Common questions

Exterior & Entry Door Replacement in Waukegan, answered

Do you do exterior & entry door replacement in Waukegan?

Yes. Waukegan 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.
