Door Repair & Installation in Williamson County, TX
If your doors are sticking, sagging, or won't latch — it's not the door's fault. It's the soil.
Why This Matters
You’ve noticed it. The bedroom door that used to close perfectly now drags on the carpet. The back door needs a hip check to latch. The bathroom door swings open on its own.
Welcome to clay soil country.
Williamson County’s expansive clay shifts with every rain cycle and every drought. Your foundation moves — sometimes less than a quarter inch, but that’s enough to rack a door frame out of square. The door hasn’t changed. The frame has.
Most handymen shave the bottom of the door and call it fixed. But the frame is still out of square, and next season when the soil moves again, the door sticks somewhere else. Now you’ve got a door that’s been trimmed, rehung, and trimmed again — and it still doesn’t work right.
The real fix? Assess why it’s binding, correct the hinge alignment, adjust or plane the door to fit the frame as it is now, and set it up to handle seasonal movement. That’s what we do.
Our Approach
Metro Service Pros handles every kind of door — repair, adjustment, replacement, and new installation. Interior, exterior, sliding, screen, and storm doors.
Diagnosis first. Before we touch a tool, we check why the door isn’t working. Is the frame racked? Are the hinges pulling out of soft wood? Is the threshold shifted? Did the house settle since the door was hung? The fix depends on the cause, and we don’t guess.
Repair and adjustment. For sticking doors, we may shim hinges, deepen mortises, plane the edge, or adjust the strike plate. Small moves that make the door operate smoothly again. For sagging doors, we replace hinge screws with longer ones that bite into the framing — not just the door jamb. Simple, effective, lasting.
Replacement and installation. When a door is beyond repair — warped hollow-core, rotted exterior, broken glass panel — we replace it. We handle pre-hung and slab doors, interior and exterior. We make sure the new door fits the frame, the hardware works, and the weatherstripping seals properly.
Custom trim matching from our workshop. Here’s where Metro Service Pros stands apart. If your home has a specific door casing profile — maybe it’s a 2004 build with a trim style that’s no longer stocked anywhere — we don’t tell you to pick something different. We take a sample back to the shop and mill a match. Same wood species, same profile, same paint-ready finish. The new trim looks like it’s been there since the house was built.
Sliding and screen doors. Sliding glass doors need clean tracks, adjusted rollers, and functioning locks. We disassemble, clean, replace worn rollers, adjust the height, and get the door gliding smoothly. Screen doors get new mesh, new closers, proper alignment, and hardware that holds.
The Workshop Advantage
When door repair involves custom trim matching — a discontinued casing profile, a rotted jamb that needs rebuilding with matching wood — we mill the parts in our shop. The new trim looks like it’s been there since the house was built.

Frequently Asked Questions
A simple adjustment — planing, hinge tightening, latch alignment — is typically $75-$200. A full door replacement with hardware runs $300-$800 depending on the door type. For multiple doors, the Honey-Do Package at $497 lets you batch them with everything else on your list.
Central Texas humidity. Wood absorbs moisture and expands when humidity rises. The door swells, the frame shifts slightly from foundation movement, and suddenly it's dragging. We adjust for this — but a proper fix accounts for the seasonal cycle so the door works year-round, not just today.
If it's a solid-wood door, repair is almost always worth it — we can fix warping, rehang it, or plane the edges. If it's a hollow-core door with damage (holes, dents, delamination), replacement makes more sense. A solid-core replacement is a real upgrade — it feels better, sounds better, and lasts decades.
Yes — if they know what they're doing. Exterior doors involve weatherproofing, proper shimming, threshold seals, and security hardware. We've replaced hundreds across Williamson County. We make sure the door is plumb, the weatherstripping seals, and the deadbolt aligns. If the frame is rotted, we rebuild or replace it — with custom-milled casing from our shop if the profile is discontinued.
That's one of the reasons our workshop exists. If your home has a casing profile that's been discontinued, we take a sample to the shop and mill a match. Same wood species, same profile. When we install it, the new section looks like it was always there.
