## The Door You Buy Matters Less Than the Hands That Hang It

Two identical doors, two installers: one entry still closes like a bank vault in fifteen years, the other drags, leaks and rots at the bottom in five. The difference was never the slab — it was the hour nobody watched: the frame set dead square, shims where the load lives, flashing lapped so water sheds out instead of in, sealant where sealant belongs. That hour is our specialty, because we're the company that spends the rest of the year repairing other people's shortcuts.
- Frame set square and plumb — the door swings true for decades
- Flashing and sill pan done right — water never reaches the wood
- Foam and perimeter sealing — no winter ribbon of cold air
- Hardware fitted and cycled, not just screwed on

## We Still Check the Repair Math Before You Spend Real Money

Replacement is the right call for some Garner doors — split slabs, frames crushed out of square, entries past their dignity. But the estimate visit starts with the repair check anyway: if your door's problem is a $475 frame rebuild or a $175 hardware fix, you'll hear that first, with prices. When replacement wins, you get a free written estimate for the real scope — no teaser number that grows on install day.
- Repair lines quoted first when they solve it: wood $475, hardware $175
- Free written replacement estimate — full scope, no teaser pricing
- Entry, patio and storm doors replaced and installed
- Old door and debris hauled off, opening left clean

## Door Replacement in Garner — FAQ

**Q: Our front door is original to the house and it's just tired. What does replacement actually involve?**

A: More than swapping slabs: the old unit comes out, the opening gets inspected (and any hidden rot handled while it's exposed), then the new frame is set dead square, shimmed at the load points, flashed so water sheds outward, foamed, sealed and finished with hardware fitted properly. That sequence — not the door brand — is what decides whether it still closes sweetly in fifteen years.

**Q: Why do you check for repairs when I already told you I want a new door?**

A: Because many 'replacement' doors we visit turn out to have a $175–$575 problem wearing a $10,000 disguise, and we'd rather lose an install than sell one that wasn't needed. It costs you five extra minutes at the estimate. If you still prefer replacement after seeing the repair number, that's a fully informed choice and we'll build you a great entry.

**Q: The last quote we got grew twice before install day. How is yours different?**

A: The estimate is written after we've actually examined your opening — including the frame and sill condition that surprises the teaser-price guys — so the scope is real from the start. If we open the wall and find something unforeseeable, you see it and approve it before work continues. No number games.

**Q: Patio sliders too, or just entry doors?**

A: Entry, patio and storm doors all replace through the same process. Sliders in particular are worth the repair check first — most 'dead' sliders just need rollers ($475) — but when the frame itself is done, we replace the unit and set the new track dead level so it glides for good.

**Q: Do you take the old door away?**

A: Always — old unit, packaging, offcuts and every screw swept off the porch. The only evidence we were there is a door that closes like it means it.

**Q: How fast can you do a replacement in Garner?**

A: Estimates book within days — Garner sits right on our Raleigh routes. Installation follows as soon as your door and materials arrive; most standard entries are one-day installs.
