What changes the price of exterior door replacement

Your door installer prices the job after seeing it. These are the things that move the number most.

  • Door material

    Steel is usually the most affordable; fiberglass and solid wood cost more.

  • Glass and sidelights

    Decorative glass, sidelights and transoms add to the price and the installation work.

  • Standard or custom size

    Standard sizes come pre-hung; unusual openings may need a custom door or framing work.

  • Rot at the sill or frame

    Damaged framing has to be repaired before the new door goes in.

Questions to ask a Decatur door installer

  • Ask whether the price is for a pre-hung door with a new frame or for the slab only.
  • Ask what is included for trim, paint and hardware.
  • Ask about the door warranty and the installation warranty separately.
  • For patio doors, ask about the glass package and the track system.
