Door Replacement and Installation in Seattle

There is no single per-door price, because the slab is usually the smaller part of the cost. An interior door swap into a sound frame is the low end, while an exterior, patio or French door with flashing, trim and finish repair costs more. We price after seeing the opening, the frame and threshold condition, and the trim or siding work the door needs, rather than quoting a flat number.

A slab is just the door panel, hung in an existing frame that is already sound and square. A prehung door comes mounted in its own frame and jamb, which is the better choice when the old frame is damaged or the opening is being reworked. The right one depends on the condition of the existing frame.

Yes. Most exterior and patio door work overlaps other scopes, so we coordinate it with siding, flooring, drywall, paint, windows and larger remodels when they share a wall or a schedule, instead of treating the door as a separate visit.

A same-size replacement is often simpler, but enlarging an opening, changing structure or a load-bearing header, altering the building envelope, or affecting egress, light, ventilation or fire and life-safety conditions can trigger permit or review. Permit needs depend on the actual scope, so we confirm it before ordering or opening the wall. This is general information, not legal advice.

Either the homeowner or the project. Doors and hardware can be owner-supplied or ordered through our suppliers, but the size, swing direction, lockset, threshold, lead time and who is responsible for a late, wrong or damaged unit should be clear before the old door comes out.

It is a possible condition, not a given. If the frame, jamb, threshold or sill turns out to be water-damaged once the old door comes off, we document and price the repair before closing it back up, so it is handled in the open rather than assumed up front.

Yes, and it is common. Doors and windows share walls, trim and flashing details and are often quoted together by suppliers, so window and door work is frequently handled in one scope. The window side is covered on our window replacement and installation page.

Yes. Patio sliders and French doors are heavier and wider than a standard entry door, so they can need a stronger header, more careful leveling, and more trim and siding work around the larger opening. The flashing and sill details still matter the same way they do on any exterior door.

Usually, yes. Interior doors have no weather sealing, flashing or exterior trim, so they are simpler and generally cheaper. The cost there comes from out-of-square openings, floor clearance over new flooring, and matching casing and hardware, not from water control.
