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.

Door Frame Repair — 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.
