A front-door project involves more than selecting a door style. The frame, threshold, swing direction, hardware, and nearby trim all need to work together. Sidelights and transoms can make the overall opening more complex.
Choose the door and surrounding details
We can discuss fiberglass, wood, and other available door options through the building supplier. Bring examples of finishes and glass styles you like, and tell us how much privacy and daylight you want at the entrance.
Review the existing frame
Let us know about rubbing, gaps, water entry, damaged trim, or a threshold that is difficult to cross. We assess the opening during the measurement visit and discuss which components are included in the replacement.
Make the estimate specific
Ask the quote to identify the door unit, frame work, hardware, finish responsibilities, and removal of the existing door. Confirm ordering responsibilities and product lead times before scheduling the installation.
What affects the price?
Door size and material, sidelights or a transom, hardware, the condition of the frame and threshold, and agreed finish work affect the estimate. Changing an opening can involve more work than replacing a door within an existing opening.
How soon can we help?
Start by sharing your city, the type and number of openings, and your preferred project timing. We can then confirm availability for a measurement visit. Product availability, custom-order lead times, any required approvals, and the agreed scope all affect the installation date; confirm the schedule before committing to an order.
Questions before your visit
Can you include sidelights or a transom?
We can assess the complete opening and discuss the product configurations available for it.
Can I change the style of the door?
Bring your ideas to the consultation. We will discuss how they relate to the existing opening and the installation scope.
Will you visit to measure?
Yes. We come to your home to assess the opening and take measurements.
