About Altamonte Springs: Just north of Orlando along Interstate 4 and State Road 436, Altamonte Springs is a Seminole County city where many homes are in multi-unit buildings, often dating from earlier decades. Lakes, Cranes Roost Park and the Little Wekiva River shape the setting.
Doors answer to the weather before most of a home does. Wood swells in the wet season and shrinks in the dry months, so a door that drags in summer may rattle in its frame by winter. Altamonte Springs has houses and multi-unit buildings alike, so the doors range from a house’s entry and slider to the entry and interior doors of a unit, and each needs the same patient look at hinges, strike plate and gap.
Most sticking comes down to small parts. Loose hinge screws let a door sag onto its latch side, a strike plate sits a little off, or one edge rubs and needs a touch of planing. Sweeps, weatherstripping and slider rollers wear on their own schedule. The fix has to allow for movement: a door planed tight in the wet season can rattle once the air dries out, so the work usually leaves room for the door to move with the seasons.
Note which season the door acts up, which edge rubs and whether the latch catches. If a door keeps moving after adjustment, the cause may sit with the frame or the house, and that belongs to the right trade. A one-time visit handles a single door, while a monthly or quarterly plan can fold doors in with other small repairs. Door repairs every homeowner eventually needs is a useful companion read. Call (407) 638-8956 to describe yours.

Yes. Adjusting sticking doors, replacing hardware and weatherstripping, repairing sliders and installing interior doors are routine handyman work. Structural exterior door replacement may involve permits, so check with your local building department.
Humidity swells wood doors and frames, hinge screws loosen, and frames shift slightly with the seasons. Many sticking doors only need hinge or strike plate adjustment.
Repair hardware problems such as rollers, latches and weatherstripping. Replace the door if the glass has failed, with fog between the panes, or the frame is bent.
Wood doors and frames take up moisture in the wet season and dry out afterward, so the fit changes. The fix is often hinge screws, strike plate alignment and a small amount of planing. To describe your door, call (407) 638-8956 or request service online.
News reports describe the Little Wekiva River overflowing after Hurricanes Ian and Milton. A door can often be adjusted, but a warped slab or damaged frame may be a replacement question, and flood restoration is outside this service. The underlying cause may need another trade first.
The adjustments are often similar either way: hinges, strike plates, weatherstripping and a little planing. What differs is who decides. In a multi-unit building, check with the owner or property manager first, and for frame or opening changes, check with your local building department or HOA.
