Hiring an Entry Door Contractor

Renovators Place Columnist
Oct 08, 2009

Your home's entry door is an important investment as it will set the tone for the house. Don't skimp when hiring a contractor to install the door. By trying to save a few dollars or hiring someone too quickly you could end up with plenty of aggravation.

Contractor Resources

There are many ways to find a contractor, including searching through web sites and asking friends and neighbors. Look for a contractor who has carpentry experience, as those skills are an integral part of installing a door.

Enlist Contractor's Help Early

Ideally, you should find a contractor before you buy the door. This way the contractor can give you advice about what style looks best on your home and whether one type of door is more difficult to install. The contractor also might get you a discount when placing the order.

Doors and Old Houses

Adding a door on an old house can be particularly challenging, as the house likely has settled over the years. In this scenario, it is important to find a contractor who knows how to make the door level and plumb. This often involves plenty of measuring, plus a few rounds of hanging the door, shaving off some areas or adding shims to fill gaps, and re-hanging it again. Look for someone who can laugh about this often tedious process and who will not cut corners.

Hanging an entry door is not as easy as it sounds, as there are several steps necessary to ensuring it fits properly. Look for a contractor who will take the time to do it right - and who will take pride in the end result.
