As the weather warms and the flowers bloom, spring is the perfect time to show your home a little love—starting with your doors.

As the #1 Andersen Certified Installer in the area, our team is ready to guide you through simple but essential spring maintenance tips—and offer professional door repair or replacement if needed.
Why Spring Door Maintenance Matters
After months of harsh winter conditions, your doors may be showing signs of wear. Moisture, ice, and temperature swings can affect seals, hardware, and finishes. A quick checkup in spring can help you:
- Extend the lifespan of your doors
- Prevent costly future repairs
- Improve energy efficiency
- Keep your home secure and stylish
Top Spring Maintenance Tips for Your Doors
1. Inspect Weatherstripping and Seals
Cold weather can cause seals to become brittle or warped. Look for cracks or gaps, especially around front and back doors and patio doors, where air leaks are most common. Replacing old weatherstripping can make a big difference in both comfort and energy bills.
2. Clean Glass and Frames
Use a mild soap and water solution to clean glass panels and frames. Pay extra attention to Andersen patio doors, which often include large glass panels that collect dirt, pollen, and residue.
3. Lubricate Hinges and Locks
Apply silicone-based lubricant to door hinges, latches, and sliding mechanisms. This ensures smooth operation and prevents squeaks or jams.
4. Check for Door Alignment Issues
Over time, doors can sag or shift—especially heavily used entry doors. If your door sticks or doesn’t close properly, it might be time for an adjustment or a professional inspection.
5. Look for Moisture Damage
Wood doors and frames can absorb moisture during the winter, leading to swelling, peeling paint, or rot. If you notice soft spots or discoloration, contact us for a door repair evaluation.
