Door alignment problems in Yuma are chronic — not because of poor original construction, but because caliche soil beneath the slab shifts with seasonal moisture changes, and that shift moves the door frame with it. A door that hung perfectly when the house was built can be a quarter-inch out of plumb five years later, and the standard fix of planing the door edge is only a temporary measure if the frame continues to move. We diagnose alignment problems by checking both the door and the frame — identifying whether the issue is in the door itself (warp, swelling), in the frame (shift, racked opening), or in the hinges (loose, bent). Then we fix the actual cause rather than just the symptom, which is how you get a door that stays aligned through multiple monsoon seasons.
What's Included
What We Do on Every Door Alignment Job
- Full door and frame plumb check with level to identify alignment deviation
- Hinge inspection and re-shimming to correct for frame movement
- Strike plate adjustment or relocation to match shifted door position
- Door edge planing where contact with frame is the alignment cause
- Frame casing re-nailing or shimming where frame has moved off square
Why Hire a Pro
Why Yuma Homeowners Don't DIY This
A door that rubs at the top usually means the hinge side of the frame has moved, not that the door has grown. Planing the door at the rub point removes wood that you'll wish you had in the dry season when the door shrinks. Professionals measure the full door opening with a level before touching the door, identify whether the rub is from frame movement or door expansion, and address the root cause — which usually means hinge adjustment and strike plate relocation rather than planing.

What Yuma Homeowners Say
★★★★★
"We had three contractors no-show on us before we found these guys. Fixed our back deck and pressure washed the patio same day. Whole crew was professional and respectful."
★★★★★
"Knocked out our honey-do list in a single Saturday. Ceiling fan, garbage disposal, two sticky doors, a ceiling patch. Left the place cleaner than when they started."
★★★★★
"Our fence took a hit in the last dust storm. They came out next day, replaced three posts and re-hung the gate. Solid work, fair price, no runaround."
FAQ
Door Alignment FAQ
Classic wood moisture movement — swells with monsoon humidity, shrinks in dry season. The fix is adjusting the strike plate to the mid-point, so the door works in both states. Or switch to a fiberglass door that doesn't move.
Basic alignment adjustment (hinges and strike plate) runs $85–$175. Frame re-shimming and casing work for significantly shifted frames runs $200–$450.
For minor shifts, yes — hinge adjustment and strike plate relocation don't require removing casing. Major frame movement that's racked the entire opening requires removing casing to access the rough frame.
Usually a track or roller issue rather than frame alignment. We check rollers, track condition, and frame plumb — often it's a combination of worn rollers and mineral buildup in the track.
Significant moisture during monsoon can swell a wood door or door frame enough to close the gap completely. Wait 48 hours for drying before adjusting — most doors come back on their own.
