Door Replacement FAQs
Is "door installation" the same thing as door replacement?
Yes — if you searched for door installation, you're in the right place. Installing a new door in an existing opening (taking the old one out first) is exactly what this page covers. A true new-construction install, where there's no existing door or frame at all, is a different and less common job — let us know if that's your situation and we'll advise on the best approach.
Do I need to buy the door myself?
Yes — we install doors that you supply. Pick it up from Home Depot, Lowe's, or any home center. We'll help you confirm the right size before you buy.
What's the difference between a slab door and a pre-hung door?
A slab door is just the door panel — it fits into an existing frame. A pre-hung door comes with the frame and hinges already attached and is used when the existing frame is damaged or removed.
Can you replace an exterior entry door?
Yes. We handle exterior door replacement including removal of the old door, installation, weatherstripping, and hardware. Note that structural or framing issues around the opening may require a specialty contractor or structural engineer.
Can I text photos for an estimate?
Yes — photos are the fastest way to get an estimate. Send a shot of the full door, the frame, and any damage. Text to 412-353-5341.
Do you also repair doors that don't need full replacement?
Yes. See our Doors & Trim repair page for sticking doors, hardware fixes, trim work, and other door repairs that don't require a full replacement.
How long does door replacement take?
Most single interior door replacements take two to three hours. Exterior doors typically take three to four hours depending on how the existing frame is set and whether the trim needs to be replaced. If we're replacing multiple doors in one visit, we can usually stack them efficiently. We'll give you a realistic time estimate before we schedule so you can plan your day.
Can you replace a door in an older Pittsburgh-area home where the opening may be out of square?
Yes — this comes up often in older homes throughout the area. When a rough opening is out of square, we shim and adjust the installation to get the door hanging and operating correctly. A slab door requires a more precise opening than a pre-hung door, so if the frame is significantly out of square we'll usually recommend going pre-hung. We'll assess the opening when we look at photos and give you a straight answer on what approach makes sense.
Door Replacement Cost in Moon Township
Several factors affect the cost of a door replacement. Here's what moves the number up or down.
Interior vs. Exterior
Interior doors are generally simpler and faster to install — hollow-core slabs, standard hardware, straightforward openings. Exterior doors involve weatherstripping, proper sealing, security hardware, and more exacting installation since they're exposed to weather. Exterior replacements take more time and involve more material.
Slab vs. Pre-Hung
A slab door drops into an existing frame and is the lower-cost option when the frame is in good shape. A pre-hung door comes with the jamb already attached and is needed when the frame is damaged, rotted, or the opening has shifted. Pre-hung takes more time to set and adjust than a slab swap.
Trim Replacement
If the existing door casing is damaged, rotted, or doesn't fit the new door cleanly, it needs to be replaced. Adding new trim to both sides of a door adds material and time. If your trim is in good shape and the new door matches the existing profile, we can often reuse it.
Hardware Choices
Basic hardware — passage knobs or lever handles — is straightforward. Keyed entry sets, deadbolts, smart locks, and multi-point locks each add time and cost. We install whatever hardware you supply. If you're not sure what you need, we can help you think through it before you buy.

Door Replacement in Moon Township and the Pittsburgh Area
Door replacement comes up for a few different reasons. Interior doors get damaged — doorknob holes that went through the door rather than the wall, hollow-core doors that cracked or split, or doors that were painted shut so many times they no longer close properly. Exterior doors get replaced when weatherstripping fails and drafts become noticeable in the winter, when the door has warped or swelled to the point of sticking badly, or when the homeowner simply wants to update the look of the entry.
Moon Township homes span a wide range of ages and door conditions. In older neighborhoods like Carnot and along Flaugherty Run, original interior doors may be hollow-core units that have had a rough few decades, and exterior doors often have drafts around the frame because the original weatherstripping has long since failed. In newer developments off University Boulevard and Route 60, the calls are more likely upgrade replacements — swapping a builder-grade door for something that looks and functions better.
When we handle a door replacement, we remove the old door, assess the rough opening, and fit the new door to the existing frame. Pre-hung door installations include shimming, leveling, squaring the frame, and fitting the casing trim so everything looks clean from both sides. Hardware installation, mortising for the latch and strike plate, and adjusting for proper swing and latch engagement are all part of the job. On exterior doors, weatherstripping is included in the installation.
