Door shop in Arlington, TX

Central and north Arlington homes built in the 1950s and 1960s have original wood door frames that have been through more than 60 years of North Texas weather. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter crack paint and open gaps in the wood. Summer heat above 100 degrees dries the wood and causes it to shrink away from the rough opening. The result is a door that drafts in winter and sticks in summer. Door frame repair on these homes often involves resetting the jamb, replacing the sill, and installing new weatherstripping to restore the seal.

South Arlington subdivisions like Wimbledon, built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, are at the age where builder-grade door components are failing. The original sills are cracked or soft. The jamb legs have absorbed moisture at the base. The door trim has separated from the brick veneer. We replace these components individually or as a complete door frame replacement, depending on how far the damage has spread. Rot-free jamb systems are the right choice for these properties because they will not repeat the same moisture failure.

Newer Arlington communities like Viridian feature homes built from 2010 onward with larger rear patio systems and outdoor living areas. Patio door installation and patio door repair are common needs in these neighborhoods as homeowners add or upgrade rear access. We also handle dog door installation in existing doors for the large number of pet-owning families in Viridian and the surrounding northeast Arlington corridor.
