Front Door Replacement — Door, Frame & Threshold as One System
When a door has rotted, warped, or stopped closing right, replacing the slab alone rarely fixes it. We replace the whole system and set it correctly.
The DFW problem nobody mentions
A lot of the “my door won’t latch” calls we get in Dallas and Fort Worth aren’t door problems.
They’re frame problems, caused by the clay soil under the house moving. A new door in a racked frame will stick exactly the same way in eight months.
We check the frame before we quote the door. If the fix is smaller than you thought, we’ll tell you — we’d rather do a small job right than sell you a large one you didn’t need.

Scope
What’s included
Door, frame, threshold, weatherstripping, and hardware. Old unit removed, opening squared, new unit set plumb and sealed, interior and exterior trim finished.
Built for Texas
West-facing entries in DFW take punishment most doors aren’t built for — direct afternoon sun, hundred-degree summers, and hard freezes that expose every gap. We specify accordingly and we seal accordingly.
- 01Head jamb — set level, not to the old opening
- 02Side jambs — plumb and square, shimmed at every hinge
- 03Door slab
- 04Weatherstripping — compression checked all the way round
- 05Threshold — the part that fails first on a west-facing entry
- 06Sill pan — where water goes when it gets past everything else
- 07Exterior trim — sealed to the cladding
- 08Interior casing — finished, not left for someone else
We replace the whole system and set it correctly.
If your door works fine and you just don't like it
That’s a legitimate reason to replace it, and it’s more common than you’d think.
Production builders spec the entry door down, and by year seven or eight most homeowners have noticed that theirs is the cheapest-looking thing on the front of the house — and that six neighbors have the same one. Nothing has to be broken.
Replacing the entry is the most visible change you can make to the front of a house, and it’s the one project you can see from the street.
Pricing
Investment
Complete entry door replacement typically runs $3,500 to $8,000.
You’re at the lower end if the frame is sound, the opening is standard, and you’re going with a quality fiberglass or steel system. You’re at the upper end if the frame and threshold need replacing, the opening is non-standard, or you’re going to solid wood with sidelights.
We can usually tell you which after ten minutes of looking at it.
