We are happy to offer you options for professional remodeling contractors who have worked in your neighborhood and who have been vetted by your neighbors and your city.

It’s very important that you plan your entry door installation well in advance. Here are some tips to make the process easy and quick:

• Set a realistic home remodeling budget. Always include leeway for some surprise costs. Experts advise adding 20% extra to your existing budget.
• Check your local building code for any permit requirements. If your entry door installation affects the structural integrity of your house, your local codes will probably require a permit and that you work with a contractor.
• Work with expert door contractors. A professional finish goes a long way in adding beauty and curb value to your home.
• Remember to install or replace your entry door in good weather. As the old door is removed, there’ll be a time when the opening is exposed to the elements. Until the new door is in place, you don’t want to be inconvenienced.
• Measure your door size accurately before browsing through all the available options.
• Decide whether you want a slab door or a pre-hung door (which includes both the door and the door frame).
• Understand the types, materials, and pros and cons of the doors you are choosing from.
• Know that you have the option of choosing single door, double doors, doors with sidelights or transoms, etc..
• Decide early on whether you want extra security (chain lock or a stopper) if your door swings inward.
• Be sure to get a warranty or guarantee from your contractor.
• Get a written contract from your contractor. The document should detail the complete schedule, deadlines for milestones and payment process.
• Maintain a timeline in order to manage a seamless door installation.

These steps will help you avoid unexpected hassles and issues and make your front door installation project go much more smoothly.
