Your front door installation includes professional removal of your existing door, proper preparation of the door frame, and precise installation of your new door with complete weathersealing. We handle any necessary frame adjustments to ensure perfect fit and operation.
In Bergenfield, we see a lot of homes with settling issues that affect door alignment. Our team knows how to work with these older foundations and adjust installations accordingly. We also account for the seasonal temperature swings that can affect how doors fit and operate throughout the year.
Every installation includes quality hardware installation, proper insulation around the frame, and a final inspection to ensure everything operates correctly. We also provide guidance on maintenance to help your new door perform well for years to come.
Most front door installations take between 3-4 hours, including removal of the old door and complete installation of the new one. This timeframe assumes no major complications with the existing frame or opening.
If we discover issues with the frame that need repair, or if modifications to the opening are required, the project may extend to a full day. We’ll always discuss any additional work needed before proceeding.
The key is not rushing the process. Taking time to ensure proper alignment, complete sealing, and smooth operation is what prevent problems down the road.
Steel and fiberglass doors perform exceptionally well in New Jersey’s climate. Steel doors offer superior security and durability, while fiberglass provides excellent insulation and won’t warp or crack like wood can.
For homeowners who prefer the look of wood, we recommend high-quality engineered wood products or fiberglass doors with realistic wood grain textures. These give you the appearance you want without the maintenance headaches.
Iron doors are another excellent choice for their security and longevity, though they require proper finishing to prevent rust in our humid climate. We can discuss the pros and cons of each material based on your specific needs and preferences.
Most front door replacements don’t require permits if you’re installing a door in an existing opening without changing the size or structure. However, if modifications to the opening are needed, permits may be required.
We’re familiar with Bergenfield’s building requirements and can advise you on whether your specific project needs permits. If permits are required, we can help guide you through the process.
The key is making sure any structural changes are done properly and to code. This protects both your investment and your family’s safety.
Front door installation costs vary based on the door material, size, hardware choices, and any modifications needed to the existing opening. Basic installations start around $800-1,200, while custom iron doors or complex installations can range from $2,000-4,000 or more.
The total cost includes the door itself, professional installation, weatherstripping, hardware, and any necessary frame adjustments. We provide detailed, upfront pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
We believe in transparent pricing because surprise costs create problems for everyone. During our initial consultation, we’ll give you a complete breakdown of all costs involved in your specific project.
The terms are often used interchangeably, but entry doors can refer to any exterior door (front, back, side), while front doors specifically refer to the main entrance. The installation process is essentially the same for both.
What matters more is the door’s exposure and usage. Front doors typically need to handle more weather exposure and daily use than other entry doors, so material selection and installation quality are especially important.
We treat every exterior door installation with the same attention to detail, regardless of location. Proper sealing, alignment, and hardware installation are critical for any door that faces the elements.
We handle both standard and custom door installations. Our team has experience with unusual sizes, custom iron doors, and specialty installations that require modifications to existing openings.
Custom installations take more time and planning, but they allow you to get exactly what you want for your home. We work with you through the design process and coordinate manufacturing timing to minimize disruption.
Whether you need a standard replacement or a completely custom solution, we have the tools and experience to handle the installation properly. The key is proper planning and precise measurement from the start.
