Doors & Windows in Imperial Beach, CA.
Doors & Windows for Imperial Beach homes, done by one handyman start to finish.

A door that sticks in July or a window that won't latch in January often just needs the right adjustment — no replacement required.

Salt air is relentless on exterior door hardware along the coast — hinges oxidize, strike plates corrode, and deadbolt cylinders seize up on homes in Del Mar and Coronado within a few years of installation. We use marine-grade stainless steel hardware on all coastal replacements because standard zinc-plated parts will be back in the same condition within a season.
