Common Door Problems We Solve
Drafts & Energy Loss
Gaps around your exterior doors let conditioned air escape and outside air in, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. A properly installed door with quality weatherstripping creates an airtight seal that keeps your home comfortable and your energy bills lower.
Doors That Stick or Won't Close
When doors bind against the frame, scrape the floor, or won't latch properly, it's usually due to foundation settling, improper installation, or moisture damage. We identify the root cause and correct it—not just sand down the door as a temporary fix.
Security Concerns
An exterior door that doesn't close securely or has a damaged frame compromises your home's security. We install doors with solid cores, quality locks, and properly reinforced frames that give you peace of mind.
Outdated or Damaged Appearance
Your front door is the first thing visitors see. A faded, dented, or outdated door affects your home's curb appeal and value. Upgrading to a new door transforms your home's appearance immediately.
Water Damage & Rot
Exterior doors exposed to weather can develop rot in the frame or threshold, especially if they weren't installed with proper flashing. We replace damaged components and install your new door correctly to prevent future problems.
Non-Standard Sizes in Older Homes
Older homes often have door openings that don't match modern standard sizes. We have the carpentry expertise to either custom-fit standard doors or source and install doors sized specifically for your openings.
Our Door Installation Process
We follow a clear, proven process that eliminates surprises and ensures your door is installed correctly the first time.
1. Assessment & Consultation
We evaluate your existing door and frame, take precise measurements, and discuss your needs—whether that's improved energy efficiency, better security, style preferences, or all three. We'll recommend door options that fit your budget and goals.
2. Material Selection & Ordering
Once you've chosen your door style and materials, we handle ordering and ensure we have everything needed for a complete installation—including the door, frame components, hardware, weatherstripping, and finishing materials.
3. Professional Installation
Our experienced team removes your old door (if applicable), prepares the opening, and installs your new door with precise alignment. We ensure proper clearances, install quality weatherstripping, and adjust the door so it operates smoothly. For exterior doors, we install proper flashing to prevent water intrusion.
4. Finishing & Final Adjustments
We install all hardware, make final adjustments to ensure perfect operation, clean up completely, and walk you through the completed installation. Your door should open and close smoothly, latch securely, and look professionally finished.
This is our "Dirt to Done" approach—we handle every detail so you don't have to.
Door Options & What's Right for Your Home
Choosing the right door involves more than just appearance. We help you select doors based on location, performance needs, and your home's style.
Interior Doors
Panel Doors – Traditional style with raised or flat panels, available in various configurations. Works well in most homes and offers good sound dampening.
Slab Doors – Clean, modern look with a smooth surface. Ideal for contemporary homes and easy to maintain.
French Doors – Glass-paneled doors that allow light between rooms while maintaining separation. Popular for offices and dining rooms.
Barn Doors – Sliding doors on exterior hardware that save space and add rustic or modern character.
Pocket Doors – Slide into the wall to save space in bathrooms, closets, or tight hallways.
Exterior Doors
Steel Doors – Excellent security and energy efficiency at a moderate price point. Low maintenance and available in many styles.
Fiberglass Doors – Superior insulation and durability. Can mimic wood appearance without the maintenance requirements.
Wood Doors – Classic appearance with natural beauty. Require more maintenance but offer unmatched aesthetic appeal.
Storm Doors – Protect your entry door from weather, add ventilation options, and extend the life of your main door.
Hardware & Finishes
Quality hardware isn't just about appearance—it affects how your door operates and how long it lasts. We install durable hinges, handles, and locks that match your style and provide years of smooth operation.
Benefits of Professional Door Installation
Perfect Fit & Smooth Operation
Doors that are properly measured, squared, and installed operate smoothly for years. Amateur installation often results in doors that stick, won't latch, or develop problems as the house settles.
Energy Efficiency
A professionally installed exterior door with quality weatherstripping can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. Proper installation eliminates gaps and ensures the door seals correctly.
Enhanced Security
Your exterior doors are your home's primary security barrier. Professional installation with quality materials and proper reinforcement provides protection that DIY or rushed installations can't match.
Increased Home Value
Quality doors, professionally installed, improve your home's appearance and functionality—factors that matter when it comes time to sell.
Long-Term Durability
When doors are installed correctly with proper flashing, weatherstripping, and alignment, they last longer and require less maintenance over time.
Peace of Mind
You know the job is done right. No callbacks to fix problems, no gaps to seal later, no adjustments needed—just a door that works perfectly from day one.

Door Installation Pricing & Value
Door project costs vary based on several factors. We believe in transparent pricing and will provide a detailed estimate for your specific project.
What Affects Door Installation Cost?
Door Type & Material – Exterior doors cost more than interior doors. Materials range from economical steel to premium wood, each with different price points.
Size & Custom Requirements – Standard-sized doors cost less than custom sizes. Older homes with non-standard openings may require additional carpentry work.
Installation Complexity – Replacing an existing door in good condition is straightforward. Projects requiring frame repair, structural adjustments, or custom fitting require more time and materials.
Hardware & Finishing – Quality locks, handles, and hinges add to material costs but provide better long-term value. Finishing requirements (painting, staining, trim work) affect total project cost.
Number of Doors – Multiple door replacements in one project are more cost-effective per door than single installations.
What You're Paying For
When you invest in professional door installation, you're paying for:
- Accurate measurement and proper door selection
- Quality materials that last
- Skilled installation that ensures proper operation
- Proper weatherproofing and flashing
- Final adjustments and quality finishing

Value Beyond Price
A properly installed door provides value for years:
- Energy savings from reduced air leakage
- Security from quality materials and proper installation
- Durability that eliminates repair costs
- Curb appeal that enhances your home's value
