Door Replacement & Entry Doors in St. Louis, MO

Door replacement and entry door installation in St. Louis

Entry door installation St. Louis homeowners can rely on comes down to the opening, not just the door. A new door hung in a frame that's out of square, or on a sill that's soft, will stick and leak like the old one. So every door replacement starts with checking the frame, sill and threshold, and the door is sized and ordered to fit that opening. Because our St. Louis roofing team also handles siding and windows, we flash the head of the door so water runs out over the trim, not into the wall.

Entry, patio and storm doors we install

• Entry doors in fiberglass, steel and wood, with or without sidelights and glass.
• Patio doors: sliding and hinged doors to the deck or yard.
• French doors, double doors for patios and wide openings.
• Storm doors for ventilation and an extra layer in front of the entry door.
• Garage entry doors between the garage and the house.
• Hardware: deadbolts, handle sets, smart locks and keypad entry.

Fiberglass resists dents and can be stained to look like wood; steel is strong and costs less; wood looks best and needs the most care.

What is the average cost to replace or install an entry door?

The average cost to replace an entry door depends on three things: the door itself, whether it's prehung or a slab, and how much of the frame and trim has to be rebuilt. A steel door in a sound opening costs far less than a fiberglass door with sidelights and new framing. We price each door replacement after measuring, and the estimate lists the door, hardware and labor separately so you can compare.

• Door material and glass
• Prehung unit or slab only
• Rot repair at the sill, jamb or subfloor
• Sidelights, transoms or a size change
• Hardware and smart locks
• Interior and exterior trim and paint

Storm doors and your entry door warranty

Read the entry door's warranty before adding a storm door. A storm door in full sun can trap heat against the entry door, and several door manufacturers' published warranties limit or void coverage when a storm door is added, or when the door faces direct sun without an overhang. A south- or west-facing front door is where this matters most. We check the warranty terms for the door you choose before installing a storm door over it.

Choosing a front door color and finish

Pick a front door color that works with the roof, trim and siding, since the door is the one place a bold color is easy to change later. Fiberglass can be stained or painted; steel is painted. Dark colors absorb more heat, so a dark door in full sun is another reason to check the manufacturer's finish guidance. If you're redoing the outside, plan the door with siding replacement and replacement windows so the trim and colors match.
