How to Fix Sticking Doors in Historic Fredericksburg Homes

Sticking doors and drawers are common issues in many of Fredericksburg’s older or historic homes, especially during humid summer months. But even newer builds in Stafford or Lake Anna can experience shifting frames or swollen wood.

If you find yourself yanking a door or forcing drawers closed, don’t wait until the hardware wears down or the frame cracks.

Our monthly punch list handyman visits cover:

• Realigning hinges and strikes
• Lubricating or replacing hardware
• Minor sanding or planing of sticking edges

With our preventative approach, you can protect your doors and maintain that perfect swing without having to wait for a bigger (and more expensive) fix.
