Door Installation FAQs
Here are answers to common questions I get about door installation projects.
How much does door installation cost?
Interior pre-hung door installation starts at $275. Exterior door installation runs $400-700 depending on door type, size, and whether trim work is included. I provide free estimates for your specific project.
Do I need to buy the door first?
You can purchase your own door from Home Depot, Menards, or a specialty door supplier, or I can recommend and source the right unit for your opening, style, and budget.
How long does door installation take?
Interior doors typically take half a day including fitting, shimming, hardware, and trim. Exterior doors may take a full day, especially when weatherstripping, threshold fitting, and casing are all part of the scope.
Can you install custom-sized doors?
Yes, I can modify rough openings and work with custom or non-standard sizes. Enlarging or reducing an opening is additional scope but common in older homes with non-standard dimensions.
Do you install barn doors?
Yes, I install barn doors with proper steel hardware from brands like Calhome, National Hardware, or Rustica, including blocking the wall framing for secure track mounting.

Door installation ranges from a straightforward prehung door swap in an existing rough opening to more involved work like cutting a new opening, adding a pocket door in finished space, or replacing an exterior door with a new insulated fiberglass or steel unit. Prehung interior doors come with the frame, hinges, and stops already assembled, making replacement relatively clean when the existing opening is square and plumb. Exterior door installation is more demanding given weatherstripping, threshold, and sill requirements, and the importance of a tight seal for energy performance in Minnesota winters.
In the Twin Cities east metro, door replacement is a common update during whole-home renovations, when matching a new door style throughout the house, or when an existing door has warped, suffered water damage at the base, or simply needs to be upgraded for better insulation performance. Getting a door hung square and plumb determines how well it swings, whether it latches without adjustment, and how evenly the weatherstrip compresses around the full perimeter. A door that hangs and operates correctly from day one requires less adjustment over time and performs better through seasonal temperature changes.
