FINISH CARPENTER | WINNIPEG | SINCE 1985
One Tradesperson.
One Focus.
Doors Done Right.
Larry Daniuk has been a finish carpenter since 1985 and has focused on residential door service in Winnipeg since 2007. Most door problems don't need a new door. They need someone who understands how a door is built, and what it takes to make it work properly again.

Door Doc | Winnipeg, MB
Doors are one of the few things in a home that require a finish carpenter's full attention: the fit, the hang, the seal, the hardware.
Every door is slightly different, and getting one to work properly is a craft problem as much as a mechanical one.
Larry has been a finishing carpenter since 1985, and doors have always been the part of the work he finds most interesting and challenging.
He narrowed his focus to door service in Winnipeg in 2007 and has been working exclusively in residential door repair and maintenance since.
He primarily works alone, makes house calls, and arrives with the materials needed for most common repairs. The goal on every visit is to assess and fix the door the same day.

WHAT DRIVES THE WORK
WHAT DRIVES THE WORK
Repair First.
Replace Only When Necessary.
Most of the doors Larry repairs have been struggling for years; sticking, drafting, wearing out hardware, while the homeowner adapted around them.
The satisfying part isn't just the fix. It's that a door that was quietly failing from neglect now works the way it was built to.
Maintenance is what extends the life of a door. Most doors that get replaced didn't need to be.
Larry's first step on every entry or storm door call is to look at how the door hangs in the frame, because in most cases, the door itself can be adjusted without touching the frame.
That assessment is what determines everything that follows.
If a door genuinely needs replacing: if it's rotten, warped, or cupped beyond correction, Larry will tell you that directly. You won't be pressured toward a repair that won't hold, and you won't be left without a clear next step.

The Door Doc Approach
There's no shortage of people in the industry willing to tell a homeowner their door needs replacing.
Larry's answer is usually different.
A door that hangs in a sound frame is worth repairing properly; and repairing it correctly costs a fraction of replacement.
The goal is never to sell a visit. It's to fix the door.
