Door and Window Repair or Replacement
Door and Window Repair or Replacement in Greater Boston
Drafty windows, sticking doors, and soft wood around frames are common in older Greater Boston homes. Big Dog Painting’s carpentry team can handle door and window repair or replacement, then finish the job with clean, durable paintwork so everything looks right, and performs right, for years.
Key Summary
Big Dog Painting offers door and window repair or replacement to improve insulation, security, and curb appeal.
Our carpenters fix common issues like drafts, sticking operation, frame damage, and wood rot, and can replace doors or windows when repair is not the best option.
We can coordinate related work like surface prep, priming, and finishing paint so your entryways and trim look consistent with the rest of the home.
When to Choose Door and Window Repair
Drafts, rattling, or rising energy bills
Gaps, worn weatherstripping, and shifting frames can let air move freely. A targeted repair can tighten the seal and make your home feel more comfortable through hot summers and cold winters.
Doors that stick, scrape, or do not latch cleanly
Seasonal movement and older framing can throw alignment off over time. We can adjust and repair components so doors close smoothly and lock correctly.
Rot, soft wood, and water damage around frames
Moisture around sills, casings, and exterior trim often leads to wood rot. Repairing damaged areas early helps prevent bigger issues, and keeps surrounding materials paint-ready.
When Door and Window Replacement Makes More Sense
Repeated failures and ongoing water intrusion
If the same area keeps failing, replacement can be the smarter long-term move. A proper install helps protect the opening, improves performance, and gives you a clean slate for finishing work.
Heavily deteriorated frames or trim
When damage is extensive, repairs can become patchwork. Replacement can restore strength, improve the look, and create a better surface for paint.
Upgrading curb appeal and security
New doors and properly fitted windows can improve curb appeal and help your home feel more secure. We can help you plan the best approach, then execute with careful carpentry and clean finish work.
How This Fits With Painting, Prep, and Home Care
Carpentry and paint, coordinated
Door and window work often ties directly into trim, siding edges, and interior finishes. Big Dog Painting can handle the carpentry, then tie it into your broader interior painting or exterior painting project so the final result feels consistent.
Prep work that supports lasting results
A quality finish starts before paint goes on. If your exterior surfaces need cleaning first, our pressure washing service helps remove grime and buildup so repairs and coatings bond properly.
Interior details matter too
Doors and window trim are high-visibility areas inside the home. If you are also refreshing built-ins or kitchen finishes, our cabinet painting service can help keep your interior updates cohesive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair wood rot around a door or window without replacing the whole unit?
In many cases, yes. If the damage is localized to trim, casing, or parts of the frame, targeted carpentry repairs can restore strength and create a solid surface for priming and paint.
How do you decide between door and window repair or replacement?
We look at the cause of the issue (water intrusion, movement, age, repeated failure), how widespread the damage is, and whether a repair will hold up. If a repair would be temporary or overly patchy, replacement is usually the better call.
Do you handle painting after the repair or replacement is done?
Yes. This work often impacts trim and surrounding surfaces, so many homeowners pair it with interior painting or exterior painting for a consistent finish.
Should I pressure wash before exterior door or window work?
If there is heavy buildup, mildew, or peeling material around the area, cleaning first can improve adhesion and help coatings last. Our pressure washing service is often a smart first step for exterior prep.
