Birmingham-area red clay expands when it is wet and contracts hard when it dries out. That movement travels straight up into slabs and foundations, and door frames are usually the first place a homeowner notices it.
Humid months swell interior door slabs, and any door that was already close on clearance starts binding at the top corner, which is far and away the most common interior door complaint in this climate.
Household dust in hinge knuckles is what makes interior doors squeak, and grit in bifold and pocket door tracks is what makes them bind and jump.
We see the pattern often enough across Shelby County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Wilsonville: sustained humidity and grit and dust — typical of the Birmingham metro.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Our interior door repair process
- Ask which doors and whenOne door is a door problem. Five doors on one floor is a building problem, and the fix is different.
- 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. Around the metro we clear red clay dust out of tracks and mechanisms first, because it turns into grinding paste and will destroy new parts.
- 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.

We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a interior door repair job in Wilsonville, the main variables are these:
- whether the frame also needs correcting
- how many doors are being worked on in one visit
- trimming doors to clear new flooring
- adjustment and hardware work versus door slab replacement
- hollow core versus solid core doors
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 Wilsonville.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Interior door repair in Wilsonville: 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.
Can a hole in a hollow core door be repaired?
It can be patched, but the honest answer for most Wilsonville 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.
Do you replace interior doors as well as repair them?
Yes. A new slab hung in the existing frame is a common job and much simpler than replacing the whole frame and casing.
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.
Why do my hinges squeak so much?
Dry pins. It takes a minute per door to fix properly, and the right lubricant matters because oil-based products collect dust and end up making the noise come back worse.
