Carpentry repairs in Loudoun County, VA
Loudoun County is the biggest market on our map and the most predictable. Ashburn, Brambleton, South Riding and Lansdowne were built from the late 90s on by the same handful of builders, with the same hollow core doors, the same MDF trim and the same rails screwed to drywall. Fifteen years on, the doors have dropped, the trim at the garage has swelled and the rail to the basement moves.

Builder grade doors and trim in Ashburn and South Riding
Leesburg's old town is the other Loudoun, houses from the 1800s with doors and trim worth saving and a historic district with rules on the exterior. Purcellville and Aldie have the farmhouses with porches. The crew runs a Loudoun day on the Greenway and the Dulles Toll Road, Ashburn first, Leesburg midday, west after.
Builder grade houses in Ashburn and South Riding got doors hung with short screws and trim nailed with a brad gun, so by year ten the hallway doors rub at the top and the baseboard has pulled off the wall at the corners. We fix both on one visit, long screws through the top hinges into the studs and the trim refastened, caulked and touched up, usually a whole floor in one stop.

Loudoun County door and trim questions
- Can you upgrade all the hollow core doors in an Ashburn house?
- Yes, and it is the most common whole house job in the county. The openings are standard, so solid core or six panel slabs go on the existing frames, six to eight a day, with a short paint stop after.
- My HOA wants approval for a new storm door. Do you handle that?
- We give you the model and color sheet to attach to the application and hang the door once it is approved. Most Loudoun HOAs want a full view door in white, almond or the trim color.
- How far west do you go in Loudoun?
- Purcellville, Round Hill and Lovettsville on the Loudoun day, grouped so the crew is not driving an hour for one closer. Text the address and we tell you the next day heading west.
