Door work ranges from a single prehung interior door to a full exterior door system with new framing, weatherstripping, and hardware. What drives cost up: non-standard rough openings that need modification, exterior doors requiring new framing or structural work, high-end door materials like solid wood or fiberglass with custom lites, and multi-door projects across an entire home. What keeps cost down: standard sizing, existing frames in good condition, and straightforward hardware. We don't upsell you on a full frame tearout when a proper adjustment and seal is all the job needs. Every job is different, contact Greater Charlotte Contracting for an accurate estimate.
From bedroom doors to front entries, the scope of door work varies more than most homeowners expect.
Front and back entry doors are where energy loss and security failures show up first. We install prehung exterior door units, address the rough opening if it's out of square, and make sure the weatherstripping and threshold seal correctly. A poorly hung exterior door doesn't just look bad, it leaks air, water, and heat.
After a remodel or addition, interior doors often need to be hung in fresh framing. We set prehung units level and plumb, install hardware, and get the swing and latch working without binding. It sounds simple. Done wrong, you've got a door that won't stay closed or one that swings open on its own.
Sliding doors, both traditional track-style and modern barn door setups, require a solid header and precise hardware placement. We handle the structural side as well as the finish work, so you're not left with hardware pulling away from the wall six months later.
French doors require a wider rough opening and careful alignment between two active panels. We've installed them for interior pass-throughs and as exterior patio doors. The margin for error on getting both panels to meet cleanly is small, and it shows immediately if the installation wasn't precise.
A storm door adds a meaningful layer of insulation and keeps your entry door protected from direct weather. Installation is straightforward when the framing is solid, but older homes sometimes have door frames that need attention before a storm door will close and latch correctly.
New doors need new hardware, and older doors sometimes just need a lockset or handle upgrade. We install deadbolts, handle sets, knobs, and privacy locks. If security is the concern, we can talk through options that make sense for your exterior doors without overcomplicating the install.
How We Work
We measure the rough opening, check the frame for square and level, and look at the surrounding framing for any rot or damage that needs to be addressed before a new door goes in. Skipping this step is why a lot of door installs fail.
We'll work with you on the door itself, style, material, and hardware, so what gets installed is what you actually wanted. We don't just show up with whatever was convenient to grab.
The door gets set plumb and level, shimmed properly, hardware installed, and the perimeter sealed against air and water infiltration. We don't consider the job done until the door swings, latches, and seals the way it's supposed to.
Honest Scoping
An exterior door replacement pairs naturally with window recapping, siding repair, or a full curb appeal enhancement. If the entry area has rotted framing or failing trim, we handle that in the same visit rather than leaving it for a second contractor.
New flooring, fresh drywall, and updated trim mean your existing doors often look dated by comparison. We install interior doors as part of broader handyman services or remodel scopes, not just as standalone calls.
You don't manage a separate carpenter, a separate painter, and a separate finish crew. The person you talk to is the person doing the work. That's been true across 20-plus years in this trade, and it's not changing.
Interior or exterior, single door or full home, we scope it accurately and do the work ourselves.
