Exterior Door Installation

What This Service Involves

Your exterior doors take a beating from Puget Sound's relentless weather, and a properly installed unit is your first line of defense against drafts, leaks, and rot. Our crews set each door plumb, level, and square, then flash and seal the opening so water sheds away from the framing instead of into it. We fit weatherstripping and adjustable thresholds tuned for the marine climate, and we confirm the door swings true through every season. As a licensed, bonded, and insured WA contractor, we handle any required permits and leave you with a weather-tight, secure entry.

Benefits

Weather-tight seal that stops wind-driven rain and drafts; Improved insulation values that lower heating bills; Enhanced security with solid hardware and reinforced strike plates; Fresh curb appeal that lifts your home's first impression

Our Process

1) Measure the rough opening and assess the existing framing for moisture or rot; 2) Remove the old door and repair or replace any damaged sill and jamb material; 3) Set the new unit plumb and level, then flash and weatherproof the perimeter; 4) Install hardware, adjust the threshold, and test the swing and seal

What Affects the Cost

Door material and construction, from steel to fiberglass to solid wood; Size and whether the opening needs reframing; Condition of the existing sill, framing, and flashing; Hardware, locksets, and any smart-lock upgrades; Permit fees where structural changes are involved

Best Time of Year

Late spring through early fall offers the driest window to open a wall and keep the interior protected, though we can install year-round with proper weather tenting.
