You stop second-guessing your home’s security. No more cringing when you see your faded entrance next to your neighbor’s pristine door. No more drafts sneaking through gaps that drive up energy bills.
Your front door replacement means confidence every time you pull into your driveway. You get a home that looks intentional, not like an afterthought. Most importantly, you get peace of mind knowing your entry door installation was done right the first time.
When we handle your exterior door installation, your door works smoothly for decades. Not months. Decades.
We’ve been handling front door replacement and custom iron doors throughout Shrewsbury Township and Monmouth County for years. We understand how New Jersey’s brutal winters and humid summers punish your entrance.
We’ve worked on colonial homes along the Navesink River, modern builds near the borough center, and everything in between. Each project teaches us something new about what works in this area. What doesn’t.
Our door fitting service team knows local building requirements, understands the soil conditions that affect settling, and recognizes the architectural styles that define Shrewsbury Township neighborhoods. This isn’t guesswork.
First, we measure everything twice. Your existing frame, the opening, the clearances. We check for square, level, and plumb because most front door installation problems start with bad measurements.
Next comes removal of your old door. We protect your floors, contain the mess, and dispose of everything properly. No debris cluttering your driveway.
Then we prep the opening. This might mean adjusting the frame, adding shims, or addressing issues the previous installer missed. We handle whatever needs fixing before your new entry door goes in.
Finally, we install your new front door with proper sealing, weatherstripping, and hardware adjustment. We test the operation, check the lock alignment, and make sure everything works perfectly before we leave your property.

Your exterior door installation includes complete removal and disposal of your old door, professional fitting of your new entrance, and all necessary weatherproofing. We handle permits if required and clean up completely when finished.
In Shrewsbury Township, we see plenty of homes built in the 1950s and 1960s that need frame adjustments. Decades of settling means openings aren’t always square anymore. We fix these issues as part of every front door replacement.
We also account for the local climate. Shrewsbury Township gets hammered by nor’easters, summer humidity, and temperature swings that can warp improperly installed doors. Our installation methods prevent these problems before they start.
Every installation comes with our warranty covering both materials and workmanship. If something goes wrong because of our work, we fix it. No charge.
Most front door installations take between 2-4 hours, depending on whether we need to make frame adjustments. If your opening is square and properly sized, we can usually complete the job in about 2 hours.
However, many Shrewsbury Township homes have settling issues that require frame work. This adds time but ensures your door operates correctly for years. We’d rather spend extra time getting it right than rush and leave you with problems down the road.
Same-day installation is possible if we have your chosen door in stock and your opening doesn’t need major adjustments. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after our initial assessment.
Steel and fiberglass doors handle New Jersey weather better than wood. Steel provides excellent security and insulation, while fiberglass resists warping and doesn’t need frequent repainting.
Iron doors offer the best combination of durability, security, and style for our climate. They don’t rot like wood, don’t dent like hollow steel, and can withstand decades of harsh weather with minimal maintenance.
Wood doors look beautiful but require regular maintenance in our humidity. If you choose wood for your front door replacement, expect to refinish it every few years to prevent weather damage and fading.
Yes, custom iron doors are one of our specialties. We design doors to match your home’s architecture, from traditional colonial styles to modern contemporary looks that fit Shrewsbury Township’s diverse housing styles.
Custom installations typically take 4-6 weeks from design approval to installation. This includes fabrication time and any necessary frame modifications. We handle all measurements, permits, and coordination with local building departments.
Pricing for custom iron doors ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on size, design complexity, and glass options. We provide detailed quotes upfront with no hidden fees or surprises.
Absolutely. Frame issues are common in Shrewsbury Township, especially in older homes. We regularly handle frame repairs, adjustments, and complete replacements as part of door installations.
Common frame problems include settling damage, rot from moisture, and improper previous installations. We assess the frame condition during our initial visit and include any necessary repairs in your quote.
Sometimes frame work adds a day to the project timeline, but it’s essential for proper door operation. A new door in a damaged frame will never work correctly and will likely fail prematurely.
We measure, fit, and install every door ourselves. Big box stores typically subcontract to whoever bids lowest, which often means inexperienced installers who rush through jobs.
Our installers understand iron doors, frame adjustments, and proper weatherproofing. They carry specialized tools and know how to handle problems that arise during installation. Most importantly, they stand behind their work.
We also provide ongoing support after installation. If you have questions or minor adjustments needed, we handle them directly. With subcontracted work, you’re often on your own once the installer leaves.
Quality front doors typically return 60-70% of their cost in increased home value, and iron doors often exceed this because of their durability and visual impact on potential buyers.
In Shrewsbury Township’s competitive real estate market, homes with distinctive, well-maintained entrances stand out immediately. Iron doors signal quality construction and attention to detail throughout the property.
Beyond resale value, iron doors provide immediate benefits like improved security, energy efficiency, and curb appeal. These advantages make your investment worthwhile even if you never plan to sell.
