Does a bedroom door in your Muttontown house refuse to latch, or does a crank window stall halfway open? Maybe the slider out to the patio grinds on its track. Problems like these rarely mean new windows or doors. A repair can usually set them right.

If your home went up between the 1960s and the 1980s

A typical Muttontown home was built in the 1970s, and about half date from the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s. Houses from those years may have windows that open on hinges. Some crank out from the side; awning windows swing out from the top.

Over time, the crank gears and hinge arms wear. The window may stop partway, or close without sealing. Wood sills and the trim around doors can also soften where water sits.

We replace the worn crank or hinge and rebuild only the soft wood. The windows hold on to their original character and look better afterward.

Doors inside the house that stick or drift

A large one-family house can have dozens of inside doors: bedrooms, closets, baths and pairs of doors between rooms. As seasons change, wood swells and shrinks. Hinges loosen, and a door may rub, swing open on its own or miss its latch.

These are small jobs, and you do not need new doors. We tighten or reset hinges, adjust latches and trim an edge that rubs. Make a list of the doors that bother you, and we can handle them in one visit.

The door to your patio or pool

If you have a sliding door out to a patio or pool, it may get heavy use all summer. Its rollers wear, sand and grit collect in the track, and the latch stops catching. The screen panel can tear or slip off its track too.

Fresh rollers and a scrubbed track usually get the door gliding again. We can fit new screen mesh, so the door is ready before summer.

What the SARB looks for

Muttontown’s Site and Architectural Review Board, the SARB, reviews all building applications that include outside work and will affect the village’s character and appearance. The village says it examines exterior design so homes “retain the character of the neighborhood.” Plans for alterations to existing buildings must be reviewed by the SARB as part of the permit process.

A repair keeps your windows and doors in their own openings, in their own style. If you plan a change you can see from outside, phone the Building Department, (516) 364-6314. If you are unsure whether your work needs a permit, the village invites that call.

FAQ

Questions from Muttontown homeowners

Half the doors upstairs will not stay closed. Can you fix that?

Most likely. Doors that drift or will not latch usually have loose hinges or a latch out of line. Once we see them, adjusting those parts often gets each door to close and stay shut.

The crank on my window turns, but the window stops halfway. What is wrong?

Most likely the gear inside the crank, or the arm it drives, has worn. Once we see it, we can often replace that part and keep the window.

Our pool door is so stiff my grandkids cannot open it. What can you do?

A stiff slider almost always rides on worn wheels or a gritty track. We replace the rollers and clean the track, so it slides easily again.

Will the SARB need to see my window repair?

Before you start, phone the village Building Department, (516) 364-6314. The SARB looks at outside changes to a home’s appearance. Only village staff can tell you what your job needs.

Do you serve Syosset, Brookville, Upper Brookville and Jericho?

Yes. All four share a border with Muttontown, and they are in our service area.
