Door Replacement and Door Installation Services

Once an order is placed, changing the style, the swing direction, or the hardware means placing a new order, since the door has already been made to those exact specifications. We're glad to walk through those choices carefully before you order so this doesn't come up later. If you're still deciding between a couple of styles, tell us before the order goes in and we'll help you land on the right one.

A C-61/D28 classification is a limited specialty license the California Contractors State License Board issues specifically for doors, gates, and activating devices, which is the exact classification Bryan holds. It means the license covers door work specifically, not general contracting that happens to include doors on the side. California limits how much unlicensed contracting work can legally be done before a license is required, so hiring a license holder for door work carries real accountability behind it.

Not exactly. Manufacturers back both material types with a material warranty that typically runs five to ten years depending on the product, and wood doors carry published conditions such as finishing on all sides and having adequate overhang to stay protected. Bryan factors those conditions into which material he recommends, since an exposed opening calls for a different material than a sheltered one.

New hardware installation is standard on every project, and we match the hinges and lockset for color and finish as part of that. Most homeowners choose and purchase their own hardware, and we install it, though we can also source hardware for you on request. If your old door has alarm contacts, we move them over to the new door as part of the same visit.

Yes. We install storm doors and screen doors as part of our exterior door work, and we can talk through a security door for the same opening at the same visit. It's not the largest part of what we do, but it's available if that's part of your plan for the entry.

We can install a door you've already bought. Before we do, we check it against the opening ourselves, because when a door is purchased without an in-person measurement, the fit risk sits with whoever bought it, not with the installer. If it does fit, we install it like any other door; if it doesn't, that's a conversation about your options before any work starts, not something we quietly work around.

We do both, but exterior work makes up about 85 percent of what we do, with interior replacement at roughly 15 percent. That's simply where the demand runs on the Peninsula, not a limit on what we'll take on. If you're planning a new interior door, we treat the same measurement and material questions with just as much care as an exterior job.

Yes, that's a configuration change we handle regularly. Barn doors and closet doors are both installations we do, and when you're switching from one style to another, we look at the opening and the existing jamb condition first, the same way we would for any interior door change. What we find there determines whether it's a straightforward swap or something that needs more work at the opening.
