Front Door Replacement In Harvest, AL

The cost to replace your front door is going to vary greatly depending on what type of new door you select, the material of the door, how many panels or transoms, the brand or manufacturer, the size of your door, and the different features you may select when configuring your new front door unit. The main driving factors that dictate what your new door will cost is the size of your door and the building material of the new door.

On average, a single-panel fiberglass door can cost between $2000 and $6000, a single-panel steel door can cost between $1,500 and $4,000, and a single-panel wood door can cost between $5,000 and $10,000.

Front entry doors are a bit different from replacement windows because the majority of door sizes are pretty standard. When replacing your front door, it’s ideal to order a standard-size door if possible. This will substantially save on cost, and they are readily available.

Depending on the manufacturer, some may offer standard size 8’ tall doors. However, there are usually fewer styles available.

If you currently have a transom or sidelite as a part of your front entry door unit, you have a few options. The first is to replace your front door unit with the same configuration that it currently has. Doors are built as units, meaning the transom/sidelights are a part of the same frame as the door slab, so they should not be individually replaced. A second option is to change the configuration of your new door unit within the rough opening. This could include opting for a taller door instead of a transom or a double door if the opening allows.

If you currently have a storm door, you have some options for installation. You could purchase a new storm door that’s ordered specifically for your new door unit or choose to reinstall your existing storm door.
