Door Installation

Background

Door Installation

Exterior doors are one of the most critical components of any building – they provide security, insulation, and define the character of your home or business.

Properly installed doors help maintain interior temperature, reduce noise, and prevent air or water infiltration. They also serve as a visual focal point, contributing to both curb appeal and overall property value.

In contrast, poor installation can result in misalignment, energy loss, or premature wear – issues that compromise both comfort and security.

Choosing a licensed and experienced door contractor ensures that every aspect, from the frame to the final seal, is done right the first time.

Licensed specialists and

guaranteed quality

Our team consists of proven, licensed specialists in the field of exterior work. We comply with building codes and standards. We use only high-quality, energy-efficient and proven materials.

What We Offer

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions – especially when it comes to doors.
Some clients come to us needing a solid, secure front door to protect their family. Others want to bring more light into a space with a glass-paneled design. And some simply need to replace an old unit that sticks, leaks, or just doesn’t close right anymore.

Whatever the case, we start by listening.

We help you choose a door that matches your style, fits your space, and performs the way it should. We handle measurements ourselves (no guessing), offer straight answers about materials, and explain the pros and cons of every option.

Then we get to work – carefully removing what needs to go, preparing the frame, sealing it tight, and making sure everything functions smoothly down to the final hinge.

We’ve done this in hundred-year-old homes with crooked walls, new builds where everything’s still settling, and busy commercial properties where downtime isn’t an option. And we’ll do it for you, too – properly.

Types of Door Work We Handle

Over the years, we’ve seen just about every door-related issue you can think of – and fixed most of them on the spot.Here’s a quick look at what we do – though if you don’t see your exact situation here, chances are we’ve done it anyway.

  • New Door Installation. For new homes, additions, or remodeled spaces. We make sure the frame is solid, the opening is level, and the door closes with that satisfying, clean click.
  • Door Replacement. When a door is letting in air, dragging on the floor, or just doesn’t match your space anymore – we remove it, make any needed adjustments, and install a better one. No mess, no patchwork.
  • Custom Fitting. Not all walls are straight. Not all doors are standard. If you’ve got an unusual size, shape, or layout – we’ll make it work like it was always meant to fit.
  • Entry & Exterior Doors. We specialize in front doors, back entries, side access points, and commercial-grade exterior doors. Steel, fiberglass, glass, wood – we work with all of them, and we’ll help you choose what makes sense for your space and budget.

What to Expect During a Typical Door Installation

  • Initial Consultation. We visit your property, assess the current door or opening, take fresh measurements, and listen to your goals (better insulation, more light, improved security, etc.).
  • Door Selection. If you haven’t chosen a door yet, we help you compare materials, styles, and features that fit your needs and budget.
  • Scheduling the Work. Once everything’s decided, we schedule the installation at a time that works for you – with clear communication and no delays.
  • Removal of the Old Door (if applicable). We carefully remove the existing door and inspect the frame for damage, rot, or structural issues.
  • Frame Prep & Adjustments. Before the new door goes in, we level and reinforce the frame to ensure a perfect fit – no warping, no gaps.
  • Precise Installation. The new door is set, sealed, and aligned. We install all hardware (hinges, locksets, handles) and make sure everything opens and closes smoothly.
  • Final Testing & Cleanup. We check the swing, latch, insulation, and weatherproofing. Once it all works perfectly – we tidy up and leave you with a clean finish.

Most Popular Types of Exterior Doors.

  • Fiberglass Doors. Durable, low-maintenance, and weather-resistant. Fiberglass doors can mimic the look of real wood without the upkeep – and they’re great at insulating against heat and cold.
    Best for: Busy households, variable climates, energy efficiency.
  • Steel Doors. Known for strength and security. Steel doors are tough, cost-effective, and ideal for front or back entries that need extra protection.
    Best for: Security-focused installations, commercial properties.
  • Solid Wood Doors. A classic option with natural beauty. Wood doors add character and curb appeal but do require routine maintenance to protect against weather and moisture.
    Best for: Historic homes, premium aesthetics, custom designs.
  • Glass Panel Doors. Bring in more light without sacrificing structure. Available in partial or full glass layouts, often double- or triple-pane for insulation.
    Best for: Patio doors, side entries, modern home designs.
  • Sliding and French Doors. Ideal for backyards, decks, and patio access. Sliding doors save space, while French doors offer a more traditional, open feel.
    Best for: Rear entries, indoor-outdoor flow, maximizing daylight.

What You Get After Installation

Once the job’s done, the first thing you’ll likely notice is how solid everything feels. No more wiggling the handle, forcing it shut, or feeling cold air sneak through the sides.

The space feels quieter. Warmer in the winter. Cooler in the summer. And just more put-together overall.

If it’s a front door, it immediately changes how your home looks from the street – fresh, secure, and intentional. If it’s a back door or patio entrance, you’ll probably catch yourself using it more often now that it slides, locks, and seals properly.

And maybe most importantly, you’ll stop thinking about your door altogether. It’ll just work – every time – the way it’s supposed to.

    01.

    Are there entry doors with energy-efficient insulation (Energy Star certified)?

    Yes. We offer a wide range of Energy Star® certified doors that include high-performance insulation cores, weatherstripping, and low-emissivity (Low-E) glass inserts. These doors help reduce heating and cooling costs and improve indoor comfort year-round.

    02.

    How long does it take to install a new entry door?

    Most standard door replacements take about 2 to 4 hours. If your project includes structural changes, smart locks, or side panels, it may take up to a full day. We always aim for same-day completion with minimal disruption to your home.

    03.

    Can I replace the front door along with the lock and smart options (keypad, WiFi-lock)?

    Yes. We offer integrated installation of entry doors along with smart locks, keypad access, or WiFi-connected security systems. You’ll have a seamless upgrade that improves both curb appeal and modern home functionality. We’ll even help with app setup and system testing if needed.

    04.

    What type of entry door is best for Portland’s climate (rain, humidity, temperature swings)?

    For Portland’s wet and variable climate, fiberglass entry doors are often the best choice. They’re moisture-resistant, won’t warp or rot like wood, and provide excellent thermal insulation. Steel doors are also a solid option for durability and security but may need periodic maintenance to prevent rust. We’ll help you choose based on your home’s needs and style.
