FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do doors stick in older Alexandria homes?
Doors in older Alexandria homes — particularly those built before 1960 — stick most often due to seasonal wood expansion from humidity, gradual foundation settling that shifts door frames out of square, or simply worn hinges. In Alexandria's humid summers, wood doors and frames swell noticeably. The fix ranges from simple adjustment and hinge tightening to full frame correction depending on the root cause.
How much does it cost to replace an exterior door?
Exterior door replacement in Northern Virginia typically ranges from $800–$2,500+ including installation, depending on the door style, material, and whether the frame needs repair or replacement. A standard pre-hung steel door installation runs roughly $800–$1,500. Custom or fiberglass doors with detailed trim work run higher. We provide a free itemized estimate.
Is a storm door worth it?
A storm door is a cost-effective way to add protection and improve energy efficiency — extending the life of your primary entry door by shielding it from rain, sun, and temperature extremes. They typically cost $300–$700 installed. In Northern Virginia's climate, a storm door is a reasonable investment for any frequently used exterior door.
Can you repair a door the same day after a break-in?
We make every effort to respond same-day for emergency door repairs, including post break-in damage. A kicked-in door frame or damaged lock set is a safety issue — we prioritize these calls. We can typically reinforce the frame, install a new lock set, and make the door secure in a single visit.
Do you install customer-supplied doors?
Yes. We are happy to install a door you have purchased yourself. Let us know the door specs in advance and we will confirm the rough opening dimensions before your scheduled installation day. Standard installation labor rates apply.
