Door Replacement Meridian ID

Most single door replacements take our team about 4-6 hours to complete. This includes removing the old door, preparing the opening, installing the new door, and cleaning up afterward. Larger projects like French doors or sliding glass doors might take a full day. Custom doors that need special sizing can add extra time. We always finish what we start in the same day unless unusual structural issues appear during installation.

Door replacement works well in spring and fall when Meridian temperatures are mild. Summer installations happen early in the day to avoid afternoon heat. Winter replacements are definitely possible with our special weather protection methods that keep your home warm during the process. We schedule year-round but book up quickly during fair weather months. Many homeowners prefer fall installation before holiday gatherings and winter weather hit.

Our huge selection includes traditional, craftsman, modern, rustic, and contemporary styles that match any Meridian home. We bring sample books showing dozens of door styles during our free consultation. Many customers browse our showroom to touch and feel different materials before deciding. Our design experts help match your new door with existing trim colors and architectural elements. We never push expensive options that clash with your home’s character.

Sometimes existing frames work perfectly with new doors, saving you money. Our inspection checks for level frames, rot, insect damage, and structural issues. Warped or damaged frames always need replacement for proper door operation. Changing door styles or sizes definitely requires new framing. Energy-efficient doors perform best with complete frame replacement that allows proper sealing and insulation. We explain your specific situation during our initial assessment.

Our doors exceed Idaho energy code requirements with ratings from R-5 to R-9 depending on materials. Steel and fiberglass options provide the best insulation values for Meridian’s climate. Proper weatherstripping and threshold seals prevent air leakage that wastes energy. Many customers report 15-20% drops in heating and cooling costs near entryways after our installations. Local energy companies sometimes offer rebates for certain high-efficiency door models we install.

Fiberglass and steel doors need almost no maintenance beyond occasional cleaning with soapy water. Wood doors benefit from resealing or refinishing every 3-5 years depending on sun exposure. Moving parts like hinges and locks might need light lubrication annually. Weather stripping typically lasts 5-7 years before needing replacement. We provide door-specific care instructions with every installation so you know exactly how to maintain your investment.

We can transfer your existing hardware to new doors if they’re in good condition and fit properly. Most customers upgrade to new matching handlesets, deadbolts, and hinges during replacement. We carry satin nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, matte black, and polished brass finishes that coordinate with home fixtures. Smart locks with keypad or phone control have become very popular among Meridian homeowners. Our installation includes proper alignment of all hardware components for smooth operation.

We haul away all old materials at no extra charge as part of our clean worksite promise. Many old doors get recycled or donated when possible. Wood doors often go to local building material reuse centers. Metal doors get recycled through specialized facilities. We never dump doors in landfills when alternatives exist. Some customers keep old doors for shed use or craft projects, which we’re happy to help with by leaving them in your garage or outbuilding.

Quality doors properly installed typically last 20-30 years in our local climate. Fiberglass and steel options often reach the longer end of that range. South and west-facing doors take more weather beating and might need replacement sooner. Regular maintenance extends lifespan significantly. Our installation methods account for Idaho’s temperature swings and moisture conditions. We stand behind our work with installation warranties beyond manufacturer guarantees to protect your investment over time.
