Door installation and replacement covers exterior entry doors, storm doors, patio (sliding or French) doors, and security doors — new units going into new openings, or existing doors being swapped for better-performing replacements.

Installation vs. replacement

Same distinction as windows: installation means a door is going somewhere new — an addition, a converted opening, or new construction — and typically involves more framing and finish work. Replacement means swapping a door already in place, which is faster and more common for most homeowners.

Common door types we cover

See our full door styles guide for detail on each: entry doors, storm doors, patio doors, French doors, and security doors.

What drives cost

Door material (steel, fiberglass, or wood), glass content, hardware quality, and whether the project is a straightforward swap or full-frame work all affect price — similar cost logic to window replacement, though doors involve additional considerations like locksets, thresholds, and weatherproofing at the base of the frame.

Frequently asked

Door installation questions.

Installation covers a door going into an opening that didn't have one before — an addition, a converted opening, or new construction. Replacement swaps an existing door in an existing opening. Most homeowners with an aging or damaged door are looking at replacement, which we also cover on this page.
A single door — entry, patio, or storm — typically takes two to four hours depending on whether it's a straightforward swap into an existing frame or a full frame replacement.
A like-for-like replacement in the same opening usually doesn't require a permit in most Marion County cases. Enlarging or relocating an opening typically does. Confirm specifics with your installer.
Yes, particularly if you're replacing an older, poorly sealed entry door. Modern doors with quality weatherstripping and insulated cores perform meaningfully better than older wood doors with worn seals — see our energy-efficient windows page for the same underlying glazing principles that apply to doors with glass panels.
