An exterior door has to seal, latch and swing right for years, in a climate that swings a hundred degrees between January and July. That comes down to how it's set, not what it cost.

Lake Bluff is a small village of mostly older housing stock, which usually means plaster walls and openings that were never quite square. Whichever it turns out to be, the carpenter who prices your Lake Bluff job is the one who shows up to do it.

Then it's shimmed plumb at the hinges, checked for an even reveal top to bottom, and cased inside and out so the trim reads like it always belonged there.

Common questions

Exterior & Entry Door Replacement in Lake Bluff, answered

Do you do exterior & entry door replacement in Lake Bluff?

Yes. Lake Bluff is inside our regular service area and we work there every month. Call (224) 944-8652 and we'll set a time to look at the job and put a written price on it.

Do I need a whole new door or just the frame?

Sometimes just the frame. If the slab is sound and only the jamb has gone soft, rebuilding the opening is cheaper than a pre-hung unit. We will tell you which one you are looking at before you buy anything.

How much does it cost?

Every job is priced after we see the actual space, so you get a real number rather than a range. The estimate is free, it's in writing, and the scope is spelled out before any work starts.
