Tips on Choosing a Door Replacement Company

Looking to refresh the exterior of your home this spring? Installing a new door can pay for itself by increasing the value of your home. However, door installation can be more complicated than it seems, so selecting the right company is important. When you begin looking for a door replacement company, you want to make sure you choose a company who can perform the work you need, before you make an appointment for an in-home estimate.

Set Your Budget and Know What You Want

Before you make any decisions on which door replacement company you will use, set some guidelines around how much you can spend and what kind of product you would like to use. Doors can come in materials such as steel, wood, or fiberglass, and each material can affect your overall cost. A good door replacement company will be able to advise you on the right door for your home. They will be able to use their expertise to suggest styles, colors, and materials.

Research the Door Replacement Company’s History

There’s a reason why companies with twenty or more years of experience are still thriving in their industry. Why? Companies that have been in an industry a long time usually produce better work and have happier customers. Use sites like Angie’s List and the Better Business Bureau to ensure you choose a reputable company that has a history of quality performance.

Find a contractor willing to work with your wants and needs. Your home is a reflection of you, and you’ll want to choose a door replacement company that can give you the best. Do your research and make sure to choose a company that will give you a no-risk estimate.

Ask for References

Any reputable door replacement company will be more than willing to give you a list of previous customers they’ve done work for. Ask for references and testimonials to ensure you’ll have the best experience possible. You’ll want to ask about the quality of the work, the timeliness of the job, as well as if they’d work with the company again.

It’s also a good idea to find a door replacement company that also specializes in windows. Improperly installed doors can bring down your home’s value and raise your energy bills. Additionally, don’t forget to confirm that the door replacement company you use has the proper insurance and licenses. Most replacement companies have at least three insurance policies covering worker’s compensation, property damage, and personal liability.
