Why is my door sticking suddenly?

In Contra Costa County's climate, wood doors swell with moisture in winter and shrink in summer. Hinge screws also loosen over time. I can plane the door, tighten hardware, or both — whichever the diagnosis calls for.

Can you install a new interior door?

Yes. I install pre-hung interior doors (door, frame, and hinges as a single unit). You can supply the door, or I can pick one up for you. The existing rough opening has to be the right size, because I don't frame new openings.

Do you install smart locks and deadbolts?

Absolutely. I install standard deadbolts, smart locks (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale), and keypad locks on existing doors. I can also upgrade existing single-cylinder deadbolts to double-cylinder where applicable.

When I'll Refer You to a Licensed Pro

If installing a new exterior door requires modifying the structural header above the opening, that work should be permitted and inspected by a licensed contractor. Similarly, if your door frame damage is due to rot extending into wall structure, a contractor should assess before I install.

Bay Bilt is not a licensed contractor. Work is limited to jobs under $1,000 (labor and materials). Insured.
