Between Geneva proper, the the courthouse square area and the newer building out toward the US-84 corridor, we stay busy in Geneva County, and Samson is close enough that we are often nearby.
Geneva has enough older housing stock that repair almost always beats replacement here, and enough new construction that we spend a lot of time on hardware that failed early.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Geneva weather does to interior door repair
Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.
Pressure differences from wind and from HVAC cycling swing interior doors and slam them, which loosens hinge screws and is hard on both the door and the frame.
Sun through a large window will warm and dry one face of an interior door unevenly, and over years that can bow a hollow core slab enough that it stops latching.
None of it is a reason to replace a door. It is a reason to use the right parts and set the door up correctly in the first place.
Local factors we account for in Geneva: storm wind and sun and heat load — typical of the Wiregrass.

- Look at the whole house, not one doorWhen several doors in a {city} home start sticking in the same season, the story is usually about the house rather than the doors.
- Diagnose sag versus swelling versus frame movementThey look identical from a distance and need completely different fixes.
- Adjust before cuttingPlaning a door is permanent. We correct hinges and strikes first, because most sticking doors do not need any material removed.
- Repair the hardware properlyStripped hinge holes get rebuilt rather than packed with matchsticks.
- Set the latch to close quietlyThe strike is adjusted so the door closes with a light push and stays shut without rattling in the airflow.
- Leave the set consistentDoors through a house should feel the same to use. We adjust the others while we are there rather than leaving one odd one. Sandy-soil jobs get their running surfaces cleaned out thoroughly, because new rollers fitted into a gritty track will not last a year.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of interior door repair in Geneva
There is no single price for interior door repair in Geneva, because two doors with identical symptoms can need very different work. Here is what makes the difference:
- hollow core versus solid core doors
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- specialty hardware such as pocket, bifold and barn door systems
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Geneva.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Geneva: questions we get asked
We put in new flooring and now the doors will not close. What now?
The doors need trimming to clear the new floor height. It is straightforward, but the amount matters: too little and it still drags, too much and you get a gap under every door in the house.
Why do my doors rattle when the HVAC runs?
Air pressure is moving the door in a latch-to-strike gap that has opened up. Adjusting the strike takes minutes and it is one of the most satisfying small fixes in a house.
My bedroom door sticks at the top. Do I need to plane it?
Probably not, and we would try everything else first. Sticking at the top corner is usually hinge sag, and correcting the hinges brings the door back without removing any material. Planing is permanent and it is the last resort, not the first.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Geneva homes is that a replacement slab hung in the existing frame with the existing hardware often looks better and costs less than a repair that will always be visible.
Can you hang a barn door properly?
Yes, and the important part is the backing. Barn door track has to be fixed into solid framing, not into drywall with anchors, or the whole thing eventually pulls off the wall.
Several doors in my house started sticking at the same time. Why?
That is the house moving rather than the doors. In Geneva it is usually seasonal, tied to how wet the ground under the foundation is. It is worth knowing whether it comes and goes or is getting steadily worse.
