Your front door is more than a way in and out—it is the transition point between your private haven and the bustling streets of Dallas–Fort Worth. A well-installed entry door boosts curb appeal, security, and energy efficiency. At CountBricks, we bring advanced AI estimating and on-site craftsmanship together so you can replace or upgrade your door with zero guesswork.

Every cost—door slab, jamb kit, lockset, spray foam, paint, labor, waste—flows from live supplier APIs into your custom quote. No vague allowances, no back-end “adjustments.”

The Metroplex swings from blazing summers to surprise ice storms. Material selection directly impacts longevity and utility bills.
• Steel: Top choice for security and cost control. Modern foam cores deliver strong R-values when installed with expanding foam around the frame.
• Fiberglass: Mimics real wood grain without warping in humidity. Higher upfront cost, lower maintenance over 20+ years.
• Solid Wood: Timeless character for historic homes. Requires periodic resealing to handle Texas sun. CountBricks applies marine-grade varnish for added UV protection.
Dallas adopts the 2021 IRC and IECC amendments requiring exterior doors to meet specific U-factor and SHGC limits. CountBricks’ product database filters options that fail code so you never risk red-tag delays.
1. Field Verification: Laser-measure the rough opening, check plumb, square, and substrate integrity.
2. Demo Day: Remove existing jambs carefully to protect trim and flooring.
3. Weatherproof Prep: Flashing tape, pan flashing, and sill sealer laid to manufacturer specs.
4. Door Set: Shim and fasten through hinge jamb, lock jamb, and head using structural screws.
5. Seal & Insulate: Low-expansion foam fills gaps; flexible sealant completes the exterior perimeter.

• Skipping sill pan flashing leads to hidden rot and costly sub-floor repairs.
• Over-tightening hinge screws distorts the frame and causes latch misalignment.
• Using canned spray foam incorrectly bows jambs inward, making the door stick.

CountBricks technicians are factory trained to avoid these mistakes and deliver manufacturer-backed warranties.
