Replace Old Doors With Secure, Energy-Efficient Options

Schedule Door Installation & Replacement in Arlington and surrounding areas

Doors that stick, let in drafts, or show wear at the bottom no longer serve your home well in Arlington. You notice gaps around the frame, hardware that rattles, or hinges that sag under the door's weight. Gates Custom Construction LLC installs and replaces interior and exterior doors, including sliding, French, barn, and custom options, with weatherproofing and sealing that keeps air and water outside where it belongs.

Frame repair and hardware replacement are completed before the new door is hung to ensure smooth operation and proper latch engagement. Energy-efficient and secure door options include insulated cores, multi-point locks, and low-E glass that reduces heat transfer. Each door is leveled, shimmed, and fastened so it opens and closes without binding or scraping the threshold.

Book your door installation and replacement in Arlington and stop drafts before they drive up energy bills.

Key Benefits of This Service

Door replacement in Arlington starts with measuring the rough opening to confirm the new door will fit without major framing changes. You choose materials, glass options, and hardware finishes during a consultation. The team removes the old door and inspects the frame for rot, settling, or damage that affects how the new door sits.

Gates Custom Construction LLC repairs framing, replaces damaged trim, and installs the new door with shims that keep it plumb and level. Weatherstripping is added around the perimeter, and thresholds are sealed to block water and air infiltration. Locksets, deadbolts, and handles are installed with strike plates aligned for secure closure.

Final adjustments include planing edges if needed, tightening hinge screws, and testing the swing to confirm clearance. You get a door that latches firmly, seals out weather, and operates smoothly every time you use it.

What's Included in This Service

Homeowners often ask about weatherproofing, frame repair, and how different door styles perform. These questions help you choose the right door and understand what installation involves.

How do I know if my door frame needs repair?
Signs include cracks in the jamb, rot around the sill, or gaps between the frame and wall. The team inspects the frame during removal and repairs or replaces damaged sections before the new door is installed.
What is the most energy-efficient door option?
Insulated steel or fiberglass doors with low-E glass offer the best thermal performance. Weatherstripping and proper sealing around the frame also reduce heat loss.
Can you install a sliding or barn door indoors?
Yes, sliding and barn doors are mounted on tracks attached to the wall or ceiling. Installation includes framing support and hardware that keeps the door rolling smoothly.
How long does door installation take?
Most interior or exterior doors are installed in two to four hours. Frame repairs or custom doors may take longer depending on the work needed.
Do you seal exterior doors against rain and wind?
Yes, weatherstripping is installed around the door, and caulk seals gaps between the frame and siding. Thresholds are sloped to shed water away from the opening.

New doors in Arlington stop drafts, reduce noise, and improve security without requiring a full remodel. Frames are repaired, hardware is aligned, and seals keep weather outside. Contact us to schedule your door installation and choose options that fit your home.
