Door Threshold Replacement

What This Service Involves

A worn or damaged threshold is a common source of drafts and water intrusion at exterior doors. We remove the failing threshold, inspect the subfloor and sill for the rot common in our wet climate, and install a new adjustable threshold that seals tight to the door sweep. Repairs to any water-damaged framing are handled before the new unit goes in. The result stops leaks, blocks cold air, and restores a smooth, safe transition underfoot.

Benefits

Eliminated drafts and water leaks at the door; Repaired sill and subfloor where rot is found; Adjustable seal for a snug fit to the door sweep; Safer, smoother footing at the entry

Our Process

1) Remove the old threshold and inspect the sill and subfloor; 2) Repair or replace any rotted or damaged framing; 3) Set and seal the new threshold with proper flashing; 4) Adjust the height and test the seal against the door

What Affects the Cost

Threshold material and adjustable versus fixed type; Extent of hidden sill or subfloor rot; Door type and sweep compatibility; Flashing and sealing requirements; Accessibility or low-profile threshold options

Best Time of Year

Replacing a threshold before the rainy season guards against winter leaks, though it can be done whenever a draft appears.
