Quality Entry Doors, Interior Doors & Patio Doors
Door installation runs $600-$1,400 per door for individual swaps (entry, interior, patio), $2,500-$8,000 for premium entry-door systems with sidelights and transoms, and $5,000-$14,000 for full-home door packages. Pre-hung steel and fiberglass entry doors are the most common Title 24-compliant choices for new entries; replacement-only swaps usually keep the existing frame.
Door installs run $600-$14,000 depending on door count and entry-system grade. Material options include fiberglass (most popular for entries, low maintenance, paintable), steel (good security at the entry), wood (premium look, requires regular sealing in California sun), and glass (patio sliders and French doors). Trusted manufacturers: Therma-Tru, Pella, Andersen, Masonite. Permits typically required for any door cutting a new opening or changing the structural rough opening. The pre-hung slab vs. existing-frame swap decision happens up front: replacing just the slab in an existing frame is cheaper and faster but only works if the existing jamb is plumb and the threshold is sound; pre-hung replacement (slab + frame + threshold as one unit) is the right call when the original frame moved or the threshold rotted. We measure both before quoting. Sweep, weatherstrip, and threshold sized to the actual gap - most drafty entry doors aren't bad doors, they're good doors with the wrong weatherstrip. Multi-point lock or reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws into the framing stud (not the jamb) on entry doors so kick-in attempts hit framing, not finish trim.
