Understanding Your Calculator Results

Your door cost calculator results show a range, not a single number. That's intentional. Door replacement cost varies based on details we can only confirm when we're standing at your door with a tape measure and can see the actual condition of the opening.

Why ranges widen: Selecting "not sure" on configuration or glass options means the calculator accounts for multiple possibilities. More unknowns = wider range.

What the measurement visit confirms:

Exact opening dimensions

Frame and jamb condition

Whether your chosen configuration actually fits the space

Access details—porch depth, steps, how much room you have on the inside

Ballpark ≠ final price. The range gives you a realistic starting point for budgeting. After we measure and inspect, you'll get a detailed proposal with confirmed pricing.

Door Replacement Cost by Door Type

Entry Doors

Entry door replacement cost varies based on configuration. A single door costs less than a double entry setup. Adding sidelites (the narrow glass panels beside the door) or a transom (the window above) increases both materials and labor.

Patio Doors

Patio door replacement cost depends heavily on style and size. Sliding patio door replacement cost tends to run lower than french patio door replacement cost because sliders have simpler mechanisms—fewer hinges, no swing clearance to worry about. Wider openings and setups with more panels push the range higher.

Storm Doors

Storm door replacement cost is typically the most budget-friendly door project. We see a lot of homeowners add a storm door when they're replacing their entry door—it's an easy add-on that gives you extra weather protection and lets you open the main door for airflow without bugs getting in.

Door replacement cost depends on the type of door, configuration, glass options, and what shape your existing opening is in. We put together this calculator to give you a ballpark range before we come out to measure.

WHAT DOES DOOR REPLACEMENT COST ACTUALLY COVER?

When you see an exterior door replacement cost estimate, it covers more than just the door itself. You're paying for the complete unit—door slab, frame, weatherstripping (the seal around the edges), threshold (the piece at the bottom), and hardware—plus the labor to remove your old door and install the new one properly.
The cost to replace an exterior door also includes hauling away your old door, basic trim work, and the final adjustments we make to ensure everything operates smoothly and seals tight against weather.

What's built into door replacement cost:

Door unit — slab, frame, weatherstripping, threshold

Hardware — handles, locks, hinges

Installation labor — removal, fitting, sealing

Disposal — hauling away old door and materials

Basic trim — interior and exterior casing

Final adjustments — alignment, hardware check, weatherseal test

Opening condition matters. If your frame has rot or the opening has shifted out of square (meaning the corners aren't 90 degrees anymore), we'll need additional prep work before the new door goes in. That affects the final scope.

What Changes Door Replacement Cost the Most?

Several factors push your exterior door replacement cost from the low end of the range toward the high end. Here's what makes the biggest difference:

Door type → Entry, patio, and storm doors each have different baseline costs and labor requirements.

Configuration → Double front door replacement cost runs higher than single doors. Door replacement cost with sidelights adds glass panels and wider framing.

Glass inserts → Standard inserts vs decorative options. Textured, beveled, or privacy glass increases materials cost.

Decorative glass → Specialty patterns, wrought iron inserts, or custom designs add to the total.

Storm door add-on → Bundling a storm door with your entry door project adds cost but improves weather protection.

Opening condition → Same-size replacement is straightforward—the new door drops into the existing rough opening. Resizing (making it wider or taller) means framing work before the door even goes in.

Frame condition → Rot repair, structural fixes, or squaring up a shifted opening all require additional labor. We don't know the full picture until we pull the old door out and see what's behind it.

Access and trim → Brickmould replacement, porch depth, steps, or custom trim work can affect installation complexity.

What's Typically Included vs What May Add Cost

Knowing what's included in a standard door replacement cost estimate helps you compare apples to apples when you're looking at numbers.

Typically Included	May Add Cost
Door unit, frame, and standard hardware Weatherstripping and threshold Installation labor Removal and disposal of old door Basic interior and exterior trim work Final adjustments and hardware check	Frame rot repair or structural fixes Resizing the opening (wider, taller, or non-standard) Custom sizing or unusual dimensions Decorative or specialty glass upgrades Complex trim work or brickmould replacement Storm door add-on

The cost to replace an exterior door stays predictable when the opening is in good shape. Hidden issues—rot behind the trim, or settlement where the house has shifted over time—can change the scope once we get in there and see what we're working with.
