Kansas City's seasonal humidity changes cause interior doors to stick or fail to latch properly. We install new interior doors with proper seasonal gaps that account for our climate's wood movement - a common need in both older Brookside homes and newer Olathe developments.
Our installations include proper shimming and hardware alignment to ensure smooth operation year-round. For historic homes near Westport, we source authentic door styles and period-correct hardware. In modern homes, we install pre-hung units with durable finishes that withstand family life.
We also repair existing doors by planing sticking edges, adjusting hinges, and replacing worn hardware. All work includes testing operation under different humidity conditions to prevent future issues as seasons change.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my doors stick in summer but are fine in winter?
Wood absorbs summer humidity and expands - we install doors with proper expansion gaps for our climate.
Can you salvage my original historic doors?
In most cases yes - we often restore original doors to better-than-new condition while preserving their character.
