Recent Fix: O'Fallon Sticking Door
A homeowner in O'Fallon's Winghaven neighborhood called us about a front door that wouldn't close properly. The door had been sticking for months, requiring force to latch, and was letting in drafts that drove up their heating bill.
After inspection, we found the issue: minor foundation settling (common in homes built on St. Louis clay soil) had shifted the door frame slightly. We adjusted the hinges, planed the door edge where it was binding, and installed a new weatherstrip. The entire repair took 90 minutes and cost $275.
Result: The door now closes smoothly, the drafts are gone, and the homeowner estimates they're saving $30-40/month on heating costs.
What Door Repairs Cost
Most door repairs in the St. Louis and Metro East area range from $150 to $800, depending on the problem. Here's the typical breakdown:
- Hinge adjustment/replacement: $150-$300
- Door planing (sticking doors): $200-$400
- Lockset/hardware replacement: $200-$500
- Frame repair/adjustment: $300-$600
- Full door replacement: $400-$1,200+ (depending on door quality)
Every estimate includes parts and labor with no hidden fees. If we can fix it instead of replacing it, we'll tell you.
Why St. Louis Area Doors Stick and Sag
If you live in an older St. Louis home—especially in neighborhoods like Soulard, Tower Grove, or the Hill—you've probably dealt with sticking doors. The combination of wood expansion from humidity changes and minor foundation settling creates the perfect conditions for door problems.
In Metro East Illinois homes, we see similar issues. The seasonal temperature swings cause wood doors to expand in summer and contract in winter. Add in the clay-heavy soil that shifts with moisture, and you've got doors that work fine in October but won't close in July.
The good news? Most door problems are fixable without replacement. A skilled handyman can adjust hinges, plane edges, and reset frames to restore smooth operation—usually in under two hours.
