Storm Doors and Entry Door Replacement
Justin Matthews • September 3, 2026
Squaring an older opening for a new door
Location: Greenville, SC
The problem. A front door that stuck in summer, showed daylight along the strike side, and a storm door that had never closed square.
What we did.
- Checked the opening for square before ordering anything — it was not, which changed the approach
- Shimmed and reset the jamb rather than forcing a new slab into a racked frame
- Installed the new entry door with a full weatherstrip and sweep
- Hung the storm door to the corrected opening
- Adjusted the closer and verified the latch engaged cleanly through a full swing
The result. No daylight, no sticking, and a noticeable difference in the entry's draft over the following winter.
Four different numbers, and the thing that decides which one you get is not how long we are there. It is how much you already know.
A failed P-trap at a Greenville dental office handled as an emergency service call, with the practice operating the same day.
