Door installation services improve security and can add to a home’s curb appeal. They also help seal drafts and air leaks, reducing energy bills.
Professional installers have the skills and experience to handle the task. They can also help you select the right doors for your needs and budget.
Window Replacements
When you have windows with cracked or broken glass, fogginess between panes or a frame that’s rotting around the sill, it’s time for replacement. A window replacement solves those problems and adds style to your home’s exterior as well.
There are two types of window replacements: insert and full frame. With insert windows, new windows are installed within the existing window frames, preserving interior and exterior trim. In most cases, the old sash and operating hardware are removed but replaced with a new window unit that’s anchored, insulated and sealed to the existing frame.
With full frame replacement, the old sash and frame are removed and the window is installed in a new frame and brickmould to address issues like leaks or rot. Choosing the right type of window and frame is important because it affects energy efficiency, appearance and overall cost. A professional will help you choose the best solution.
Entry Door Replacements
The door is the first thing that greets guests, so it needs to be attractive and a good reflection of your home style. It should also provide meaningful insulation, keep pests out and moisture in and be sturdy enough to withstand weather conditions. It is also important that it meets local building codes and safety standards.
A quality exterior door adds curb appeal, improves home security and increases resale value. It is one of the most cost-effective home improvement projects that yields a high return on investment. A professional will be able to install a front door that will fit your space and match your style and budget.
Replacing an interior or exterior door is a complicated project that should be left to professionals. The pros will visit your home to assess the damage, measure the opening and check the design of the new doors to give you an estimate. This will help you avoid misunderstandings and overpaying for the job.
French Door Replacements
French doors are a high-end exterior door option that can add curb appeal and boost property value. They provide meaningful energy savings and keep pests out and moisture in. They can also be customized with add-ons like smart locks and wrought iron details.
The cost of French doors can vary widely depending on the size and design you choose. In general, they are more expensive than other types of exterior doors. However, they provide a unique look and maximize ventilation and natural light in living areas.
A professional can install a mid-grade steel French door and basic hardware for around $1,500. You can reduce the price by shopping for a discounted model at home improvement stores or construction salvage retailers. You can also minimize expenses by combining the project with other home improvement projects. Lastly, you can save money by opting for low-maintenance materials that don’t require painting. This will allow you to enjoy your new doors for years without worrying about fading or chipping.
Sliding Glass Door Replacements
Sliding glass doors allow for natural light, enhance home aesthetics, and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. But over time, wear and tear may make them difficult to open or close, let outside noise in, and compromise your home’s security.
A new, quality sliding door can address all of these issues and give you a fresh look. Plus, it can offer meaningful insulation and help reduce energy costs.
The cost of your sliding glass door replacement will vary depending on the materials and design you choose. Options like smart locks, integrated blinds, and custom hardware will add to the price. Other customizations include pet panels, which allow your cat or dog to easily enter and exit, and window tinting, which can reduce glare and heat gain. A professional installer can help you select the right option for your home’s needs and budget. They will also ensure that the selected door fits properly in the existing frame and install necessary accessories like leakproof flashing, shims, jambs, support blocks, filler strips, sill pans, and PVC cement.
