Door Installation in the Twin Cities — Including the Door You Already Bought

Prehung swaps, slabs fitted to existing jambs, French pairs, closet doors, storm doors and the house-to-garage fire door. Bring the door or have us supply it; either way it is hung square and it latches.

Big-box stores sell doors but do not install them well, and most remodelers will not come out for one door. That gap is where most of our door requests come from: a homeowner with a door in the garage and nobody to hang it. We do labor-only installs every week across the metro, and we supply the door when you would rather not shop.

Find the page that matches your door below. Each one lists what to buy, what we bring, and how long it takes.

Door Sweep Replacement & Exterior Door Weatherstripping

Dutch Door Installation — Prehung Dutch Doors and Split Slabs

Fit a Slab Door Into an Existing Jamb

Menards Door Installation — Labor Only, You Buy the Door
