years ago. Fresh weather stripping and a proper door sweep earn their keep twice in this city: they cut the drafts that pre-war construction leaks, and they take a real edge off street noise, which anyone living near a busy Downtown JC corner will appreciate. Lock swaps and deadbolt upgrades round out the list for new owners and landlords between tenants. Quick diagnostic tip: close a dollar bill in the door — if it slides out with no resistance, the seal isn't sealing.
