Doubts
FAQ’s
What is the difference between a slab door and a pre-hung door?
A slab is just the door itself, while a pre-hung door comes already mounted in a brand-new frame with hinges and weatherstripping. For exterior replacements, we almost always recommend pre-hung doors to ensure the frame is perfectly square, properly insulated, and highly secure.
Are fiberglass doors better than wood or steel?
In Long Island’s humid, coastal climate, fiberglass is often the best choice. It mimics the beautiful look of real wood but won’t warp, rot, or expand from moisture, and it resists denting and rusting far better than a traditional steel door.
If my house has settled and the door frame isn't square, can you still install a new door?
Absolutely. This is exactly why you hire experienced builders instead of a big-box store. We expertly adjust the rough opening, shimming and framing the new door so it sits perfectly level and plumb, even if your older house is out of square.
How long does it take to install an exterior door?
A standard front entry or patio door replacement is highly efficient. Once your custom door arrives from the manufacturer, our team typically completes the removal, structural prep, installation, and trim work in a single day, ensuring your home is never left unsecured overnight.
Do you install sliding glass patio doors and French doors?
Yes! We install all types of exterior access points, including heavy-duty sliding patio doors, elegant French doors, and side-entry garage doors, ensuring they all feature high-security locks and energy-efficient insulated glass.
Do I need a permit to replace my front door in Long Island?
Generally, replacing a door within the exact same size opening does not require a building permit. However, if we are cutting a wider opening into an exterior wall (for example, to add sidelights or change a window into a large patio door), a permit is usually required. We will guide you through this process based on your specific town’s rules.
