Professional Door Installation

Properly installed doors should swing freely, latch securely, and seal tightly. We ensure every door we install meets these standards.

Interior Doors

Bedroom, bathroom, closet, and utility doors. We install hollow-core, solid-core, and solid wood doors to match your needs and budget.

Exterior Doors

Entry doors, service doors, and storm doors require weather sealing and security. We install with proper flashing, weatherstripping, and secure hardware.

Pre-Hung vs. Slab

Pre-hung doors include the frame for easier installation. Slab doors replace just the door panel in existing frames. We advise on the best approach for your situation.

Hardware

Knobs, levers, deadbolts, hinges, and door closers — we install hardware that matches your style and provides appropriate security.

Door Installation FAQs

Quick answers before you request a quote.

Should I choose pre-hung or slab doors?

Pre-hung is easier for new openings or when frames need replacement. Slab doors work well when existing frames are square and in good condition. We'll assess and recommend.

What's the difference between hollow and solid-core doors?

Hollow-core doors are lightweight and affordable but offer little sound blocking. Solid-core doors provide better sound isolation, durability, and a quality feel.

Can you widen a doorway?

Yes, but this involves framing work and potentially electrical or structural considerations. We can assess what's involved for your specific doorway.

Do you install pocket doors?

Yes. Pocket doors require framing modifications to create the wall cavity. They're great for tight spaces where swing doors are impractical.

What hardware do you recommend?

For interior doors, we typically recommend lever handles for ease of use. Exterior doors need quality deadbolts and durable entry hardware.
