About Horizon West: Horizon West is an unincorporated, master-planned area of southwest Orange County, laid out under a county plan on former citrus land as a set of villages around a Town Center. It has grown quickly, and its housing includes single-family homes, townhomes and condos.
Doors announce the humid months before anything else in the house does. A latch that caught in spring starts to miss by midsummer, and a bedroom door begins to rub. According to a University of Florida GeoPlan report with an approximate boundary, most housing in the Horizon West area is single-family, so a large share of the doors here hang in detached houses, many of them probably on fairly recent construction.
Most of this work is small adjustment repeated across many doors. A latch that misses gets its strike plate realigned, a loose hinge gets its screws reset, and a door that rubs is eased until it swings clear. Exterior doors may need a new sweep or weatherstripping where daylight shows, and a slider may need a cleaned track or new rollers. Sealed and aligned doors can help keep air out. A door that binds in every room points to a cause that belongs to another trade.
Test every door with the house closed up: shut it, latch it, lock it and look along the edges for daylight. Mark the ones that drag in humid weather and list them by room, adding any interior door you want installed. A one-time pass suits a punch list. If doors seem to change with the seasons, a monthly or quarterly plan can follow. Here is a rundown of door repairs most homeowners eventually need. The list of doors can go on the request form, or (407) 638-8956 reaches Clean Corps directly.

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.
Heat and humidity move wood and hardware a little, so strike plates can drift and hinge screws can back out. Those are usually adjustments rather than replacements. A door that binds everywhere in the house may have a cause that belongs to another trade, which is worth knowing before anything is trimmed or replaced.
One scheduled visit can cover a pass through interior doors, an exterior door and a slider, with scope confirmed per job. Test each door, note the ones that drag, miss the latch or show daylight, then send the notes with a request, or call (407) 638-8956.
The University of Florida report counts multi-family homes beside single-family ones, so attached homes are part of the mix. Interior doors, hardware and sweeps fit this service. For exterior or shared-entry doors, check with your local building department or HOA first.
