Door Installation in Watsonville, CA
Exterior and interior doors set plumb, level, and sealed against the weather.
A door that isn't hung right shows up fast — it drags, it doesn't latch, or daylight shows around the edges. An exterior door that isn't flashed right shows up more slowly, as water damage inside the wall that nobody notices until the trim starts to fail. Both come down to the same thing: getting the frame plumb, level, and properly sealed before the door ever gets hung.
We install exterior doors on new framed openings and as replacements in existing openings, and interior doors as part of additions and remodels — all set with the same attention to level and square that goes into structural framing.
Signs a Door Needs Attention
- The door drags on the floor or sticks in the frame
- Visible gaps or daylight around the edges when closed
- It won't latch or lock properly anymore
- Drafts you can feel around an exterior door even when it's shut
Our Door Installation Process
Check the opening
We confirm the rough opening is square and sized correctly before setting the frame.
Flash exterior openings
Sill pan and flashing go in on exterior doors, same as a window opening.
Set plumb & level
The frame gets shimmed and secured so the door swings and latches correctly.
Trim & seal
Trim, weatherstripping, and sealant finish the job.
What Drives Door Installation Cost
Whether it's exterior or interior, new opening or retrofit, door size and material, and any framing or trim repair needed around the opening all factor in. We'll price it after seeing the actual door and opening.
Why Watsonville Homeowners Choose Us for Doors
We frame the openings on other projects, so we know what a door frame needs to sit right — square, plumb, and properly flashed if it's exterior.
