Doors
Exterior door replacement for homes and businesses in Cincinnati, with the frame, sill and seal done right.
A worn-out exterior door is easy to spot. You see daylight around the edges, feel a draft at the threshold, have to lift the door to get the deadbolt to latch, or find the bottom rail swollen from years of rain. On older houses around Bridgetown, Covedale and Delhi Township, the frame and sill often need as much attention as the door itself. We replace exterior doors for homes and businesses. First we measure the opening and check the sill, jambs and framing for rot or water damage. Then we remove the old door and set the new unit plumb and square. We flash and seal the sill, insulate the gaps, and adjust the hinges, strike and weatherstripping so the door closes and locks easily. Trim and caulk get finished inside and out. We talk through door styles and options with you before anything is ordered, and we give you a clear price up front. If you're also planning windows, siding or a roof, we can fit the door into the same project so the outside of the house comes together at once.

Common questions
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Sometimes. If the jambs and sill are solid and square, replacing only the door can work. If there's rot or the frame has shifted, a full unit with a new frame usually lasts longer, and we'll tell you which one fits after we look.
What warranty comes with door work?
We offer a lifetime workmanship warranty, which covers problems caused by how the work was installed. The door manufacturer's warranty is separate, and we'll go over both before we start.
Can you replace doors and windows in the same project?
Yes. Many customers do both at once so the trim, color and sealing match all the way around the house. Mention it when you contact us and we'll plan both together.
