Replace Doors That No Longer Close Right

Door installation and replacement services in Pelham for entry doors, interior doors, and trim finishing.

When a door in your Pelham home drags across the floor, does not latch without force, or lets cold air through the frame, it is usually a sign that the door or the jamb has shifted or worn down. You might notice gaps around an entry door that let in drafts, interior doors that stick in the summer and swing open in the winter, or hardware that no longer lines up. REZ Contracting replaces interior and exterior doors to restore proper fit, improve security, and update the appearance of entryways and room transitions. The work includes removing the old door and jamb if needed, installing the new unit, and finishing the trim so everything aligns and closes cleanly.

Door replacement addresses problems that affect comfort, energy loss, and the way a home looks and functions. Entry doors are installed with weatherstripping and thresholds that seal against air and water, and interior doors are hung to swing freely without rubbing or binding. You will see cleaner lines, smoother operation, and finishes that match the rest of the home once the installation is complete.

If you are dealing with doors that no longer work the way they should, reach out to discuss replacement options and what the installation involves in your Pelham home.

What Happens When a Door Gets Replaced

Door replacement in Pelham starts with removing the old door and evaluating the condition of the jamb and rough opening. REZ Contracting checks for level and plumb, adjusts the framing if necessary, and installs the new door with shims and fasteners that allow it to swing smoothly without sagging. Entry doors are sealed with weatherstripping and caulking to prevent air and water infiltration, and interior doors are trimmed with casing that matches existing profiles or updates the look of the room.

After the door is installed, you will notice that it closes firmly without gaps, the latch engages without resistance, and the frame sits flush against the wall. Entry doors no longer let cold air through, and interior doors swing open and shut without catching on the floor or frame.

Hardware such as handles, deadbolts, and hinges are installed to align properly and function without binding, and all trim is caulked and finished to match the surrounding walls and baseboards. The work does not include repainting walls or replacing flooring, but the installation is completed so the door fits the space as it should. If the rough opening has shifted or sustained damage, that is addressed before the new door is set.

Common concerns before replacing a door

Homeowners in Pelham often want to know how long the installation takes, whether the jamb needs to be replaced along with the door, and how new doors are matched to the style of the home. These questions help clarify what is involved and what to prepare for.

How long does it take to replace a door?
Most door replacements take half a day to a full day depending on whether the jamb is being replaced and whether adjustments to the rough opening are needed. Entry doors take longer than interior doors because of weatherproofing and hardware installation.
When does the door jamb need to be replaced?
The jamb is replaced if it is damaged, out of square, or does not fit the new door properly. REZ Contracting evaluates the existing jamb during removal and recommends replacement if the door will not seal or hang correctly without it.
What types of doors can be installed?
Entry doors, interior slab doors, pre-hung interior doors, and doors with sidelights or transoms can all be installed. You can choose from wood, fiberglass, or steel for entry doors, and paint-grade or stain-grade materials for interior doors.
How do you match trim to existing doors and baseboards?
REZ Contracting can match existing trim profiles or update the casing to a more modern style that works across all doors in the home. Samples and measurements are reviewed before installation begins.
What should I know before replacing a door in Pelham?
You should know whether the issue is with the door itself or the jamb and frame, and whether you want to update the style or match what is already in the home. A site visit helps identify what needs to be replaced and what can stay.

If your doors are difficult to close, letting in drafts, or no longer matching the updated finishes in your home, replacement restores function and appearance in a way that lasts. REZ Contracting works with homeowners in Pelham to install entry and interior doors with clean trim and proper alignment. Get in touch to discuss what needs attention and schedule an installation.
