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. A local pro can plane the door, tighten hardware, or both — whichever the diagnosis calls for.

Can you install a new interior door?

Yes — local pros connected through Bay Bilt install pre-hung interior doors (door, frame, and hinges as a single unit). You can supply your own door or have one sourced for you. The existing rough opening needs to be the right size; framing new openings is outside this scope.

Do you install smart locks and deadbolts?

Yes. Standard deadbolts, smart locks (Schlage, Kwikset, Yale), and keypad locks are commonly installed on existing doors, and single-cylinder deadbolts can often be upgraded to double-cylinder where applicable.

When You Need a Licensed Contractor Instead

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 door frame damage is due to rot extending into wall structure, a contractor should assess it before any installation work moves forward.
