The sill is the leak
Door water shows up at the floor, not the top trim. We pan the sill and lap it to the wrap before the new door goes in.
DOORS
Entry and Patio Door Replacement
Doors are the openings you feel: the draft at the entry, the patio slider that fogs, the threshold that trips you on the way to the deck. GetHomeFix replaces entry doors and patio doors, and we treat a full door replacement as its own sequenced project when more than one opening is involved. Most door days are short. The ordering is what takes the time.
What the project includes
- Entry, patio slider and swinging patio doors
- A flashed opening and a pan under the sill
- Thresholds that meet the deck or the porch without a pond
- Hardware, weatherstrip and a latch that lines up
- Interior and exterior trim closed up the same day
What matters on the Eastside
Patio doors belong to the deck
If the deck, the cover or the railing is in the same season’s work, the door height and the swing get drawn with that project, not after the deck boards are down.
Security and drafts together
A solid feel and a tight weatherstrip are the same installation. We do not hang a heavy door in a racked opening and call the draft “the weather.”
Doors by city
Each city page covers the permit desk, the HOA habits and the conditions we actually meet at that address.
Materials
Choose the product
Every material below is its own page: what it is right for, what it costs you in maintenance, and where we would talk you out of it.
Entry Doors
Insulated entry doors — solid, glass, or a sidelight — hung plumb with a sill that does not funnel rain inside.
- Fiberglass, steel or wood slabs with a frame to match
- Sidelights and transoms only when the opening and the architecture want them
- A pan-flashed sill and a threshold tied to the porch or stoop
Patio Doors
Sliding and swinging patio doors that open to the deck or cover, with a sill detailed for the rain that runs off both.
- Sliding patio doors and swinging French-style doors
- Sill pans tied to the weather barrier and the deck flashing
- A threshold height planned with the deck boards or the patio slab
Door Replacement
The full sequence for one door or the whole exterior set: measure, order, flash, hang, trim, done in a day you can live through.
- A measure that includes swing, sill height and what is outside the door
- One order so finishes match across the doors you are doing
- Install that leaves the house locked at the end of the day
How it works
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
The same sequence on a repair or a full exterior.
01
Free consultation
Call or send the form. We schedule a visit at the house and confirm we cover the address.
02
Scope and fixed estimate
We measure, talk through materials, and hand you a written itemized price. That price is the price.
03
Permits and build
You typically pull the permit. We tell you what the city will look at, then run the job with one project manager.
04
Walkthrough
We walk the finished work with you, close the punch list, and go over the warranty terms for that project.
Questions
Before you call
How long does a door replacement take?
A single entry or patio door is often one day. Several openings, or a resized opening, take longer. Custom doors have a lead time we put in the schedule before you sign.
Do you install garage doors?
Garage doors are a different trade and a different warranty. We will refer that scope rather than pretend it is the same as an entry door. If the trim and siding around the garage opening are ours, that part stays in our estimate.
Can the door match new windows?
Yes, and it should, when both are being replaced. Same manufacturer where we can, same exterior color, same glass coating on the glass doors.
