        "text": "Minor door hinge issues, such as tightening loose screws or lubricating a squeaky hinge, can often be addressed by a homeowner. However, if the hinge is bent, cracked, or the screw holes are stripped, professional repair or replacement is typically recommended. A general contractor has the tools and expertise to properly assess the damage, repair or replace hinges, and ensure the door operates safely and correctly, preventing more significant damage or recurring problems.",
