Exterior Door Installation, Replacement & Repair in Chicagoland

Both. We service and replace every door on the exterior of your house — front entry, back doors, sliding patio doors, hinged French and atrium doors, storm doors, screen doors, and the hardware and weatherseal that goes with them. We do not service interior doors, but if it is on the outside, we work on it.

Yes — sliding-door dragging, sticking, and off-track issues are one of the most common calls we run. Usually it is worn rollers, a bent track, or built-up debris in the bottom rail. Most are one-trip fixes from truck stock. If the rollers are too far gone or the panel is bent, we will quote replacement options.

Probably not. Most drafty doors are a weatherseal problem — the bottom sweep, the perimeter seal, or the threshold has worn out and air is getting through. New seals and a threshold adjustment usually fix it. If the door itself is rotted, warped, or insulated badly, then a replacement makes sense — but we always try the cheaper repair first.

Yes. We measure the opening, order the right insulated glass unit (IGU) for double-pane, or tempered safety glass for slider and sidelight panels, and install it without replacing the whole door. Faster, far less expensive, and saves a perfectly good door from the landfill.

Yes — full-view storm doors, retractable-screen storm doors, ventilating storm doors with built-in screens, hinged screen doors, and sliding patio screen doors. Most storm and screen door installs are done in a single visit. We also re-screen existing frames if the screen itself is torn but the frame is good.

On the install day, a typical entry-door replacement takes 3–6 hours — pull the old door and frame, prep the rough opening, set and shim the new unit, install hardware, apply weatherseal and interior trim, and clean up. The wait time before that depends on the door — basic stock doors can be a few days; custom fiberglass with sidelights and a specific finish can be a few weeks.

No — we focus on the exterior. If you need bedroom, closet, or interior pocket doors, we will point you to a finish carpenter or interior trim specialist. We service every door on the outside of your house, but we do not work on the inside.

Up-front per job, not hourly. You get a written quote on site before we start. There is a service-call fee for the diagnostic visit; if you approve the work, the fee rolls into the repair cost. For full installs and replacements, we put the door, hardware, and labor on one written quote so you can compare apples to apples.
