Door Installation & Repair in Sandy, UT

Yes. We diagnose why it binds, usually alignment, worn hinges, or a strike that no longer meets the latch, and correct it so the door closes cleanly. Small door problems are exactly the kind of finish detail we make right.

We install pre-hung and slab interior doors within existing openings, fit handles, hinges, and latches, and finish the trim so the door looks and operates like it belongs in the room.

We aim for consistency in style, finish, and hardware so replacements blend with the rest of the home. We will confirm the match with you before installing so the doors read as one cohesive set.

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.
