Common questions
Should I replace the slab or the whole frame?
If the frame is square and solid, a slab may work. If there is rot, rust, water damage, or a bad threshold, a prehung door is usually cleaner.
Are door installers licensed in Texas?
Texas does not issue a general door installer license. Look for insurance, accurate measuring, weatherproofing details, and the right trade for lock, alarm, or electrical work.
Why does my exterior door stick?
Humidity, foundation movement, worn hinges, swollen wood, or a shifted frame can cause sticking. The installer checks alignment before recommending replacement.
Can you install a stronger front door?
Yes. A good security upgrade includes the door, frame, strike plate, long screws, deadbolt, and sometimes hinge reinforcement.
Do coastal doors rust faster?
Yes. Salt air eats hardware, steel skins, thresholds, and screws. Fiberglass doors and corrosion-resistant hardware often perform better near the bay or island.
Can you replace patio sliders?
Yes. Patio doors need careful measuring, sill sealing, roller adjustment, and drainage. Water leaks at the sill should be handled before trim goes back.
Can you paint the door too?
Usually. Some installers include primer and paint, while others coordinate with a painter. Exterior doors need all edges sealed to help prevent swelling.
