Doors add style and security to homes in the Birmingham, AL area while also providing an extra layer of protection against the elements and intruders. But as one of the most heavily used components of any home, entry and patio doors need to stand up to a lot more than just regular wear and tear.
Door Frame Installation
Door installation is a complex task that requires proper labor practices to ensure safety, durability, and aesthetic integrity. It also impacts energy efficiency by insulating the home and keeping cold air from escaping. By following best practices, contractors can deliver results that meet or exceed expectations.
While the front door is a major focal point that adds curb appeal and enhances security, the back and interior doors are responsible for protecting the interior from moisture, noise, and pests. Durable entry doors are crafted with many panel configurations, glass options, wood grain patterns, and finishes to complement your design style. They feature an integrated frame for added strength that resists impacts, small dings, and the elements. Combined with Low-E multi-pane glass, these doors create unparalleled thermal barriers that improve your energy efficiency.
A door does not attach directly to the wall; it is installed within a door frame that provides stability, structural support, and alignment. A quality door can withstand years of weathering and wear and tear, but it cannot do so without a sturdy frame.
The cost of installing a door frame depends on the type of material selected and whether an existing opening or drywall needs to be modified. In addition, the size of a new doorframe may require re-framing, which can add $250 or more to your overall project costs. By using best practices, such as accurate measurements, high-quality materials for both the frame and installation supplies, and conducting quality checks throughout the project, contractors can minimize these additional costs.
Preparation
Doors are not only stylish portals into a home, but they also play large roles in both curb appeal and security. Quality exterior doors are crafted with durable materials, sturdy frames, and Low-E glass for insulation and energy efficiency. They are designed to perform well, offering protection from the elements and intruders alike. However, they can suffer from wear and tear over time, and they may need replacement as a result. When that is the case, it’s important to have a reliable installer to replace your new door and ensure that it is properly installed. That’s where our professional installation services come in.
