You walk up to your house and feel proud. Your energy bills drop because air isn’t leaking through gaps and cheap weatherstripping. Your insurance agent might even give you a discount because you’ve got real security now, not just a hollow door with a flimsy lock.
Your property value goes up immediately. Not just because it looks better, but because buyers in North Brunswick know quality when they see it. And when storm season hits New Jersey, you’re not worried about your door warping or the frame shifting.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing someone can’t just kick in your front door. That peace of mind? Worth every penny.
We’ve been serving North Brunswick and surrounding Middlesex County communities for years. We’re the team homeowners call when they want it done right the first time.
We’re not the guys who show up, slap in a door, and disappear. We handle everything from design consultation to final installation with our own in-house team. No subcontractors. No surprises.
Our project managers actually return your calls. Our installers know the difference between a proper fit and “good enough.” And we use materials that can handle New Jersey weather without falling apart in five years.
First, we come out and actually measure your opening. Not just the door, but the frame, the structural support, everything. Because a beautiful door that doesn’t fit right is useless.
Then our design team works with you to pick the right door for your home and your budget. We’re not pushing the most expensive option because we get a bigger commission. We’re recommending what makes sense for your situation.
Installation day, our crew shows up on time with the right tools and materials. We protect your floors, remove the old door properly, and install your new one with attention to weatherproofing, security, and operation. Before we leave, we test everything and walk you through maintenance.
Ready to get started?
You get proper structural assessment to make sure your frame can handle the new door weight. We check for rot, settling issues, or other problems that could cause trouble later.
The installation includes weatherstripping that actually works, proper insulation around the frame, and hardware that’s rated for security, not just decoration. We also handle any trim work needed to make everything look finished.
In North Brunswick’s climate, doors expand and contract with temperature changes. We account for that during installation so your door operates smoothly year-round. Most installers skip this step, then you’re calling someone back in six months when your door sticks or won’t latch properly.
Standard door replacement typically runs $500 to $2,000, but that’s just for basic doors with minimal customization. Iron doors and custom work cost more because you’re getting materials and craftsmanship that last decades, not years.
The real question isn’t what it costs upfront, it’s what it costs over time. A cheap door needs replacement in 5-7 years. Weather damage, security issues, energy loss – it adds up fast. Quality doors pay for themselves through energy savings and avoiding replacement costs.
We give you honest pricing upfront with no surprise charges. The quote includes everything needed for proper installation, not just the door itself.
Iron doors are built for security first, style second. Someone can kick in a standard wooden or fiberglass door with enough force. Iron doors resist forced entry attempts that would destroy conventional doors.
They also handle weather better. Wood warps, fiberglass fades, and both can crack under impact. Iron doors maintain their shape and strength through New Jersey’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat.
The energy efficiency is better too. Our iron doors include thermal break technology that prevents heat transfer, keeping your heating and cooling costs down. Standard doors often have gaps and poor insulation that waste energy year-round.
Most installations take 4-6 hours if everything goes smoothly. That includes removing the old door, preparing the opening, installing the new door, and finishing the trim work.
Custom iron doors or situations requiring frame modification take longer. If we discover structural issues during the old door removal, we fix those properly rather than working around them.
We schedule installations when we can complete the job in one day. Nobody wants their front door opening exposed overnight, especially in North Brunswick where weather can change quickly.
Less maintenance than you’d think. The biggest thing is keeping the finish in good condition to prevent rust. That means cleaning off salt and debris during winter months and touching up any scratches before they become problems.
Most of our doors need refinishing every 5-7 years depending on exposure. That’s less frequent than repainting wood doors, and the underlying structure lasts much longer.
The hardware needs occasional lubrication, same as any door. But iron door hardware is typically heavier-duty than standard residential hardware, so it holds up better to daily use.
Usually, yes, but it depends on the structural integrity of your current frame. Iron doors are heavier than standard doors, so the frame needs to be solid enough to support the extra weight.
If your current frame is in good shape, we can often work with the existing opening. If there’s rot, settling damage, or the opening isn’t square, we fix those issues as part of the installation.
Sometimes homeowners want a larger door than their current opening allows. We can modify openings, but that’s more involved work requiring permits and structural considerations. We handle all of that if needed.
We warranty our installation workmanship because we stand behind our work. If something goes wrong due to improper installation, we fix it at no charge.
The door itself comes with manufacturer warranties that vary by product. Iron doors typically have longer warranties than standard doors because they’re built to last longer.
What we don’t warranty is damage from normal wear, weather events, or homeowner modifications. But we’re always available if you have questions or need service down the road. We want your door working properly for decades, not just until the warranty expires.
