We work in and around Wilmington, covering the service area out through Pine Valley Estates about two miles southwest, Kings Grant and Silver Lake around four to five miles out, Wrightsville Beach and Hightsville at about five miles, and further out to Myrtle Grove, Wrightsboro, Belville, Landfall, and Ogden in the six-to-seven mile range. Calls also come in from Bayshore, Skippers Corner, Leland, Sea Breeze, Navassa, and Castle Hayne, out to Carolina Beach, Hampstead, Kure Beach, Magnolia Greens, Boiling Spring Lakes, Rocky Point, Northwest, Topsail Beach, and Bolivia at the far edge of where we'll drive for a same-day quote. Across that area there are roughly 46,584 households and 32,659 owner-occupied houses, which is a wide enough mix of door ages and brands that we don't assume anything about a door until we're standing in front of it. The climate here is mild with the occasional freeze, so springs don't usually snap from cold the way they do further north - but the humidity does work on weatherstripping and hardware over time, which shows up as rust on bottom brackets more than frozen tracks.
