The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

An exterior door has a hard job: security, insulation and curb appeal in one unit. The installation matters as much as the door, because water gets in at the sill and edges if flashing and sealant are not done carefully.

We remove the old door, check and repair the rough opening, flash the sill, set the unit plumb and level, insulate around it and install hardware, weatherstripping and trim. We also repair rot discovered along the way.

Why homeowners choose it

Four things done right.

Flashed to shed water

Sill pans and tape protect the opening.

Sealed and insulated

Air gaps filled and weatherstripping set.

Secure

Strong strikes and long screws into framing.

Finished neatly

Trim and caulk complete the look.

Good questions

Entry and Exterior Doors: common questions

Which front door material is best?

Fiberglass and steel resist weather with low upkeep, while solid wood looks warm but needs more finishing and care. We help you pick for your exposure.

Can you repair a rotted door frame?

Yes. We cut out damaged jamb and sill material and rebuild it before installing the new door.
