Doors, caulk and hardware that work
Buyers open every door and run every faucet. The small things that stick, squeak or leak are what they remember.
These are the quick lines on the scope: doors planed and re-hung, latches reset, tired knobs and pulls replaced to match, and caulk renewed where it has gone yellow, cracked or gone missing.
What is included
Sticking and rubbing doors planed and re-hung
Strike plates, latches and locksets reset or replaced
Hinges, pulls and knobs swapped to match
Caulk redone at tubs, sinks, windows and trim
Screens and closet doors back on their tracks
What moves the days and the cost
What changes this job from house to house
How many doors
Counted at the walk-through. A set of 10 matching knobs is one line.
Matching finishes
A house-wide match costs more than singles because finishes change between lines.
Rot at a frame
A frame that is soft is a carpentry line, not a hardware one.
Windows
Painted-shut sashes and broken locks are repairs. Replacing windows is a different job.
How it goes
Where this work sits in the 14 days
- Day 1
We try every door
Each one is opened, closed and latched, and the list goes on the report.
- Days 5–8
Hardware and frames
Doors are planed, hinges reset and hardware swapped in one pass.
- Days 9–11
Caulk last
Caulk goes in after the paint, so lines look clean in the photos.
Permits and rules
Permits and older windows
Door and hardware work does not need a permit. Replacing a window does not need one in most cases, and in a house built before 1978 window replacement is always covered by the EPA lead rule.
Questions about this work
Do you replace exterior doors?
We re-hang and re-hardware them. A new door is a supply and lead-time question, and the scope says if it fits.
Will new knobs match the old ones?
We match finish and style where we can and show the seller photos of options on day 2.
What about locks and keys?
We re-key or replace locksets when a line calls for it and hand the agent the key plan.
