Door Installation Knoxville, TN

The time varies based on the door type. A simple interior door might take 2-3 hours. An exterior door could take 4-6 hours. Complex doors like French or sliding doors might need a full day. We always give a time estimate before we start. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.

Not always. If your frame is in good shape, we can often fit a new door to it. This is called a “door slab replacement.” It’s quicker and costs less. But if the frame is damaged or warped, replacing both is better. We’ll check your frame and give honest advice about what’s best for your home.

Yes, we can. But we recommend caution with this approach. Doors bought elsewhere might not fit right. They could lack proper insulation for Knoxville’s climate. There might also be warranty issues.

Often, yes. Old doors can let air leak in and out. This makes your heating and cooling systems work harder. A new, well-installed door acts like a barrier. It keeps your treated air inside where you want it. Energy-efficient doors can lead to noticeable savings on your utility bills. The amount you save depends on your old door’s condition and the new door’s features.

Clear the area around the door, inside and out. Remove any decorations or furniture near the door. If it’s an exterior door, plan for temperature changes during installation. Have a way to secure pets away from the work area. If you have a security system, let your provider know about the installation. We’ll handle the rest!

Knoxville has hot summers and chilly winters. Fiberglass and steel doors often work well here. They resist warping from humidity changes. They also provide good insulation.

Absolutely! We offer several security upgrades during installation. We can add extra-strong strike plates. We might suggest reinforced hinges. High-security deadbolts are another option.

With proper care, a good door can last 20-30 years or more. The lifespan depends on the door material, quality, and how well it’s maintained. Wood doors might need refinishing every few years. Steel and fiberglass doors are more low-maintenance. We’ll give you care instructions for your specific door to help it last as long as possible.
