Storm Door Replacement and Installation — Storm Door Supplied
The old storm door sags, the closer is shot and the glass rattles. We measure, order the new one, fix the trim it hangs on, and leave it closing on its own.
JMB Builders does storm door replacement across the Twin Cities metro with the door included. We measure the opening, order a storm door in the right size, hinge side and style, remove the old one, repair or replace rotted brickmould so the new frame has something solid to mount to, then install it with the closer, latch and sweep adjusted. Priced per door, quoted from photos within one business day.

A storm door is only as good as the brickmould it hangs on. Most old storm doors come off a frame that has pulled loose or rotted at the bottom, with a closer that slams and a sweep that no longer touches the sill. Hanging a new one on that trim means it sags in a year.
Full service means you pick the style — full-view glass, ventilating with a sliding glass panel, or one with a retractable screen — and we measure the opening, check which side it should hinge on, and order a door that fits. Storm doors come in standard widths and heights, and the opening has to be within a narrow range for the frame to mount; we check that before ordering, not on install day.
Install day is the old door off, the brickmould checked, and soft sections replaced before anything gets mounted. The hinge-side Z-bar is cut and set plumb, the door hung, the top and latch-side rails set, the sweep fit to the sill, and the closer and wind chain adjusted so it shuts without slamming. If you already bought a storm door, see our labor-only storm door page.

- Brickmould repair or replacement before the door can be mounted
- Hardware: a basic handle and closer vs. a keyed handle set and deadbolt
- Removing an old storm door that was screwed or glued in hard
- Painting repaired trim, quoted as a separate line

Situations and options
Full-view storm door
One large glass panel, swapped for a screen panel in summer. Shows off the entry door behind it.
Ventilating storm door
Glass that slides down to open a screen at the top, so there is no panel to swap. A common pick for a back door that gets used every day.
Retractable screen storm door
A screen that rolls up into the top rail when the glass is closed and pulls down when the glass is lowered. No stored screen panel to keep track of.
Storm door on a dark entry door
A storm door over a dark door in full sun can trap heat against it. We point that out from the photos so you can check the entry door maker's guidance before ordering.
Storm Door Replacement and Installation — Storm Door Supplied: questions, answered
Do you supply the storm door or do I buy it?
We supply it. You pick the style and color, we measure the opening and order a door that fits, and the storm door is a line on the quote. If you already bought one, we install it and price it as labor only.
Why does the brickmould matter for a storm door?
The storm door's frame screws to the face of the brickmould around the entry door. If that trim is loose, split or rotted, the frame will not hold plumb and the door sags or binds. We repair or replace the brickmould before the new door goes on.
Will a storm door fit my front door opening?
Most storm doors are made in standard sizes that fit common entry doors, with a frame that adjusts a small amount. If your opening is outside that range, it takes a build-out strip or a special-size door. We check it from the measurements before anything is ordered.
Can a storm door damage my front door?
On a dark entry door in full sun, the space between the doors can get hot enough to warp some doors or finishes. Many entry door makers give guidance about this. We point it out from your photos so you can check before ordering.
How long does storm door installation take?
Two to three hours for one storm door on sound brickmould. Brickmould repair adds time. The door is ordered after you approve the quote, and we schedule the install once it arrives.
Why does my storm door slam or not close?
Usually the closer has lost pressure or was never adjusted, or the frame was mounted out of plumb so the door binds. We set the closer speed and the wind chain on every new storm door so it closes on its own without slamming.
