CountBricks Door Frame Install | Residential Experts

Flawless Door Frame Installations Start With Accurate Numbers

Achieving a seamless door frame installation requires precision from the outset. In residential projects, the cost of a door frame install can range from $650 to $1200 per opening, depending on materials and labor. Accurate measurements, appropriate materials, and a systematic approach are crucial. Missteps like incorrect shimming or labor underestimation can lead to costly callbacks. Our platform offers real-time voice estimates, region-specific material pricing, and professional quotes, ensuring you leave the site with confidence.

Why “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough

Clients demand precision and efficiency. A door that sticks can tarnish reputations. Common oversights include:

• Angular deviations in older frames
• Fluctuating prices for solid-core vs. hollow-core doors
• Labor premiums for custom profiles

Our AI-driven platform addresses these issues, aligning estimates with real-world conditions.
