Door & Window Repair in San Ysidro, CA.
Doors & Windows for San Ysidro homes, done by one handyman start to finish. San Diego's mild climate masks a common problem: wood doors and frames expand and contract with coastal humidity cycles and dry Santa Ana seasons. A door that sticks in July or a window that won't latch in January often just needs the right adjustment, no replacement required.
Why is doors & windows different in South County San Diego?
Rental properties in National City and Chula Vista have high door-repair volume because exterior doors take abuse from frequent tenant turnover. We carry common deadbolt and passage set replacements in the most popular finishes so a lock change or door rehang doesn't require a second trip to the hardware store.

My door is rubbing against the frame, is that a repair or do I need a new door?
Almost always a repair, not a replacement. A door rubbing the frame usually means the hinges need adjusting or the door needs a light planing on the sticking edge, not a new door. We check the hinge screws and frame square first, that fixes most rubbing doors in under an hour.
Do you replace windows, or just repair them?
We repair, we don't do full window replacement. Stuck sashes, broken latches, torn screens, and failed weatherstripping are all repair work we handle. If a window's frame is rotted through or the glass seal has failed, that's a full replacement job, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair won't hold and point you to a window replacement specialist.
