Door Installation & Repair in Draper, UT

Yes. We diagnose whether the cause is a sagging hinge, a misaligned strike, or a frame that has shifted with settling, then adjust, shim, or rehang so the door closes cleanly without forcing the opening.

We install pocket doors within existing non-structural openings and finish the casing and hardware. Any opening that would require altering structure is outside our R101 scope and referred to the proper trade.

Yes. We can swap interior slabs or prehung units across a level or the whole home, matching style and hardware, with casing finished and the work scoped and priced room by room.

Door installation is usually priced per door, and the unit itself drives most of the cost. A pre-hung interior door swap is the least expensive; solid-core, barn, French, or exterior doors cost more because of the slab, hardware, and weatherstripping. Labor depends on whether we reuse the existing opening or rebuild the jamb and trim. Painting, new handlesets, and matching existing trim are separate line items. We give a fixed written quote per door after measuring, so the number reflects your actual openings.

A door installation quote typically covers removing the old door, setting and shimming the new unit plumb and square, fastening the jamb, installing the strike and hardware, and re-trimming the opening. We list the door type, hardware, hinge count, swing direction, and whether casing or trim is matched to your home. Paint, stain, specialty hardware, and disposal are called out as their own lines so nothing is hidden, and anything outside finishing scope is flagged up front.

Most single-door installs are completed in a few hours, and a straightforward repair like a sticking door, a bad strike, or worn hinges is often same-visit. Replacing several interior doors usually fits in a day; exterior doors take longer because of weatherstripping, threshold, and sealing. Timing stretches when an opening needs the jamb rebuilt, the floor is out of level, or paint and stain need to cure between coats. Your written quote includes a realistic schedule for your specific doors.

Cutting a brand-new opening into an exterior or load-bearing wall, or into a foundation, is structural work outside our R101 finishing license, so we refer that to the right licensed structural and concrete trades. We handle non-structural door work: replacing doors in existing openings, hanging interior and pre-hung doors, repairs, hardware, trim, and finishing. If you're adding a basement egress, we coordinate around the trade who creates the opening and finish the door and trim once the structure is done.

A door that sticks, drags, or won't latch is usually a repair, not a replacement, and fixing it is almost always cheaper. Common causes are loose or worn hinges, a misaligned strike plate, settling that's thrown the jamb out of plumb, swelling from humidity, or paint buildup on the edges. We diagnose the actual cause first and quote the smallest fix that solves it, recommending full replacement only when the slab or jamb is damaged beyond a reliable repair.
