Interior Door Installation

Replacing interior doors can quietly transform a home. Cleaner lines, better sound control, smoother operation, and a more cohesive look throughout the space.

We install and replace interior doors with attention to:

  • Proper fit and reveal

  • Smooth swing and consistent gaps

  • Latch alignment and hardware placement

  • Clean trim and casing details

Whether you’re updating a single door or replacing doors throughout the home, precision is what makes the difference.

Exterior Door Installation

Exterior doors need to perform under pressure. Wind, temperature swings, moisture, and daily use all expose poor installation quickly.

Our exterior door installation services focus on:

  • Accurate framing and alignment

  • Weather sealing and insulation

  • Long-term durability

  • Clean interior and exterior finish work

A properly installed exterior door improves comfort, energy efficiency, and security while elevating curb appeal.

Door Adjustments & Repairs

Not every door needs to be replaced. Many issues can be resolved through proper adjustment and alignment.

We regularly correct problems such as:

  • Doors that rub, bind, or stick

  • Doors that won’t stay closed or swing open

  • Latch and strike plate misalignment

  • Seasonal movement issues

These fixes require experience and patience, not shortcuts.

FAQs

Do you install both interior and exterior doors?

Yes. We install and replace interior doors, exterior entry doors, and storm doors. Each type requires a different approach, and we handle them accordingly.


Do you install doors purchased from big-box stores?

Yes, as long as the door is appropriate for the opening and application. We’ll confirm fit and condition before scheduling to avoid installation issues.


Can you adjust doors that stick or won’t close properly?

Often, yes. Many door issues are caused by settling, seasonal movement, or improper installation. We focus on correcting alignment and fit rather than masking the problem.


Is it better to repair a door or replace it?

That depends on the condition of the door and the cause of the issue. We’ll recommend repair when it makes sense and replacement when it provides a better long-term result.


Do you install pre-hung doors or slab doors?

Yes. We install and replace interior doors, exterior entry doors, and storm doors. Each type requires a different approach, and we handle them accordingly.


Will you handle trim and casing around the door?

Yes. Door installation often includes trim or casing work to ensure a clean, finished appearance that matches the rest of the home.


How long does door installation take?

Yes. We install and adjust door hardware as part of the project, whether you supply it or we source it for you.


Are exterior doors sealed and insulated during installation?

Absolutely. Proper sealing and insulation are critical for performance, comfort, and energy efficiency, especially in Nebraska’s climate.
