Install Doors That Fit and Function Correctly

Reliable door installation services for homes in Durango, Colorado.

When a door in your Durango home does not close properly, sticks in the frame, or lets cold air through the gaps, replacing it solves the problem and improves both security and insulation. You need doors that swing smoothly, latch without forcing, and seal tightly against weather. Hase Home Remodeling and Renovations LLC removes your old door and installs a new one that fits the opening, operates correctly, and matches your home's style.

Door installation involves measuring the existing opening, selecting a door that suits your needs whether interior, exterior, sliding, or French style, and removing the old unit along with its frame if necessary. The crew checks the rough opening for level and plumb, makes adjustments to the framing, and installs the new door with proper clearances and weather stripping. Hardware such as handles, locks, and hinges are attached and adjusted so the door operates without binding or gaps.

How Door Installation Works From Start to Finish

Your door install in Durango begins with choosing the right door for the location, whether that means a solid wood exterior door for insulation and security, a hollow-core interior door for closets, or a glass panel door for natural light. The crew removes the old door and frame, inspects the rough opening for rot or structural issues, and makes any needed repairs before the new door is set in place.

After installation, you will notice the door closes smoothly without scraping the floor or jamb, the latch engages securely without effort, and no light or air leaks through the edges. The threshold sits flush with the floor, and the door swings evenly on its hinges without sagging.

The final steps include installing trim around the door frame, caulking the exterior perimeter for weather resistance, and adjusting the strike plate so the lock functions properly. If you are replacing an exterior door, the crew ensures the weather stripping creates a complete seal to prevent drafts and moisture infiltration. The service does not include painting or staining the door unless specifically requested.

Common Concerns About Installing a New Door

Homeowners in Durango often have questions about timing, door types, and what the installation process involves, so here are answers to help you prepare.

How long does a door installation take?
Most single door installations take three to five hours, including removal of the old door, any framing adjustments, installation of the new unit, and hardware setup. Exterior doors with complex weather sealing or custom sizes may take longer.
What type of door should I choose for my front entrance?
A solid wood or insulated steel door works well for exterior entrances in Durango because it resists cold, provides security, and reduces noise. Fiberglass is another option that resists moisture and requires less maintenance than wood.
When should I replace a door instead of adjusting it?
You should replace a door when it is warped, cracked, or rotting, when the frame is out of square and cannot be repaired, or when the door no longer provides adequate insulation or security. Minor sticking or hardware issues can often be fixed without replacement.
Will the new door match my existing trim and style?

Yes, you can choose doors in various styles, finishes, and panel configurations to match or complement your home's interior and exterior design. Hase Home Remodeling and Renovations LLC helps you select a door that fits your aesthetic and functional needs.

Do I need to be home during the installation?
Yes, especially for exterior door installations, because the opening will be temporarily exposed during the work. You should plan to be home or have someone available to secure the property and answer any questions the crew may have.
