About Head to Sill
Local Door Specialists Serving Summerville and Greater Charleston
Head to Sill is a local residential door repair specialist and certified replacement door installer serving homeowners throughout Summerville, Cane Bay, and nearby Charleston-area communities. With more than 18 years of door-industry experience, we specialize in something homeowners encounter every day but many contractors do not focus on exclusively: doors that simply do not work the way they should. From a front door that suddenly will not latch to an interior door that drags across the floor, our job is to determine what is causing the problem and provide a practical solution.

Because doors are our specialty, we understand that seemingly simple problems can have several possible causes. A sticking, sagging, or difficult-to-close door may be affected by hinges, hardware, alignment, the frame, moisture, settling, normal wear, or a combination of factors. Instead of guessing at the solution, Head to Sill takes the time to evaluate how the entire door system is operating.
More Than 18 Years of Door-Specific Experience
Head to Sill was built on years of hands-on experience within the door industry. Rob began learning the business at a young age through his family’s door business and later gained additional experience working with one of the industry’s largest door distributors. Over the years, he has worked around contractors, homeowners, real estate professionals, product specialists, and other industry experts while developing extensive knowledge of residential doors, hardware, installation, and troubleshooting.
That background provides Head to Sill with the ability to look beyond the obvious symptom. When a door rubs the frame, will not lock, has a gap around one side, or continually falls out of alignment, we want to understand why. Finding the underlying cause is an important part of providing a repair that makes sense rather than repeatedly treating the same symptom.
We Fix Problem Doors From Head to Sill
Our work covers doors throughout the home. Head to Sill services entry doors, interior doors, patio doors, storm doors, French doors, bifold doors, pocket doors, sliding doors, and other residential door systems. We address common problems including doors that stick, sag, drag, scrape, rub the frame, swing incorrectly, or refuse to latch and lock properly.
We also troubleshoot and service many of the components responsible for proper door operation. Depending on the situation, that may include hinges, handles, locks, other hardware, thresholds, weatherstripping, sweeps, tracks, rollers, and sealing concerns. By considering the door and its related components together, we can develop a clearer picture of what needs to be corrected.
Repair First Is More Than a Sales Message
One of the principles behind Head to Sill is that a problem door does not automatically need to become a new door. We take a repair-first approach whenever practical. Before recommending replacement, we look for root causes such as worn hinges, failing hardware, alignment problems, moisture-related concerns, settling, deteriorated seals, and normal wear. If your existing door can be restored with a sensible repair, that is the direction we prefer to recommend.
There are also situations where replacement provides better long-term value. A door may have significant deterioration, extensive damage, recurring problems, or other conditions that make continued repair impractical. When replacement is the better option, we explain why clearly so you can make an informed decision. Our goal is not to sell the most expensive solution. It is to help you make the right decision for your door and your home.
A Local Company Built Around Personal Service
Head to Sill is locally owned by Jenny and Rob, who made Cane Bay and the Summerville area their home after moving from New York to South Carolina. They were drawn to the Lowcountry by the warmer climate and welcoming community, and Head to Sill grew from a desire to put Rob’s extensive door-industry experience to work for their neighbors. Jenny brings the same caring and attentive approach she has developed through her work in the local Summerville community, helping make friendly, personal service an important part of the Head to Sill experience.
