About Our Memphis Front Door Replacement Service

There's much to consider about front door replacement in Memphis, TN. Questions such as whether to replace the frame, if repair is a better option, and what style of new door to choose are common. One call to our valued team can help sort through the confusion, delivering a smooth, stress-free experience that comes with a wide range of benefits. 

If you think that installing a new door is all about looks and safety, you're right, but there are a few more benefits that come with the service. Being more energy efficient is one, and protection from pests and drafts is another. Damaged front doors can have gaps that pose a threat to the safety, comfort, and energy efficiency of your house. Replacing your door is the one-and-done solution to prevent this. So, how does our process work?

Depending on the door you've chosen and if we're replacing the frame as well, our process will be carried out slightly differently. There are many types of front door styles to choose from, including:

• Barn doors
• Traditional
• Traditional with glass
• Modern
• Wood paneled
• Craftsman
• Arched Top
• And More!

There are also varying materials your front door can be made from, including wood, steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and PVC. In Memphis, the most common is wood. When choosing wood,  you'll pick from solid wood, solid core, and hollow core doors, each one a little lighter, less durable, and less costly than the next.

Once you've chosen which type of door you would like installed and your preferred hardware options, we'll get to work. If you are replacing your old door with one of the same style, the replacement process will be quick. This holds true, especially for those who are not replacing the frame. If you are replacing the frame and installing a pre-hung door, the installation process will involve several steps.

The first? Preparing the door opening. Your new door will need to be the correct size to fit your existing door frame, so it's important that we take measurements and test-fit the new door in the entranceway. Next, we'll need to center the door, check the door jamb, cut the shims, install the hinges, and anchor the molding to the wall. It's important that your door be free from gaps, so next, we'll caulk around the edges and install a new knob and lock. 

Other door replacement services include fewer or more steps depending on the type of door we're installing. Call our team today to learn more about the process of installing your preferred style of door.

FAQs About Front Door Replacement in Memphis, TN

When Should I Call a Professional For Front Door Replacement in Memphis, TN?

If your front door is protected with an overhang, you can get up to 30 years from it. If not, you can expect about 20. With that said, if you neglect to repair your door when it needs it, you could be replacing it a lot earlier. If at any time you notice the following signs, you may need to replace your door.

• Your door is difficult to open and close. If your door doesn't open or shut easily, it may have swollen, the hinges may be broken, or the frame may have warped. Proper movement is integral for any door, so this is one issue you'll want dealt with right away and one that will only continue to get worse.
• There is water or pest damage. If a family of termites has moved into your front door, they're going to make it their feast for the foreseeable future. Holes caused by pests can lower the durability of your door, causing it to crumble or become damaged with holes. These holes will lower your home's energy efficiency and increase heating and cooling costs.
• It is damaged, rusty, or warped. Damage can be present in many forms when it comes to front doors. From warping and dents to cracks and chips, if your front door looks like it's served as a barrier in a disaster zone, it's time to replace it. A new door will be more durable, open and close more smoothly, and help regulate the temperature inside your home.

Can You Replace the Front Door Without Replacing the Frame?

You can definitely replace a front door without replacing the frame, but this is most common with doors that have sustained premature damage or those covered by an overhang. Why? Because the frame of your door is exposed to the same elements as your door is, which means if your door is warped or has rotten wood, cracks, or dents, there's a good chance the frame is too. 

How Long Does it Take a Professional to Replace a Front Door?

This depends on the style of your front door and if the installer is also replacing the frame or needs to make any repairs to it. In general, you can expect a door replacement to take anywhere from 2–4 hours. 

Is a New Front Door a Good Investment?

There may come a day when you want to sell your home. The potential buyers will walk through the front door, and what will their first impression be? A creaky door that doesn't open all the way and has multiple dents and scratches? Or a sleek modern style that glides smoothly and locks securely without a hitch? 

Front door replacement has a 75% potential return on investment. That means you'll get about 75% of what you initially paid for it back in the form of increased home value.
