If you are anywhere between the Choccolocco Road corridor and Cheaha Mountain, or out toward Choccolocco Creek, we cover it, along with the rest of Calhoun County.
Choccolocco has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Storms coming off the ridges dump a lot of water in a short time, and any door with a compromised threshold pan will show it on the floor inside.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
Wet weather raises indoor humidity noticeably, and the interior doors that stick after several rainy days are responding to that rather than to anything structural.
We factor that in on every interior door repair job around Choccolocco Creek and the rest of Choccolocco.
Local factors we account for in Choccolocco: storm wind and heavy rainfall — typical of the Appalachian foothills.

- Look at the house, not one doorIf several doors have started sticking in the same season, the cause is usually humidity or movement rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes. We check for freeze damage as well as wear on foothill openings, since both are common and they need different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingHinge shims, longer screws and strike adjustment fix most sticking doors. Planing a door is permanent and often unnecessary.
- Repair the hardware properlyLatches, privacy sets, bifold pivots, pocket door hangers and barn door guides all get the correct parts rather than a workaround.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Work through the whole listInterior doors come in groups. It is far cheaper to do them in one visit than to call us back for each one.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Choccolocco: questions we get asked
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
My bathroom door locked with a child inside. Can that be prevented?
Yes. Privacy sets have an emergency release on the outside, and if it did not work the latch has failed and needs replacing. It is a cheap part and worth doing on every privacy door in the house.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Choccolocco it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
How many doors can you do in one visit?
Most of a typical house. Interior door work is quick once we are on site, and doing them together is far better value than calling us back for each one.
Are bifold closet doors worth repairing?
Usually yes. The pivots and top guides are inexpensive parts and they are what fails. The doors themselves are rarely the problem.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
