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.
