Types of Exterior Doors We Install
Solid Wood Doors
Warm and classic. Wood adds real value but needs proper sealing and trim to handle Ohio’s humidity swings.
Fiberglass Doors
A great option if you want wood looks but low maintenance. Fiberglass resists dents, fading, and cracking.
Steel Doors
Very strong and secure, especially for front entryways. Steel can be insulated to boost your home’s energy efficiency.
Glass Panel & Decorative Options
Add sidelights or decorative glass panels for more natural light and style. We’ll help you find a solution that fits your personality and your budget.
How Our Installation Process Works
We keep things simple, honest, and transparent.
- Inspection & Measurement
We don’t guess. We measure every opening carefully with laser levels and precision tools so your new door fits perfectly. - Door Selection Help
You pick the style, finish, and features you want. We’ll walk you through pros and cons of wood, fiberglass, steel, and glass options. - Prep & Frame Work
If your existing frame is worn, we fix it. That might mean shimming, reinforcing, or replacing weatherstripping before the new door goes in. - Installation
We install your door carefully — plumb, level, and square — using quality fasteners, insulation, weatherproofing, and hardware. - Weatherproofing & Insulation
This step makes a big difference in energy bills and comfort. You’ll see the difference on chilly Hilliard mornings. - Final Checks & Cleanup
We test every door for smooth operation, check lock function, and clean up before we leave.
A Few Things People Get Wrong
You might think you can just swap in a new door yourself or go with a box store installer. Here’s what we hear a lot from Hilliard homeowners:
- “I thought it’d be easy — until I had a gap between the door and frame.”
- “The hardware wasn’t aligned so the lock stuck.”
- “Our patio door leaked every time it rained.”
People underestimate how precise good door installation must be. If it’s off by even a few millimeters, you get leaks, drafts, and doors that wear out faster. A good install doesn’t just hang the door — it seals, aligns, and protects your home.
How Much Does It Cost?
Costs vary based on material, size, style, and whether the frame needs repair. In Franklin County, basic exterior door installation averages around $155–$250 per door, while fully installed front entry doors typically range $390–$870 or more depending on options.
We provide free, no‑pressure estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying and why before you commit.

FAQs — Real Questions Hilliard Homeowners Ask
- How long does exterior door installation take?
Most door installs take just a few hours, but custom sizes or frame repairs can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline before we start.
- Do you offer emergency door replacement?
Yes. If your door is damaged and unsafe, call us right away and we can often schedule a quick replacement.
- Will a new door really save me money on heating and cooling?
Absolutely. New doors with proper weatherstripping and insulation cut drafts. Many homeowners see a noticeable drop in energy bills after replacement.
- Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. When necessary, we’ll help you get the right local permits and meet Hilliard building requirements.
- What kind of warranty do you offer?
We install according to manufacturer specs so your product warranties stay valid. We also stand behind our work with quality craftsmanship you can count on.
- Can you match existing trim and exterior style?
Yes. We install doors in a way that matches your home’s architecture and trim style, whether it’s classic Hilliard brick or modern siding.
- What if my frame is old or damaged?
We assess every opening first. If the frame needs work, we can repair or reinforce it before installing your new door so it performs well for years.
Front Door Replacement — More Than Just Looks
Your front door isn’t just for style. It affects:
- Security
- Energy efficiency
- Home value
- First impressions
We install doors that balance beauty and performance. If you want decorative glass, sidelights, or extra security hardware, we’ll help you choose what fits your needs.
Patio & Sliding Door Installation
Sliding doors are great for backyard views and easy access, but they’re only effective if they’re level and sealed correctly. We install sliding patio doors that glide smoothly and don’t let water or wind sneak in.
Storm & Security Doors
Need extra protection from weather or want an added security layer? We install storm and security doors that look good and work hard.
Custom Door Fitting & Design
Have an unusual opening? Old house with special character? We cut custom solutions early in the project so the fit isn’t an afterthought.
Door Frame Repair & Weatherproofing
If your current frame is warped or rotted, we fix that first. Installing a new door into a bad frame is like putting a new tire on a bent rim — it won’t work right.
Workmanship You Can Trust
We use real tools and methods:
- Measuring tape, laser levels, alignment jigs
- Quality sealants and weatherproofing
- Proper hardware and installation methods
That’s how we make sure your doors don’t squeak, stick, or water‑leak over time.
