What Every Homeowner Should Know
Common Challenges
Out-of-Square Rough Openings
Door frames in homes over 15 years old are rarely perfectly plumb and square. Setting a door without correcting the rough framing leads to binding, failure to latch, and uneven gaps — problems that worsen as the house continues to settle.
Header Sizing for Wider Openings
Converting a 32" door to a 36" or double-door opening requires enlarging the structural header above it. In load-bearing walls, this needs a structural engineer's calculation and a temporary support wall during framing — permitted work.
Sill Pan Waterproofing
Water always finds the lowest point — and exterior door sills are a prime entry point during Virginia's heavy rain events. Every exterior door installation requires a properly sloped sill pan with end dams to redirect water away from the subfloor.
Long-Term Weatherstrip Performance
A door that seals perfectly on Day 1 may develop drafts within 1–2 years as weatherstripping compresses. Quality compression seals and door sweeps outlast cheaper alternatives by 3–5× across Virginia's temperature range from 15°F to 100°F.
Pro Tips from Our Team
Use 3-inch structural screws through the hinge into the structural framing — not just the door jamb. This is the single most impactful security upgrade on any residential door.
Check the floor for level at the threshold location before setting a door — an unlevel floor requires a custom threshold bevel that's much easier to address before the door is hung.
Fiberglass doors must be painted before installation if they'll be exposed to direct sunlight — uncoated fiberglass fades and becomes brittle from UV within 2 years.
For any exterior installation, always install a drip cap above the door frame — it's cheap insurance against the most common source of water infiltration at door heads.
Measure your door swing radius against furniture and walls before ordering — a door that opens into a cabinet is an expensive and embarrassing mistake to fix after installation.
