Our Process
How We Work
Measurement & Selection
We measure the existing opening precisely, discuss your needs for style, material, and security, and help you select the right door and hardware for the space.
Removal
We remove the existing door, inspect the frame and rough opening for any damage or rot, and make repairs as needed before installing the new door.
Installation
We set the new door in the frame, shim and level it for perfect alignment, secure it to the framing, and install all hardware including hinges, knobs, locks, and deadbolts.
Sealing & Finishing
We install weatherstripping on exterior doors, caulk around the frame, and test the door for smooth operation. The finished installation looks clean and functions perfectly.
Why Allforce
Why Choose Allforce Services for Door Installation?
Older Charleston homes often have door frames that are not perfectly square. Settling, humidity, and decades of use can cause frames to shift. We shim and level every door to work with the actual frame, not just the ideal one. Exterior doors are sealed and weatherstripped to keep out the heat, humidity, and bugs that are part of living in the Lowcountry. We also take care with the trim and casing so the finished door looks like it belongs in your home.
Perfect Fit
We shim and level every door to the actual frame, accounting for settling and movement common in older Charleston homes.
Energy Efficiency
Exterior doors are weatherstripped and sealed to reduce drafts and keep your energy costs down.
Full Hardware
We install and upgrade all hardware including hinges, knobs, deadbolts, and locksets.
Common Questions
Door Installation FAQ
How much does door installation cost in Charleston?
Door installation costs depend on the type of door, whether it is interior or exterior, and whether the frame needs repair or modification. A standard interior door replacement is one of the more affordable home improvement projects. Exterior entry doors and French doors are higher due to the door cost and the weatherproofing work involved. We provide free estimates with clear, upfront pricing.
Can you install a door in an existing frame?
Yes, in most cases we can install a new door in your existing frame as long as the frame is in good condition. If the frame is damaged, rotted, or significantly out of square, we will recommend replacing the frame along with the door to ensure a proper fit and seal.
How long does it take to install a door?
A standard interior door replacement usually takes two to three hours. An exterior door installation with weatherproofing and hardware takes about half a day. French doors and sliding glass doors may take a full day depending on the complexity of the opening and any frame modifications needed.
