The work

Exterior & Entry Door Replacement services across Lake County, IL

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.

The opening usually needs work before the new door goes in. Jamb legs rot from the bottom up where water sits on the sill, and a door set into a soft opening will drop out of square within a season no matter how good the unit is. We cut back to solid framing first.

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, answered

Do you offer exterior & entry door replacement across Lake County?

Yes. Exterior & Entry Door Replacement is one of our core services and we cover all of Lake County, from Lake Forest and Highland Park up to Zion and Antioch. Call (224) 944-8652 for a free estimate.

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.
