Wondering how much wooden door installation will cost? Getting estimates from local professional door contractors is the best way to figure out how much you’ll need to budget for the home improvement project.
Online home services marketplaces, like HomeAdvisor.com, can give you a general idea of the typical price range for installing exterior wood doors. But every project is unique, and several factors impact the overall cost.
If live in northern Utah, the professional team at Rocky Mountain Windows & Doors can give you a free estimate for wooden door installation. Here, we explain what determines the project price.
Door Construction
You’ll have the choice of either solid or composite wood. The latter option, engineered with a range of materials including hardwood, glass-reinforced plastic and insulating foam, is less expensive. That said, solid wood has a premium allure, and many Utah homeowners find it to be worth the additional cost.
Installation Time
Whether you opt for a pre-hung wooden door or one with a frame, you can expect the hourly labor rates to be the same. But, the amount of time for professional door installation isn’t. While pre-hung models take just a few hours to put in place, those with frames can take two or three times as long, which increases the overall labor charges.
Sidelight Installation
If you plan to install sidelights, or slim windows that go along each side of an exterior wooden door, your home improvement project price will be at least several hundred dollars higher. And depending upon the type and style of sidelights you choose, your cost could rise by as much as a few thousand.
Project Customizations
It should come as no surprise to learn that projects that go beyond basic wooden door installation have additional costs. If you want, say, customized hardware or sidelights with wrought iron or stained glass panels, your project price will be correspondingly increased. But, with a customized build, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind look that’s perfect for your northern Utah home.
