What Is Doors?
Door installation and replacement covers exterior entry doors, interior passage doors, patio and French doors, storm doors, and garage service doors. It includes the door slab, frame, hardware, weatherstripping, and any necessary framing modifications.
Why It Matters
Exterior doors are a primary line of defense against weather, intruders, and energy loss. A new front door is one of the highest-ROI home improvements — often recouping 90%+ of its cost. Interior doors affect privacy, sound control, and the overall aesthetic of a home.

Terms You Should Know
Pre-Hung Door
A door that comes already mounted in its frame, with hinges attached. Easier to install than a slab door because the frame is included.
Slab Door
A door without a frame — just the door panel itself. Used when replacing a door in an existing frame that is in good condition.
Rough Opening
The framed opening in the wall that a door unit fits into. It is typically 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the door size to allow for shimming and leveling.
Jamb
The vertical sides and horizontal top of a door frame that the door closes against.
Weatherstripping
Sealing material applied around door edges to prevent air and water infiltration. Worn weatherstripping is a major source of energy loss.
Common Questions
What is the most energy-efficient exterior door material?
Fiberglass and steel doors with foam insulation cores significantly outperform wood in energy efficiency. Fiberglass also resists warping and denting better than wood or steel.
Can you widen a doorway?
Yes — we can modify the rough opening to accommodate a wider door. If the wall is load-bearing, this requires a properly sized header beam.
How do I know if my exterior door needs replacing vs. just adjusting?
If the door is drafty, sticking, or has visible gaps, it may just need weatherstripping or adjustment. If the frame is rotted, the door is warped, or you can see daylight around the edges, replacement is the better investment.
Industry Note: According to the Department of Energy, a drafty exterior door can account for up to 11% of a home's total energy loss.
