This was one of those jobs where the homeowner kept saying, “a bunch of little things are off,” which in Vegas usually means alignment drift has spread through the house. The fix became a high-ticket whole-house function package, not a one-door service call.

We see this when the small symptoms stack up: bedroom doors that don’t latch, a slider that drags, a pantry door with weird reveal, strike plates that only catch on the second try, and hardware that’s gotten loose from constant micro-stress. On this house, none of the issues was catastrophic, but together they made the place feel worn and slightly out of tune. The higher-ticket move was to treat the house like one system: go opening by opening, correct geometry where needed, upgrade weak hardware points, tighten the noisy or sloppy pieces, and clean up the little finish damage those problems had caused. That kind of project makes a house feel newer without pretending you remodeled it.
