What's Actually Included in Your Project

Your custom door installation includes everything needed to get from where you are now to a properly functioning, beautiful entrance. That means structural assessment, precise measurements, custom design work, high-quality materials, professional installation, and final adjustments. We use materials that make sense for Belford’s climate – doors that can handle coastal moisture without warping, hardware that won’t corrode, and finishes that maintain their appearance through our seasonal weather changes. Your door gets built to last in this specific environment. Each installation includes proper weatherproofing, secure mounting, smooth operation testing, and final cleanup. We don’t consider the job finished until your door opens and closes perfectly, seals properly, and looks exactly like what you envisioned. Most importantly, we handle any adjustments needed during the first few months as your door settles into place.

How long does custom door installation take from start to finish?

Most custom door projects take 4-6 weeks from initial consultation to installation. The timeline depends on the complexity of your design and any structural modifications needed. Here’s the typical breakdown: consultation and design approval take about a week, door construction takes 2-3 weeks, and installation usually happens in one day. If your project requires structural changes to accommodate a different door size, that adds time to both the design and installation phases. We keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly where things stand. Rush orders are sometimes possible for simpler designs, but we’d rather take the time needed to get your door right than cut corners to hit an arbitrary deadline.

Can you match my custom door to my home's architectural style?

Yes, that’s exactly what we specialize in. Whether your Belford home is colonial, Victorian, contemporary, or something completely unique, we design doors that complement your existing architecture instead of competing with it. Our design process starts with understanding your home’s character. We look at proportions, existing materials, color schemes, and architectural details. Then we create a door design that feels like it was always meant to be there. We’ve worked with everything from historic homes that need period-appropriate designs to ultra-modern builds that call for clean, minimalist approaches. The key is understanding what makes your home distinctive and designing a door that enhances those qualities.

What materials do you use for custom doors in coastal areas?

We use materials specifically chosen to handle Belford’s coastal environment. That means steel and iron with proper protective coatings, marine-grade hardware, and weatherproofing systems designed for moisture exposure. For metal doors, we use high-grade steel with specialized thermal barrier technology and protective finishes that resist corrosion. All hardware gets marine-grade treatment to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation even with salt air exposure. Glass components use energy-efficient, weather-sealed units that won’t fog up or leak. We also apply proper weatherstripping and sealing techniques that account for seasonal expansion and contraction. These aren’t just standard materials with coastal marketing – they’re actually engineered for this environment.

Do you handle the permits and structural work for door installation?

Yes, we handle all permits required for your door installation project. Most standard door replacements don’t require permits, but if your project involves structural changes or expanding door openings, we take care of the paperwork. Our team includes professionals who understand local building codes and can handle structural modifications when needed. If your new door is larger than your current opening, we can reframe the space properly. If you’re switching from a standard door to a double door, we manage the structural engineering. We coordinate with local inspectors when required and ensure all work meets Belford’s building standards. You don’t have to navigate the permit process or worry about code compliance – that’s our responsibility.

What kind of maintenance do custom doors require over time?

Custom doors built with quality materials require minimal ongoing maintenance. Most of what you’ll need to do involves basic cleaning and occasional hardware lubrication. For metal doors, annual cleaning with appropriate cleaners and periodic inspection of weatherstripping covers most maintenance needs. Depending on your door’s finish and exposure, you might need refinishing every 5-7 years to maintain appearance, but that’s not a structural necessity. Hardware maintenance involves lubricating hinges and locks annually and checking that everything operates smoothly. We provide specific maintenance guidelines for your door’s materials and finish. Most importantly, we’re available for any adjustments or service needs that come up during your door’s first few years.

How do I know if my current door frame can support a custom door?

That’s something we assess during our initial consultation. We examine your current frame structure, measure everything precisely, and determine what modifications might be needed to support your new door properly. Many existing frames can accommodate custom doors with minor adjustments. Sometimes we need to reinforce the frame or make small structural changes to ensure proper support and operation. Occasionally, complete reframing is necessary, especially if you’re significantly changing door size or style. We explain exactly what’s needed before starting any work. If structural changes are required, we handle them as part of your project. You’ll know upfront what’s involved and what it means for timeline and cost. No surprises during installation.
