Every number in the table is the whole flat price for the job in Los Angeles. You approve it before we start, and it changes only if the job itself changes.
Long punch lists and projects with no fixed scope. Billed by the hour, so the total depends on how long it runs.
What the lower end buys
An hour on site covers a door that sticks: long screws into the hinge jamb, the strike plate moved a hair, the latch lined up and the squeak oiled out. Most doors that refuse to catch need nothing beyond that and a second test swing.
What the higher end buys
A split jamb, a rotted exterior threshold, or a fresh slab that has to be planed, mortised for hinges and bored for a deadbolt carries the top of the range. Patio sliders with shot rollers come out of the track, which takes two people and care with the glass.

Biggest price driver
Frame condition decides this one. Hardware fixes go quickly. A settled house leaves the opening out of square, so the door gets scribed and trimmed to follow it, and if the same door binds again next season the wall is still moving and a structural pro should look.
How to keep your door repair & installation cost down
Walk the house and list every door that sticks, squeaks or will not latch, then we take them all in one trip. Clear the swing path of rugs and boxes, and if you bought a slab, have it inside for a few days first.
