For a door replacement quote from photos, send JMB Builders five shots of the one door: the whole door from inside and from outside, a close-up of the sill and the bottom of the frame, the hinge side from inside, and a tape across the slab. We reply within one business day with a per-door quote, frame included, and measure in person before ordering. Or book a free in-home estimate. Twin Cities metro; one door is a welcome job.
- Five photos: inside, outside, sill, hinges, tape
- Reply within one business day, or free estimate
- Priced per door, prehung frame included
One door is the easiest job in the house to quote from photos, because almost everything that sets the price is visible: the door's size and style, the sill, the siding around it, the trim inside, and what it opens onto. Five pictures tell us most of what a visit would. We reply within one business day with a quote priced per door, the prehung door and frame included, with rot repair, trim and hardware as their own lines so you can see each.
The five shots: the whole door from outside, standing back far enough to see the siding and the step; the whole door from inside, showing the casing and the floor; a close-up of the sill, threshold and the bottom corners of the frame, where rot lives; the hinge side from inside, which tells us the swing; and a tape measure across the slab so we know whether a stock size fits. Add a photo of any sidelite or storm door. Text them or send them through the form.
The photos get you the quote. The measure gets the order right: before anything is ordered, we measure the opening, swing and jamb depth in person. If a plain door in a common size fits, it is often in stock and goes in soon after. Glass, color, a sidelite or an odd size is custom ordered with the lead time written on the quote. If you would rather we look first, the in-home estimate is free and always offered.

What you supply
- Five photos: outside whole door, inside whole door, sill close-up, hinge side from inside, tape across the slab
- A photo of any sidelite, transom or storm door, and of the floor just inside the door
- What you want: style, glass, color and hardware, or ask for the in-stock option
- Your city, so the quote can note whether a permit applies for that address
What JMB supplies
- A reply within one business day with a per-door quote, door and frame included
- Rot repair, trim, hardware and painting listed as their own lines
- A note on the quote of whether the door is in stock or custom ordered, with the lead time
- An in-person measure of the opening, swing and jamb depth before the order
- The prehung door with frame, through ABC Supply
- Removal, sill pan, flashing, install, trim and hardware as on any door job
- Photos of the finished door in your job folder
How it is priced: per door
Quoted in writing from your photos, with a reply within one business day. What moves the number:
- The door: steel or fiberglass, glass, sidelite, primed or factory finished
- In stock in a common size vs. custom ordered
- What the sill close-up shows: sound, or rot to be cut out and replaced
- Siding, stucco or brick around the opening, seen in the outside shot
- Interior casing kept, matched or replaced, seen in the inside shot
- Hardware: a basic lockset vs. a handleset or smart lock
- Painting the door and trim, quoted as a separate line
The sill close-up is the photo that matters most. If it shows soft wood or a loose threshold, the quote includes a repair line from what we can see, confirmed when the old door is out.
How long it takes
Reply within one business day of your photos. Then the measure, the order, and about a day on site for the install. An in-stock door goes in soon after the measure; a custom ordered door has its lead time on the quote.

One Door Quoted From Your Photos: questions, answered
What photos do I need for a door replacement quote?
Five: the whole door from outside, the whole door from inside, a close-up of the sill and the bottom of the frame, the hinge side from inside, and a tape across the slab. Add a shot of any sidelite or storm door. JMB Builders replies within one business day with a per-door quote, frame included.
Can you quote a door without coming to the house?
Yes, from the photos, and that quote is what you decide on. The opening is then measured in person before the door is ordered, because a prehung door is ordered to the rough opening, swing and jamb depth, and those are checked with a tape, not a photo. The free in-home estimate is always available if you would rather start with a visit.
Does the photo quote change after the measure?
Rarely for the door itself. It can change if the measure finds something the photos did not show, such as rot deeper than the sill, or a size between stock sizes that makes the door a custom order. Either way you see the change before anything is ordered.
Can I send photos for one door by text?
Yes. Text the five shots with your address and what you want, or use the form and pick the door type. We reply within one business day either way. One door is a welcome job.
Will the quote tell me if the door is in stock?
Yes. The quote says whether the door you picked is in stock at our supplier or custom ordered, and if custom, the lead time is written on it. A plain steel or smooth fiberglass door in a common size is often in stock; glass, color, sidelites and odd sizes are custom.
What does the quote for one door include?
The prehung door and frame as one line, then rot repair, interior and exterior trim, hardware and painting as their own lines, so you can see what is the door and what is the opening. Licensed MN residential building contractor BC809005; paid by check or direct deposit.
