Door Replacement - Free In-Home Measure, Written Price

Trusted Door Replacement Nationwide

Door replacement across the United States typically runs $350 to $1,800 installed for an interior or standard exterior door, with premium entry systems and sidelight units reaching $2,500 or more. Most single-door jobs finish in half a day, and a whole-house set of interior doors usually takes one to two days. At Westlight Windows & Doors, we’ve been replacing doors since 2009 as an independently owned and operated Kingswell location, and Owen Satterfield built the business on a simple idea: you get a written price before any work starts and a guarantee that still means something after we leave. Compare that with our front door replacement work and our full range of window and door services. Call (903) 354-7134 and a live person picks up, any hour, any day.

Key Takeaways

• Written pricing first: Your exact price is on paper before the old door comes off its hinges. No surprise add-ons at the threshold.
• 365-Day Done Right Promise: If the door sticks, leaks air, or doesn’t latch right within the guarantee period, we come back and fix it at no charge.
• Eight manufacturer lines: We install PGT, CGI, CWS, ES Windows, ECO Window Systems, Mr-Glass, Therma-Tru, and ViewLux products, matched to your opening instead of forcing one brand on every job.
• Live phone coverage 24/7: A real person answers, even when a door has been kicked in at 2 a.m.

Door Frame Repair

Door Frame Repair means fixing the jamb, header, or threshold around a door instead of tearing out the whole assembly. It is the right call when the door slab is fine but the frame has rotted at the bottom, split near the strike plate, or shifted so the door rubs and won’t latch. Most frame repairs run $150 to $600 depending on how much wood has to be cut out and rebuilt. Westlight Windows & Doors handles frame work as an independent Kingswell location, with background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive in the window we gave you. The Kingswell Guarantee covers it: written price, committed arrival window, clean job site, written guarantee.

Rot, Splits, and Forced Entry Damage

Water sitting at the bottom of an exterior jamb softens the wood from the inside out, and a screwdriver pushed into the paint will tell you how far it has gone. A door that has been kicked leaves a split jamb and a cracked strike area. We cut back to solid wood, rebuild with rot-resistant material, and reinforce the strike side so the lock bites into something that holds.

When the Frame Is Past Saving

Sometimes the honest answer is that the frame costs more to patch than to replace. If the rough opening is out of square or the rot has reached the studs, we will say so and price the full replacement in writing. You decide with real numbers in front of you.

Interior Door Replacement

Interior Door Replacement covers swapping the doors between rooms: bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, and pantries. People call about it when old hollow-core doors rattle, when a settled house has left doors that won’t close, or when a remodel calls for a cleaner look. Interior slabs usually run $150 to $450 installed, and prehung units with new jambs land closer to $300 to $750 each. Westlight Windows & Doors measures each opening, confirms the swing direction, and puts the full price in writing before ordering. A solid-core interior door also cuts hallway noise, which is why many customers pick it for bedrooms and home offices.

Hollow Core Versus Solid Core

Hollow-core doors are light and cheap, and they sound like cardboard when slammed. Solid-core doors weigh more, block more sound, and feel like part of the house. If you are replacing doors in a long hallway, we can price both so you see the difference before choosing.

Pocket and Barn Style Options

Tight bathrooms and narrow closets often work better with a pocket or surface-mounted sliding door. These need correct hardware and a flat, square opening to run smoothly, and we check both before we promise a result.

Interior Door Installation

Interior Door Installation is the work of hanging a new door so it swings freely, latches quietly, and sits with an even gap all the way around. Anyone can set a door in an opening, but getting a consistent reveal takes shimming, careful hinge mortises, and a plumb jamb. A single interior door installation typically runs $120 to $350 for labor on a prehung unit, not counting the door itself. Westlight Windows & Doors installs interior doors on new construction, remodels, and whole-house updates, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies to every one of them.

Prehung or Slab

A prehung door arrives already hinged inside its own jamb, which makes for the fastest and most accurate install. A slab is just the door, and it only makes sense when the existing frame is square and in good shape. We tell you which one fits your opening and why.

Trim and Finish Details

New doors rarely match old casing exactly. We patch gaps, set new trim where needed, and leave the area swept clean. Painting is easier when the door is prefinished, so ask us about that when you request your estimate.

Door Installers

Door Installers are the tradespeople who measure, hang, seal, and adjust doors so they perform for years instead of months. A good installer matters more than the door itself, because a premium slab hung out of plumb will drag, leak air, and wear out its hardware. Westlight Windows & Doors crews are background-checked and uniformed, and Owen Satterfield has overseen training since 2009 so every installer follows the same standards. You know exactly who is coming through your gate before they arrive.

What a Proper Install Includes

Correct flashing under an exterior sill, low-expansion foam in the gap, a level threshold, and weatherstripping that seals evenly. These details are invisible when done well and obvious when skipped, usually the first time it rains sideways.

Why Training Counts

Every installer on our team follows the same checklist: measure twice, confirm the swing, set the sill, shim to plumb, check the reveal, test the lock. That checklist is how the Kingswell Way shows up in your doorway.

Door Contractors

Door Contractors are companies that take on the whole job, from measuring and ordering to demolition, installation, and cleanup, rather than just selling you a slab and leaving you to find labor. Hiring one makes sense when you have several doors, a damaged frame, or an exterior opening that has to be weathertight by nightfall. Westlight Windows & Doors works as your door contractor from the first phone call, and our price covers the door, labor, hauling away the old one, and the written guarantee. Whole-house packages of five to ten doors usually run $2,000 to $9,000 depending on style and material.

How to Compare Bids

Ask every contractor whether the quote includes trim, hardware, haul-away, and the warranty in writing. A low number that leaves those out is not low at all. Our estimate itemizes each line so you can compare honestly.

Matching Product to Your Home

With eight manufacturer lines, including impact-rated PGT and CGI and Therma-Tru for entry doors, we can match the product to your climate and budget. A coastal home and a mountain cabin need different doors, and we price them that way.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• The door sticks, drags, or won’t latch. A door that rubs usually means the frame has shifted or the hinges have sagged. Forcing it wears the hardware and makes the problem worse.
• You can see daylight around the edges. Light at the bottom or sides means air and water are getting in as well. Your heating and cooling bills pay for every gap.
• Soft, dark, or crumbling wood at the bottom. This is rot, and it spreads into the sill and wall below. The longer it goes, the larger the repair.
• The lock is loose or the strike area is cracked. A damaged door is a security problem. Call right away if someone has tried to force it.
• The surface is warped, bubbled, or delaminating. Moisture has gotten into the core. It will not flatten back out.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Call and talk to a real person. When you call (903) 354-7134, a live person answers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We ask which doors you have, what’s wrong, and book a visit in an arrival window that works for you.
2. 2
   We show up and measure. A background-checked, uniformed technician measures every opening and checks the frame, sill, and flashing. No diagnostic fee games, no pressure.
3. 3
   You get a written price before any work. The estimate itemizes the door, hardware, trim, and labor. The price on the paper is the price you pay.
4. 4
   Installation done right. Our crew removes the old door, sets the new one plumb and sealed, tests the lock and swing, hauls away the old door, and cleans up.
5. 5
   365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything isn’t right within the guarantee period, call us. We come back and fix it at no charge, in writing, as we have since Owen Satterfield founded the company in 2009.
