Handy Ivan provides small-project exterior door repair and weatherproofing services for homes, rentals, offices, retail spaces, HOAs, and commercial properties throughout San Diego and surrounding areas. The focus is practical improvements that help doors operate better, seal better, and look cleaner.
This service is a good fit if your exterior door needs a new sweep, weatherstripping, threshold repair, hinge adjustment, lockset replacement, smart lock installation, or customer-supplied security screen door installation.
This service may not be the right fit if your project requires a new structural door opening, major framing repair, fire-rated commercial door work, automatic door systems, storefront glass doors, or major water-damage restoration.
Worn sweeps, damaged thresholds, and missing weatherstripping can allow drafts, moisture, dust, and pests to enter. Handy Ivan can replace many standard door sealing components when the existing door and frame are suitable.
Replacing worn exterior door hardware can improve security, appearance, and daily use. Handy Ivan installs many customer-supplied locksets, deadbolts, smart locks, and handles when the door preparation and product fit are appropriate.
Customer-supplied security screen doors can often be installed when the door opening, mounting surface, frame condition, and hardware requirements are appropriate.
