Door Replacement in Austin - Free Measure, Exact Written Quote

Trusted Door Replacement for Austin Homeowners

Austin’s heat, humidity, and occasional hail do not go easy on entry doors. We see it all the time: warped slabs that no longer close square, rusted thresholds, fogged glass inserts, and frames that have shifted after years of clay soil movement. Since 2001, Juniper Windows Austin has handled door replacement across Austin, brought to you by the Relay Home Co. family. We are led by Sean Mackey, a name you’ll see on your written quote and on the crew sheet before anyone arrives. Every project gets a fixed price in writing before work begins, and every installation is covered by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.

Door Frame Repair

Door Frame Repair in Austin is often the smarter fix when the slab is still solid but the jamb, threshold, or trim has taken damage from moisture, foundation settling, or a forced entry attempt. Juniper Windows Austin starts with a full frame assessment: we check for rot at the sill, gaps at the weatherstripping, hinge pull-out, and any sign that the frame has twisted out of square. If the frame is salvageable, we repair it. If it is not, we tell you straight and quote a replacement at the same visit. Frame repair typically runs $250 to $700 in Austin, depending on whether we are shimming and re-hanging, splicing in new jamb sections, or rebuilding the threshold.

Rot and Moisture Damage Repair

On the north and east sides of Austin homes, we regularly find sill rot from sprinkler overspray and shaded overhangs that never fully dry. We cut out the damaged wood, treat the remaining frame, and splice in fresh material that matches the existing profile.

Out-of-Square Frame Correction

Clay soil in neighborhoods like Wells Branch and Jollyville shifts with every wet-dry cycle, and a door that was square five years ago may now rub at the top or stick at the latch. We re-shim the frame, re-set the hinges, and adjust the strike plate so the door closes with one hand instead of a shoulder shove.

Interior Door Replacement

Interior Door Replacement covers every door inside your Austin home: bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, pantries, and the door from the garage into the house. We replace hollow-core doors that have been punched through, hollowed by moisture, or simply look tired after years of Austin humidity and daily use. Juniper Windows Austin carries solid-core options that cut hallway noise and six-panel and shaker styles that match both 1970s ranch homes in North Austin and newer builds in Buda. Interior door replacement typically runs $350 to $950 per door including the slab, hinges, hardware, and labor, depending on whether the existing frame stays or gets replaced.

Upgrading to Solid-Core Doors

If you work from home in Lost Creek or have teenagers in Brushy Creek, you already know how much sound travels through hollow-core doors. A solid-core replacement drops the noise level noticeably and gives a door real weight when it closes.

Replacing Damaged Slabs on Existing Frames

When the frame is square and the hinges are solid, we can often swap just the slab in under two hours. That keeps the cost down and means no messing with trim, paint, or drywall.

Interior Door Installation

Interior Door Installation is what we do when a homeowner is adding, moving, or upgrading doors during a remodel, or when new construction in growing Austin suburbs requires doors hung from scratch. We pre-hang doors at our shop to match the exact rough opening, then set the frame level and plumb on install day. This service includes new jambs, casing, hinges, hardware, and the door itself. Interior door installation in Austin typically runs $450 to $1,200 per door, depending on whether we are working in new openings or retrofitting existing ones, plus the cost of any trim and paint.

Pre-Hung Door Systems

Pre-hanging means the door arrives with the frame already assembled and squared, which cuts on-site time and eliminates the gaps you get from hanging a slab into an old frame. We pre-hang every interior unit we install in Lakeway and Camp Swift.

Hardware and Latch Work

A new door with a worn-out latch is a new door that does not feel new. We install new hardware on every interior door replacement, matched to your existing finish or upgraded to a modern brushed nickel or matte black if requested.

Door Installers

Door Installers at Juniper Windows Austin are full-time employees, not day-labor picked up for the week. Every installer is background-checked, uniformed, and trained on the trade’s real terminology: shim spacing, reveal margins, U-factor on glass inserts, and air infiltration ratings. When a door is installed wrong, you feel it in the draft, you see it in the daylight at the threshold, and you hear it when the wind blows. Our door installers hang doors in Austin every week, in everything from pier-and-beam bungalows in Hornsby Bend to new construction in Shady Hollow, and we also handle Cedar Park Door Replacement. Standard door installation labor runs $400 to $900 in Austin for a single entry or interior door, with the full replacement including the door itself falling in the ranges listed above.

Background-Checked and Uniformed

You will know exactly who is at your door before you open it. Our installers carry photo ID, wear Juniper uniforms, and arrive with a live tracking link already sent to your phone through the Relay Standard.

Written Scope, No Verbal Changes

We write down exactly what the install includes: trim, hardware, disposal, caulking, weatherstripping. If something changes mid-job, you approve a new written line before we proceed. No surprises at the final invoice.

Door Contractors

Door Contractors in Austin range from solo handymen to full remodel companies. Juniper Windows Austin sits in a specific lane: we are door and window specialists, not general contractors who happen to hang a door between tiling a bathroom and patching drywall. That focus means we know the difference between a Therma-Tru sill that needs a pan and a wood sill that needs flashing tape, and we know which Austin code requirements apply to your specific entry. Door contractor pricing in Austin generally lands between $800 and $4,500 for a full exterior door replacement, and that is the range we work within, with your written quote locked before any work starts.

Specialist, Not Generalist

We do not pour foundations, we do not run HVAC lines, and we do not pretend to. Door replacement in Austin is the whole job, which means our crew has seen the problem you are dealing with hundreds of times and already knows the fix.

Permit and Code Familiarity

Exterior door replacements in Austin can require permits depending on scope, especially when a door is being relocated or a rough opening is being enlarged. We handle the permit paperwork and know when the city requires a third-party inspection.

Brands We Service

We install and service Therma-Tru entry systems, which means we are as comfortable with their Tru-Defense door bottoms and multi-point locking hardware as we are with a basic pre-hung unit. Therma-Tru fiberglass doors are common across Austin because they hold up to our sun without warping the way wood does. If you have a Therma-Tru door with a failing seal or a sticking astragal, we can fix it.

ViewLux impact-rated doors are another staple for Austin homeowners, particularly west of the city where hail and wind are a regular concern. We also work extensively with PGT and CGI door products, which deliver the impact-rated glass (built to resist wind-borne debris without shattering) that Texas storm season calls for. Whether you have one of these brands or something else entirely on your frame, we can help.

Signs You Need a Pro Right Now

• Daylight visible around the door edges. If you can see light through the gap, water and air are getting through too. That gap is costing you money on every air-conditioned day and every cold front that hits Austin.
• The door drags or sticks when it opens. This is usually frame movement from Austin’s expansive clay soil, and forcing the door only makes the hinge screws loosen faster.
• You can feel a draft standing near the closed door. Weatherstripping failure on an entry door is the quiet budget-killer. A draft means your HVAC system is working overtime and your door is no longer sealing.
• The threshold flexes or sinks when you step on it. A soft threshold is often the first visible sign of rot underneath. In Austin’s humidity, that rot spreads fast once water has a way in.
• Locking the door takes real effort. If the deadbolt will not slide without lifting or pulling the door, the frame and the strike plate are no longer aligned. That is a security issue and a sign the door is not long for this world.

Our Process, Step by Step

1. 1
   Book a free estimate. Call (325) 420-1750 or use our online scheduler. A real person answers, takes your address, and books a time that works for you.
2. 2
   On-site assessment. Sean or a senior installer comes to your Austin home and checks the existing door, frame, rough opening, and exposure. We take photos and measurements and explain exactly what is wrong and what it will take to fix it.
3. 3
   Written fixed quote. You get a line-item price in writing before any work starts. That number is the number, covered in writing, with no change orders unless you approve a written revision first.
4. 4
   Installation day. Your background-checked, uniformed installer arrives with a live arrival time already sent to your phone. They install the door, flash and seal the opening, set the hardware, and clean the site.
5. 5
   After-install review. You get before-and-after photos, a digital invoice you can pay from a link, and a walkthrough of the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If anything is not right within a year, we come back and make it right, free.
