California front doors or exterior doors are generally bulkier, which makes them more expensive and tougher to work with.

A great way to watch your door installation expense is to always budget for the door itself. Steel doors are just about the most common and effective entry doors to install, typically as front doors, garage doors, side doors or for privacy uses. Homeowners can get to be charged between $169 add $273 to install or restore a steel entry door.

What is a corner pad and where does it go on the front door unit in California?

Will my new California front door installation need a permit?

Every city has its very own permitting and enforcement policy. Before beginning any project, we will identify whether a permit becomes necessary and let you know. Though the service provider is responsible for “pulling” the permit, you are responsible for paying any kind of city-mandated fees.

How often does a wood door in California need to be refinished?

It all varies according to the door's contact with the weather and the kind of wood. A stained wood door has to be dealt with like a piece of furniture. When your door has been exposed to direct sunlight or precipitation, the finish has to be checked periodically for indications of fading and refinished as necessary. If your door is receiving a great deal of direct sun and precipitation, it's possible you have to refinish as frequently as 1-2 times a year. If your door gets no sun or rain, the finish should last years. We do propose wiping down your wood door with a furniture polish at least once per month to aid in maintaining the finish.
