Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our door installation and repair services.

Most door installations can be completed in 2-4 hours, depending on the complexity. A simple interior door replacement might take 1-2 hours, while a full exterior door installation with frame work could take 3-4 hours. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we assess your specific project.

Yes! We provide free, no-obligation estimates for all door repair and installation projects. We can often give you a ballpark estimate over the phone, but we prefer to see the door in person to provide the most accurate quote and ensure we understand exactly what you need.

It depends on the condition of your door and frame. Minor issues like sticking, squeaking, or loose hardware can usually be repaired cost-effectively. However, if your door has significant damage, rot, warping, or major drafts, replacement is often the better long-term investment. We'll assess your door honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

We work with all types of doors including entry doors, storm doors, sliding patio doors, French doors, interior doors, closet doors, and pocket doors. We handle wood, fiberglass, steel, and composite materials. Whether it's a standard size or custom door, we have the experience to install it properly.

Yes! All our door installation work comes with a lifetime labor warranty. This covers any issues related to our installation workmanship. The doors and hardware we install are covered by manufacturer warranties, which we'll provide documentation for at the time of installation.

Absolutely! We can help you find doors that match your existing style, or we can update your look entirely. We work with quality suppliers who offer a wide range of styles, finishes, and hardware options. Bring us a photo or description of what you're looking for, and we'll help you find the perfect match.

Door Repair Experience in Your Area

Recent Fix: O'Fallon Sticking Door

A homeowner in O'Fallon's Winghaven neighborhood called us about a front door that wouldn't close properly. The door had been sticking for months, requiring force to latch, and was letting in drafts that drove up their heating bill.

After inspection, we found the issue: minor foundation settling (common in homes built on St. Louis clay soil) had shifted the door frame slightly. We adjusted the hinges, planed the door edge where it was binding, and installed a new weatherstrip. The entire repair took 90 minutes and cost $275.

Result: The door now closes smoothly, the drafts are gone, and the homeowner estimates they're saving $30-40/month on heating costs.

What Door Repairs Cost

Most door repairs in the St. Louis and Metro East area range from $150 to $800, depending on the problem. Here's the typical breakdown:

Hinge adjustment/replacement: $150-$300
Door planing (sticking doors): $200-$400
Lockset/hardware replacement: $200-$500
Frame repair/adjustment: $300-$600
Full door replacement: $400-$1,200+ (depending on door quality)

Every estimate includes parts and labor with no hidden fees. If we can fix it instead of replacing it, we'll tell you.

Why St. Louis Area Doors Stick and Sag

If you live in an older St. Louis home—especially in neighborhoods like Soulard, Tower Grove, or the Hill—you've probably dealt with sticking doors. The combination of wood expansion from humidity changes and minor foundation settling creates the perfect conditions for door problems.

In Metro East Illinois homes, we see similar issues. The seasonal temperature swings cause wood doors to expand in summer and contract in winter. Add in the clay-heavy soil that shifts with moisture, and you've got doors that work fine in October but won't close in July.

The good news? Most door problems are fixable without replacement. A skilled handyman can adjust hinges, plane edges, and reset frames to restore smooth operation—usually in under two hours.
