What it typically costs
Door Repair & Installation
$200-$700
From a hinge or strike adjustment to a full door installation. Exterior installs with weatherproofing sit at the upper end. Final price is set in your free written quote.
A hinge or strike-plate adjustment is a small job; a full door installation – especially exterior, with weatherproofing – takes more time and materials, which is reflected in the quote.
Frames move with the seasons
What's involved
We check the frame, hinges and strike before recommending anything bigger, because a door that sticks or won’t latch is more often a settled frame than a bad door. For a new interior or exterior door, we fit it, hang it square, install the hardware and seal exterior doors against drafts.
Signs it's time to call
A door that sticks, drags, won't latch, or has loose or squeaking hinges is usually a hinge, strike plate, or minor frame adjustment – not a sign you need a full replacement.
What's behind most door repair and installation calls
Sticking is usually the frame, not the door
A door that drags on the floor or won't latch is more often a settled frame or worn hinge than a problem with the door slab itself – which is why we check alignment before recommending a replacement.
Older homes settle unevenly
Century and mid-century Ottawa homes have had decades to settle, which throws door frames out of square in ways a newer build hasn't had time to develop.
Small fixes we handle on the spot
Loose strike plates, worn weatherstripping, a sagging hinge, or a door that won't latch cleanly are typically same-visit fixes, not a reason to book a second appointment.

Common questions
Can you fix a door instead of replacing it?
In most cases, yes – a sticking or misaligned door is usually a hinge, frame, or strike-plate fix well short of full replacement.
Do you install new exterior doors?
Yes, including fitting, hanging, and hardware installation.
