Sticking Windows & Doors in Your Home
What You Need to Know About Sticking Windows and Doors
Is your door getting stuck on top or along the edges, or are your windows starting to jam for no clear reason? These issues might seem minor at first, but they could signal more significant problems with your home’s structure. A settling foundation, shifting soil beneath your property, or water damage can all compromise your home’s structural integrity.
Don’t ignore the warning signs. Our team can provide a professional inspection to identify the root cause and help you prevent costly structural damage. Keep your home safe and your family protected—contact us today.

What do Sticky Windows and Doors Mean for My Home?
When a door sticks when opening or windows become difficult to move, it can signal underlying issues that shouldn’t be ignored. Common causes include:
-
Warping or deformation of the door frame or window frame due to wear and tear
-
Misaligned strike plates or clogged mechanisms
-
Loose or damaged hinges

How to Fix Sticky Windows & Doors in Your Home
Sticky windows and doors can be frustrating, but in many cases, simple fixes can solve the problem. Start by checking for dirt and debris around the frames—cleaning and lubricating the tracks or hinges can often restore smooth movement. If the issue persists, check for swelling or misalignment in the frame, which may require light sanding or adjustments.
However, if these quick fixes don’t work or if you suspect a deeper structural issue, it’s important to address it promptly. The team at DFX Foundation & Waterproofing Experts can provide a free evaluation to identify the root cause and recommend long-term solutions.
