Many Burlington homeowners assume a sticking or drafty entry means a new door. Often the slab and frame are fine — hinges, strikes, weatherstripping, or multipoint alignment are the real problem.
Burlington keep-vs-replace
Aldershot bungalows with extension-spring era hardware and Brant Street downtown doors usually need parts and adjustment. Appleby Line plazas fail on closers first.

Replacement red flags on the lake

Common questions
Quick answers to what homeowners and property managers ask most about this problem.
Should I repair or replace my front door in Burlington?
In Burlington, repair when the frame is sound and only hardware or alignment failed. Replace when the frame is rotted, twisted, or split beyond reliable repair, or when you already planned an upgrade. We inspect on site before recommending either path.
Can an old door be repaired more than once?
In Burlington, yes — seasonal adjustments and strike work are normal on Ontario entries. Repeated jamb damage or screws that no longer bite may mean rebuild or replacement is the better long-term fix.
Does repair affect home value?
In Burlington, a door that latches cleanly, seals well, and looks maintained supports curb appeal and security. Repair achieves that without the cost of full replacement when the opening is still sound.
How long does a typical repair last?
In Burlington, strike and hinge work on solid frames can last years. Repairs on soft or previously damaged jambs may need monitoring. We tell you what to expect when we quote the job.
