Good Questions

Door Installation FAQs

Should I repair or replace my door?

If the frame is solid but the door is drafty, worn, or hard to lock, repair or weatherstripping may be enough. If the frame is rotted, warped, or the door won’t seal properly, full replacement is usually the better long-term fix. We’ll give you an honest recommendation during your estimate.

What door material holds up best in Chicago's weather?

Fiberglass and steel entry doors handle Chicago’s temperature swings and moisture best — they won’t warp or rot like wood and hold paint and finish longer. We’ll help you pick the right material and glass package for your entryway.

Do I need a permit for a door replacement in Chicago?

Like-for-like door replacements in the same opening are typically permit-exempt. If we’re resizing the opening or changing structural framing, we’ll pull the required permit and handle the inspection.

How long does a door installation take?

Most entry, patio, or storm door installations are completed in a single day. Jobs that involve reframing an out-of-square or non-standard Chicago bungalow opening can take a bit longer.

Can you match a door to my historic Chicago home?

Yes — bungalows, greystones, and two-flats often have non-standard door openings and trim profiles. We measure carefully and can source styles that match your home’s original character.

Will a new door really lower my energy bills?

Yes — replacing a drafty or poorly sealed door with a properly insulated, weatherstripped one cuts the air leaks that make your furnace and AC work harder, especially around entryways exposed to Chicago wind.

Do you install storm doors along with entry doors?

Yes — storm doors add an extra layer of weather protection and ventilation and can be installed alongside a new entry door or on their own.
