What’s included
- Remove splintered or broken frame sections
- Splice in or replace the damaged jamb
- Install heavy-duty door jamb reinforcement at the strike zone
- Reattach stop molding and casing
- Confirm the door closes and deadbolt engages correctly
How it works
Assess the damage
We look at how much of the jamb is compromised and whether the door itself is still square and operational.
Rebuild the frame
We remove cracked sections, fit replacement jamb material, and reinforce the strike plate area so a kick-in is much less likely to succeed again.
Align and test
We reattach the stop molding, hang the door back plumb, and test the latch and deadbolt for smooth operation.
Problems we fix
- Split jamb from a forced entry or hard slam
- Strike plate that has pulled away from soft, unreinforced wood
- Door that no longer closes flush after the frame shifted
- Rotted bottom of the door frame from long-term moisture contact
Door Frame Repair in Columbia — FAQ
Can you fix a frame that was kicked in?
Yes, that's one of the most common door frame repairs we do. We rebuild the jamb and add steel reinforcement at the strike area so the door is significantly harder to kick in again.
Do I need to replace the whole door and frame?
Usually not. In most cases we can repair the damaged section of the frame while the door itself stays in place, which keeps the cost well below a full replacement.
How long does a door frame repair take?
Most repairs wrap up in one to two hours for a standard interior or exterior door, depending on how much material needs replacing.
Will the repair show after painting?
A well-done splice is nearly invisible once primed and painted. We feather the joint carefully and let you know if there's any texture difference to address before painting.
Door Frame Repair across Columbia
Columbia's long, hot, humid summers are hard on homes — HVAC strain, swollen doors, deck and fence wear, and moisture around windows and caulk are all common. Older in-town neighborhoods bring hardwood floors, plaster and original millwork, while the Northeast and the Lake Murray side add newer builds with their own needs. Our pros are comfortable with both.
