You walk up to a door that makes neighbors stop and look. No more drafts sneaking around the edges during those brutal Jersey winters. No more worrying about flimsy locks or rotting frames.
Your energy bills drop because the door actually seals properly. Your home value goes up because quality shows. You sleep better knowing your family’s protected by something built to last decades, not years.
When friends ask where you got it done, you’ll have a real answer instead of a horror story about contractors who disappeared halfway through.
We’ve been installing front doors throughout North Arlington and Bergen County for years. We know these older homes—many built in the 1950s—and the specific challenges they present.
Your neighbors have learned that not every contractor understands iron door installation. The weight, the precision required, the structural considerations. We do this work every day.
We’re the company North Arlington residents call when they want it done right the first time. No shortcuts, no surprises, no excuses.
First, we come to your home for a consultation. We measure everything, discuss your needs, and show you options that actually work with your house and budget. No pressure, just information.
Our in-house design team creates your door specifications. Whether you want something from our pre-designed collection or completely custom, we handle the details. You get a dedicated project manager who keeps everything on track.
Installation day, our experienced crew shows up with everything needed. We remove your old door, install the new one properly, and clean up completely. You’re left with a door that works perfectly and looks exactly like you wanted.

Every front door installation includes professional measurement, proper structural assessment, and complete installation with weather sealing. We handle permits if needed and dispose of your old door.
North Arlington’s older homes often need frame adjustments or structural reinforcement, especially for heavier iron doors. We assess everything upfront so there are no surprises later. Your door will fit perfectly and operate smoothly for decades.
You get quality hardware, professional-grade weather stripping, and a door that meets North Arlington’s building requirements. We also coordinate with your schedule because we know you can’t just leave your front door opening exposed.
Front door replacement in North Arlington typically runs $800 to $3,500, depending on the door material, size, and installation complexity. Basic steel doors start around $800 installed, while custom iron doors can reach $3,500 or more.
The biggest cost factors are the door itself and any structural work needed. Many North Arlington homes built in the 1950s need frame adjustments, which adds to the total. We provide detailed quotes upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Your investment pays back through energy savings, increased home value, and security. Most quality front doors last 20-30 years with proper installation.
Steel and iron doors handle North Arlington’s weather extremes best. They resist warping from humidity, won’t crack from freeze-thaw cycles, and maintain their structural integrity through decades of seasonal changes.
Fiberglass is another solid choice for durability and energy efficiency. Wood looks beautiful but requires more maintenance in our climate. We help you weigh the pros and cons based on your specific situation and maintenance preferences.
The key is proper installation with quality weather sealing. Even the best door fails if it’s not installed correctly for our local conditions.
Most front door installations in North Arlington take 4-6 hours for a straightforward replacement. If we need to adjust the frame or do structural work, it might take a full day.
Custom doors require 2-4 weeks for manufacturing before installation. We coordinate timing so your home isn’t left exposed. For complex installations, we sometimes stage the work over two days to ensure everything’s done right.
Weather can affect timing, especially for exterior work. We schedule around North Arlington’s seasonal patterns and always have backup plans for unexpected conditions.
Yes, we specialize in older homes throughout North Arlington. Many were built in the 1950s and present unique challenges like non-standard openings, settling foundations, and outdated framing.
We assess the structural integrity of your door opening and make necessary adjustments. This might include reinforcing the frame, adjusting for settling, or updating hardware mounting points. Our experience with these homes means fewer surprises and better results.
Older homes often have character features we work around, not through. We preserve architectural details while upgrading your door’s performance and security.
Pre-hung doors come with the frame already attached, making installation faster and ensuring proper fit. Slab doors are just the door itself, requiring separate frame work. For most North Arlington replacements, pre-hung is the better choice.
Pre-hung doors cost more upfront but save on labor and reduce installation problems. The frame and door are manufactured together, so everything aligns perfectly. This matters especially for heavier iron doors where precision is critical.
Slab doors make sense when your existing frame is in perfect condition and the right size. We evaluate your situation and recommend the approach that gives you the best long-term results.
Yes, we create completely custom iron doors to match your vision and architectural style. Our in-house design team works with you to develop unique scrollwork, glass patterns, and finishing details.
Custom designs typically take 2-4 weeks longer than pre-designed options, but you get exactly what you want. We can match existing ironwork, complement your home’s architectural period, or create something completely contemporary.
Every custom door includes detailed drawings for your approval before manufacturing begins. Changes are easier to make on paper than after the door is built, so we take time to get the design exactly right.
